US Vogue October 2015 : Lupita Nyong'o by Mert Alas & Marcus Piggott

[Creative]

Snoozefest.

The edito with Lupita Nyong'o is gorgeous.
A shame that the layout of the cover and the background are so dull. Like it was already last month with Beyoncé. Strange.

Lupita's ed is so beautiful. I can't deal with those editorials by David Sims. It was cool time ago, but now, are pretty boring and repetitive.

After Beyonce's nightmare of a September cover, I would've appreciated Anna selecting the alternative shot from the 'Letter from the Editor' page as the cover, which just oozes the timeless elegance of US Vogue. This particular cover doesn't excite me whatsoever and I can't see ANY signs of Mert & Marcus' typical aesthetic in Lupita's cover story. They must've seriously watered themselves down for Anna!

Andreea injects a whole new dimension into David Sims' story, but Raquel's modeling is second to none. The rest of the issue looks seemingly mundane. Oxymore, thanks for the HQ's!

Is it just me or is this issue a little heavy on the wig department?

 

[anlabe32]

That wig on Trentini is hideous. She looks like a teenage boy.

Vanderperre's ed is nice. That shot of Alisa is gorgeous. Can't believe they did that to Dylan though. Much prefer to see her face instead of Hollie May's.

I will buy this for Lupita's glorious spread alone!

I really feel that Caroline Trentini in US is becoming extremely tiring and boring. Look at that ed by Testino. How many times have we seen that jumping-and-in-shock expression on her? And this is not fun. I'd rather see another model doing the same pose/expression for a change (we know that's Anna's formula for eds).

Last night I was flipping through this year's Vogue US and found that Trentini was in 7 out of 9 issues (8 out of 10 including this issue)...

WOW! way to push your layout/design team to the next level with that uber original beauty spread!

I am consistently let down be their design team, the lack of editorial content which inspires me to look at and put clothes together with fresh new eyes, humdrum models and even duller celebrities/designers on repeat.

where is the pizzaz? images which grab you, and stay with you, creates a lasting impression and makes you dream? certainly not in this issue, this magazine.

As much as I agree with you re Trentini, I think there are very few girls out there who can really master these US Vogue jumping/movement features. Maybe only Karlie, Raquel and Edie, and perhaps Tami Williams (her last one with McDean looked quite good). They've actually tried it with many other girls - Doutzen, Lily, Natasha, Isabeli etc etc, and most recently Anna Ewers and Grace Hartzel, who ended up looking terribly awkward, like a bunch of broken marionettes. So I can see why they keep going back to Caroline.

Speaking of Grace, she looks really striking in the beauty shot above! The best I've ever seen of her.

How many pages are there? I saw a few copies on Instagram and it doesn't seem thick enough for the season's second most important issue.

 

[Melancholybaby]

^318 pages.

So I hadn't realised that Lupita had modelled as a young girl in Nairobi, Kenya.

Lord, that is one horrific statistic. And to think that it's been over a decade now that Trentini's been appearing in near consecutive Vogue issues. Has there ever been any other model in the history of US Vogue that has appeared this frequently and consistently? I think not.

Well... Carol T is my personal friend, so, I love when someone put a review w/ Trentini inside any fashion magazine, Vogue US in particular.
