And I’ve said it earlier, the need for representation from Asians American is legitimate but let’s not act that Asians people don’t have a voice in the fashion industry in general!
The Colgate comment is hilarious while sadly accurate.Really mediocre, I've seen Colgate ads that are more glamorous. And the face masks everywhere are so depressing.
I’ve said this before on this forum and I’m gonna say it again: the digital advertising revenue matters. Sure, magazines can still cater to the people who buy them but the ad pages bought by the likes of LVMH and Kering will not be enough to cover the luxurious life expense of the powers that be at Conde Nast. They need revenues from advertisers who now believe more in the dominance of Google Display Network and Facebook. Hence why what is being put on the magazines should mirror what is going on online. It wouldn’t surprise me if every meeting they have when discussing about upcoming issues would start with “what are we going to do online?” first before bringing up anything related to the pages of the magazine.
I just can't believe all the complaining and moaning that is going on on here.
The United States as a country has 5 million cases of Covid19, 180,000 deaths in 5 months and a crisis we haven't seen in generations. Black citizens are executed in the streets, racists have been emboldened by this administration, the industry is on the brink of a collapse, brands and companies are laying off people at a pace never seen before, and people are pouting because Scarlett Johannson is not on the September cover of Vogue. Hmkay.
The common thread for all the Conde Nast editions was Hope and they all approached the concept in different ways, struggling with different circumstances that changed country by country.
Vogue US decided to give exposure to fine artists, reminiscing of the beautiful Vogue covers of the 1920s and 1930's and it's a nice choice for a change CONSIDERING THE CIRCUMSTANCES. So what? Take a deep breath and relax and just hope that things will go back to normal, if they ever will.
I read all the messages on here and I have seen the following words used multiple times: ugly, depressing, hate, desperation. The moderator of this thread referred to these covers as 'crap'. Some moderation.
Imagine if the artists selected by Vogue for this cover happened to read these messages. In a rare occasion when they are being given incredible exposure and recognition by one of the most important publications in the world a bunch of accomplished creative directors, art directors, EICs and stylists are tearing their work apart...Oh wait, you are none of that.
And there goes the Hope message.
The tone deafness, disrespect and the naiveté on display here are staggering. It takes my breath away.
Aurora's cover is actually a grower.
