V Magazine #134 Spring 2022 : Gigi Hadid by Mario Sorrenti

I quite like this. Gigi looks good and points for originality.
 
I do like it....yes
 
For me the editorial works and it's good, which doesn't happen with the covers!
 
Finally a good work, I think she's back.
 
Its Mario Sorrenti so its good, but it feels so similar to a Harper's Bazaar US shoot from a year or two ago. Like the same setting.
 
For an expensive production, not much going on here, uh.
 
^^^ George got so lazy with the styling.

I get that it would have been a challenge for her to be doing all these acrobatics in SL jackets/suiting/dresses and not resemble a ball of scrunched up clothes. But the basic bodysuits just drag down the solid setting-- and Gigi showing off her new trapeze skills is just not interesting enough to carry a shoot.
 
I only like the heels and the LV shots, at least they have some fashion elements in it. The rest just look like cirque du soleil practice shoot.

Cortina continues to do bare minimum for this magazine. Sometimes I feels like he is doing charity for this magazine because they need him more than he needs them.
 
^^^ A Cirque performer would have been stronger a subject for this setting than Gigi, frankly.

She seems to be dictating the shoot rather than Mario and George. And again, she’s simply not interesting enough to carry a shoot on her terms. Mario’s natural instincts for shooting women with such smoulder is completely absent from this shoot: The wide-shots of her are so bland and serves nothing but her ego as a trapeze athlete. And George’s signature minimalist styling is so dowdy/frumpy/grey here that she blends right in seamlessly with all the metal poles and supports— rather than stand out. Some fashion tropes would have elevated this shoot: bare legs, her trademark mane, heels, George’s signature white button-down shirt etc …God, look at how Herb would effortlessly bring the smoulder and sensuality with an eye for the human body standing out so boldly against cold, geometric shapes and a barren landscape, like in the Janet video “Love Will Never Do”.
 
I like the idea of this but it’s a stupid idea for a shoot if you’re not going to put any effort into the outfits. For the most part gigi looks really good but have to say her looks have changed a lot facially
 
The bottom left photo in the small photo set should have never been published. It's one of the least gracious things I have seen a model do in an editorial. The ultimate anti-pose.
 
If I may add to the references suggested by @kasper! and @VogueGirl8910, Gisele by Mert & Marcus for Pirelli 2006 was the first thing that came to mind. This looks like the funny, self-deprecating outtakes of that shooting, though.

As a guy with vertigo I find this scary. Gigi is so brave!
