V Magazine #139 Winter 2022 : Adut Akech, Imaan Hammam, Gigi Hadid & He Cong by Adrienne Raquel

[penny609]

So far I like all I see, covers included. That said, Imaan's part is favorite.

I normally don't like pics shot from this angle but all are stunning. The spreads are disappointing though.

I feel... robbed. Robbed that He Cong is the magazine's fourth and final cover girl, Gisele Bundchen's name is printed on the cover and we didn't get a stellar Gisele cover to blow us away. We ALL know she'd of killed this type of shoot.

Nevertheless, our savior that is Imaan Hammam delivers the goods and outshines the others. What a knockout cover!

Wow, all the covers and pics looks amazing! It's so rare to see good quality of models, covers and content these days.

So happy to see He Cong! She looks incredible.

 

[Kiyoko]

Adut always brings it.

 

[WAVES]

Adut is killing it!

 

[YohjiAddict]

Incredible editorial! The blue sky and the angle do give off that heroic vibe they were aiming for. Even Gigi looks good and not tired like in her recent runway appearances

She hasn't wowed me with her editorial work so far, but this is pretty good. She looks a little like Maggie Cheung in the cover.

All the covers are great with the Y2K's aesthetic.

 

[Mr Yayo]

Would’ve liked to see Anok rocking this as well as someone like Anna Ewers/Grace Elizabeth

I feel... robbed. (...)

My precious @vogue28 , you shouldn't feel that way because this Gisele's couture spread I'm about to post is literally - EVERYTHING!

How the wait for our glorious Gisele was so worth it! What a delightful couture story, love the backlit lighting from Solve Sundsbo which immediately took me back to his story with Gisele for American Harper's Bazaar back in 2003! This is everything I needed - and then some.

@[B]Zorka[/B], a million thanks, as per usual, for providing us ALL with the goodies. Thank you!

Gisele’s editorial is very good, surprised they didn’t use her for a cover too since it’s multi.

Gisele’s editorial is very good, surprised they didn’t use her for a cover too since it’s multi.

All four covers were photographed by the same photographer (Adrienne Raquel), all have the same (visual) concept and all represent the Resort/Cruise 2023 collections (Adut - Gucci Cruise; Imaan - Louis Vuitton Cruise; Gigi - Chanel Cruise; He - Dior Cruise), while Gisele was photographed by Sølve Sundsbø and she's wearing Couture Winter 2022. So it's a huge difference (in every possible sense) between chosen covers and Gisele's editorial, and no mater how much I love Gisele, I think that V Magazine has made the right decision not to mix apples and oranges.

 

[ah ah]

My opinion might not be popular here, but all this looks extremely dated to me.

 

[Mr Yayo]

Only Gisele can do both sexy and ethereal effortlessly- wishing her the very best and I really hope she never retires from modelling

 

[Alien Sex Friend]

Gisele is such a filler queen. She reminds me of all these getting old gold diggers from bel air

 

[Bertrando3]

WOWWWWW Gisele's story is BRILLIANT !!! I see so so so many cover opportunities lost, these editors are stupid, THESE IMAGES SCREAM COVER to many of us, come on !!!
