They really sabotaged the newsstand buyer with this... horrid. But an interesting choice to have her on the cover amid all the controversy regarding her charity - and in Dolce & Gabbana, of all brands. Gotta love her persistence lmao

I do like the special cover tho

 

[Royal-Galliano]

the profile cover looks stunning but no. it's interesting that there have been so many people in the industry cancelled over the years, but naomi is still standing. does she know something the others wouldn't? lol

I used to love V Magazine, but this is a hard pass, it has been ages since they had a worthy issue. Gigi's celebration issue felt such a non-event and while I find this couture concept and hardcover interesting, Naomi as a subject in this time just feels irrelevant.

Newsstand cover is atrocious, my God.

I think Naomi might benefit from lying low for a bit. Absence makes the heart grow fonder lol. Ego probably won’t allow for that, though.

Love both but prefer the second cover. The little smirk is selling the cover!

No and nothing works. She needs to retire.

The charecter leaves little to the imagination

The cover with the Dolce & Gabbana lace veil is definitely the strongest cover out of the two. I'm not hating on this. I am genuinely sat here feeling like this is the best Naomi Campbell has looked in what feels like AGES! She suits those Dolce & Gabbana pieces perfectly, and I love how chic, sharp, and sexy this all is.

At this point, Naomi has done everything- five times over.
So nothing feels fresh, nothing feels new or exciting. It really begs the question- why still be all over the place? Respect to her tenure in the game, for sure. But, at what point is enough enough or time to go into something bigger or a retirement?

Especially with the Fashion for Relief scandal, wouldn't it have been more wise to kind of chill for the moment? Or at least for the remainder of this year? V has kind of lost it, as far as generating exciting content as they did in the past.

The V covers with Naomi are not my cup of tea. However, I do think that this is the best Naomi editorial in what seems like forever. She actually looks attractive and the photographs are very polished and beautiful. I do completely agree with your comments regarding her work in the last few years.

Does anybody have photos of the Aubrey Plaza editorial in this issue? I just saw makeup artist Kathy Jeung posted about it. The photos look great.

 

[alwaysademo]

Maty Fall is so dreamy. I really like the shot with the puffy sleeves.
Jiahui is too. My eyes go straight to her in last pic.

This magazine needs to stop. What an old fashioned bag of boredom.

This magazine needs to stop. What an old fashioned bag of boredom.

Haha, this issue sort of is, for sure. No comment on Naomi's performance, not worth.
Second story is slightly better, I do like some of the pictures posted here but all in all, it's just the same of recipe Krisprolls, sorry I meant Chris Colls, gives us for about a decade or more. Special mention to Quinn Mora, though, too rare in magazines and definitely the one catching my attention in that series.
Last one by Nathaniel Goldberg is not bad either, but nothing beyond exciting. Simple studio shots put together can work well every now and then, but there are legions of them everywhere and there have been some for already too long.
So, yes, if all they can offer is a 3-story-issue with nothing standing out, they might consider stopping it...
