Hahahahhaha!!!
And I thought V would get better once they got rid of Inez and Vinoudh cheapness. Turns out - V Magazine is cheap always. What horrific shoot.
But still better than Inez and Vinoudh cheapness ess - they do cheap and dull, this is cheap and campy

I like it cause you can see the effort, even if the concept itself is tired. But effort is so rare these days.

Can't stand Doja Cat tho.

That's also how I feel about this. It's by no means great, but I will always appreciate when creatives "try" and give something other than the empty studio shot that seems to be the norm. The bar is so low these days.

Lmao.

They could've done this pulled alien look better with Madge.

I like Sara and it's nice that her push into acting is getting her modeling jobs because she has a gorgeous face, but honey, that is not a fashion scream.

In the past most of the Victoria Secret's models used to be named as the least talented among the girls in fashion industry. A decade later, with nepo and influencers taking the stage and magazines, we realize how wrong we were about them. This kind of natural beauty and skills are missed. Also they were attached to men's magazines, girls like Elsa, Sara, Irina when she started, and so many. I still have my old collection of GQ and some editorials are gorgeous.

Amanda Lepore should be on that cover...

Steven Klein has been odd to me for many years now. It's been forever since I seen something from him I like.
The cover is dry and dull, despite its excessive use of color and effects.

I know Doja has an album coming; but the excitement, from me for her, has long passed.

 

[Yasouss]

should've just hired drag queens to do a drag queen job.

^This is embarrassing on so many levels. They should have called Jacobs, she is much better at copying Bourdin.

 

[MModa]

I love the Chanel jewelry editorial by Alvaro Beamud Cortés. Klaumann looks stunning and the execution is very good in my opinion. I see absolutely no flaws. Jacobs is not needed at all.

 

[Simera]

Are they serious with this magazine?

V was always on the cheap side. It was pop fashion— and reflective of its time. And we’re not in such good times these days.

Just that back then— at least in the early 2010s, they had the advantage of the high profile photographers still being in their top form; stronger models and stronger stars as subjects; and strongest fashions. I remember V specifically since that was when I started out working, and the indie designers I worked with were featured in their stories. Out of professional courtesy, I’d pick up V just to be familiar with these designers’ work. But even back then, I would think it’s all a tad cheap and tacky. It was never a personal fav. And back then— I&V or Steven Klein were still good. That was then and this is now, and I&V and Steven Klein are total hacks, unfortunately.

V isn’t for people like us. This is for the next generation that’s weened on the cheapness, crassness of Drag Race/Kim K/Harris Reed and the quick turnover of social. And it all makes sense why V is so reliably and now proudly, cheap. (More offensive than the cheapness, that blatant Bourdin ripoff without adding anything new of the Alvaro story looks like a bunch of test shots. Peak laziness.)
