The cover is bad by (American) V standards, even worse by Chinese magazine standards... Terrible start!

What a odd pair, but I'm so here for it! I love Troye, and I obviously love Cong, so this is a big YES for me!

 

[Toni Ahlgren]

The most interesting thing about the cover is the mention of Ai Tominaga. I wonder what she's up to, a comeback?

 

[caioherrero]

Not good

Could Troye look more bored? This would have been a much more impactful cover and story with just He.

LOL Disappointing is a tad of an understatement— more so for an inaugural issue’s coverstory with such a gorgeous pair. Debuting in China. And by Sorrenti.

All the coldness hint at the two being shot separately, and stitched together in post. The digital telltale signs are all there— even the shot with Troye laying on He Cong. When even a high-profile rag debuting in China is lacklustre and budget-conscious, it’s really telling what an awful state fashion rags are in. Just burn them all. ...Along the current state of Prada's hideous fashions.

The only power I see is the word.

The first cover story is very bland, only like the last photo. The second is fine with the Vogue China's style of recent days.

I mean it doesn't have to be stated but He Cong is modelling above and beyond in this.
