Received my subscription copy, the UK edition is 104 pages, and comes with the 96-page On Time watch supplement, which has Giles Deacon and Gwendoline Christie on the cover.
I have the last three issues in front of me, and there's a subtle redesign going on from one issue to the next, where they're not straying too far from the familiar elements, but they're playing with them. There are also visual hints of Graydon's VF - the reintroduction of red 'tabs' at the top of a page or to indicate a theme.
It's hard to talk about the actual content of VF. Firstly, we're not really supposed to discuss anything political, secondly, by the time you read the articles and form an opinion, everyone has moved on to newer magazines, and thirdly, that's not the type of content people come to tfs for anyway.
The Vanities person is Odessa Young... in addition to the cover story, there's an interview with Jeremy O Harris... revisiting the Buttafuoco case... how to re-stage the musical Chess... Lena Dunham talks about Judd Apatow... Emma Hemming talks about life with Bruce Willis... a look at The Dissident Club in Paris... then a piece about a 1983 book, Hit Man: A Technical Manual for Independent Contractors, and the 'until-now anonymous author'... the Proust Questionnaire is Luca Guadagnino.

In addition to the visual signs of a redesign - catching up on the actual written content of the past two issues, it feels like there's been a decision to decentre Trump, in that there are no direct articles about him, which is a departure from the constant focus under Graydon and Radhika.
You can't conclude much from the content of a few issues published during an interim period, but it will be interesting to see whether this continues, and what they do choose to focus on.
In this issue, that's mostly celebrity, entertainment, the arts, and true crime.

Is there a masthead page in this edition? Can you post it?
