^^^ Good point, Benn.
With all these expansions— of which the ultimate goal is to make money (and secure a high standing for VA on the Vogue-brand parthenon), surely the addition of one or two associate editors to pick up the slack would be a wise move…? She absolutely has a great eye for layout and composition— or, at least knows to surround herself with competent art directors/graphic designers. And for that, VA has its place in my top 3 Vogues.
This is a… “nice” (enough) cover; I mean, it’s very pretty, soft, girly etc… Just too saccharin for my sensibilities— and too far removed from VA’s slick, sun-kissed aesthetic. My preferred direction for a softness is their cover with Kim K: I find her completely useless as a persona. But that was one gorgeous, brilliant branding of pointless celebrity that obviously, still remains memorable to me… For all the high fashion dreammaking and theatricality that I may be attracted to and appreciate, in the end, nothing is more sensual, attractive and timeless than a confident, effortless elegance of a fresh face, tussled hair, and non-fussy and non-precious approach to high fashion. And VA at its best, really captures that brand of spirit so well.
