I think Lorde is the only person that Vogue Australia is doing justice. Every time she’s on their cover, she looks better and better.

I like the cover and the editorial!

 

[Avonlea]

She always looks miserable

 

[JPineapple]

I like it! Very on her brand. The close up cover is my fave

 

[crmsn]

They finally got rid of that hideous italicized font.

These covers are decent.

 

[Bertrando3]

I hate all 3 covers, she looks sad, tired, unhappy and uninterested. The entire editorial is also very gloomy. It's like: are you really talking to readers with such pictures and boring covers??

 

[oaklee91]

It’s alright. If she looks down, well, I think that’s always been her thing, what she is known for

 

[WAVES]

2nd cover is okish.... but God the editorial!!! such shi*tty, terrible, pictures! and the styling.... don't get me started. delete it all and redo it.

poor Lorde.

 

[fenty]

This just made me realize how important fonts are

 

[callmejaeden]

Looked at the issue today, and the magazine has been redesigned, dropping the ugly italicised font and the leftover fonts from the McCann era. It is very minimalistic, and even though I'm not a fan of Centenera's Vogue, this new direction suits the editorials that she produces.

 

[mepps]

I've never understood her appeal. Ever.

 

[MModa]

I do like the baby blue color on the cover's masthead and typography (third cover). It works well with the colors in the photograph. My favorite shot in the editorial is Lorde in Prada.

The new layout is to celebrate, looks like a different magazine in a good way. New art director?

 

[Phuel]

^^^ No. Same mids ripping off older issues of late-80s Interview and mid-2000s VMan— just that they’ve added Hedi’s publication contributions circa 2007 to their rip-off art direction. This Vogue is professionally produced, but it’s all just so bland. The page layout through the issue is still that nondescript, generic airline magazine aesthetic, with the sole fashion advertorial looking exactly like what's found in an airline magazine and a department store catalogue I’d worked on ten years ago. Australia's only claim over us nobodies' works are the starpower of the celebs and the bluechip brands.

I've never understood her appeal. Ever.

Musically? Her debut and sophomore albums are really good, if you haven’t checked them out already, mepps. The others are unlistenable generic new age pop veering towards caricature to my ears. Even her voice is generic nowadays, sadly.

Vogue Australia July 2025

Whenever I see Lorde, I think pre-op Kylie Jenner. No shade, I am just saying.
The covers have a certain allure to them, I like the muted tones.

 

[onlooker]

The new layout is nothing special but it looks clean. Almost like late 90s Vogue Paris.

 

[vogue28]

It all just appears so gloomy, hazy, and depressing. Vogue Australia always used to spark joy, and now it just sparks... sadness and depression. The colouring and lighting from Daniel Jackson's photography here is awful, almost like he's attempting to impersonate David Sims.
