Vogue Australia June 2022 : Austin Butler & Olivia DeJonge by Lachlan Bailey

Christ on a cracker!!! WTF is this?
 
What in the Anna Dello Russo is going on in here on this day? :ninja: The Lachlan Bailey portrait is actually quite lovely, love the lighting. Even the extra tacky art direction makes sense considering it's Elvis themed - I'm not gonna lie, I find it kinda fun. It doesn't seem pretentious or serious, it's camp and it's fearless and I guess I respect that.

Nevertheless, I gotta note that it's also damn ugly.
 
Are this year a long aprils fool?
 
Hilarious. Looks like some Australian interpretation of Fendace or something. So cheap and nasty. And that creative direction with the bling bling LOL.

Olivia de Jonge is such a beautiful girl, what did they do to her here?! She looked better in the candid images at the MET Gala than she does here. Confusing.


Olivia de Jonge
 
Emanuele Farneti's impact.
Glenda, Farneti, Tronchu...
I would like to see this printed, love the effect (I don't remember the english words for that, lol, help me). I don't hate it.

(Why Elvis is blonde?)

If you take away the stupid diamonds of the border the image and logo and layout is actually interesting.
I'm also trying to imagine that the team wanted to celebrate Elvis' iconic status and what he still means for many people across the globe.
I know it looks very cheap and campy and so not Vogue lol but I actually like the crazy-over the top concept.
I would take this over the ''new woke inclusivity'' or influencer covers or models not posing in normcore s*** covers under the new Vogue era of the past 5 years or the current cover of Vogue Russia ahaha which is bloody awful compared to this.
 
He is playing Elvis after all so I don't mind that they continued that theme for the cover. Las Vegas is well known for over the top tacky glamour. I just wish the photograph was brighter and warmer to match the other elements.

Exactly the photograph is a little moody for all that kind of shiny glamour, maybe they need to warm it up a little the temperature of the picture...or use a direct lighting, i don't know...that's the only thing that bothers me....
 
Correct. The concept does not match with their art direction. They should've just made it a pastel colored-cover with a rose-gold masthead if they wanted a foiled one.

That cover looks outdated as if Glenda and Farneti had a brainstorming session and came up with this tacky idea.
