Is she on fire? Is she ascending to another dimension? The pose would be weird even without the photoshop.

 

[kokobombon]

She doesn´t look good imo, neither the styling or filter... awful all around.

 

[slayage]

Where is their June cover?

 

[phungnam96]

So weird...

Is she on fire? Is she ascending to another dimension? The pose would be weird even without the photoshop.

ahahahahaha you nailed it ! What the HELL is this???? I agree, even if you take away that bloody awful pink filter: who did her hair??? She looks like a witch on Halloween or as you said ascending to another dimension ahahahha .

 

[Benn98]

This is quite disappointing, everything really. Layout, image, and that corny pose.
And it will probably be a dual month issue.

 

[MON]

Vogue Australia has transformed itself to one of the most pretentious editions out there.

 

[crmsn]

No, I don't BELIEVE them that this is the official cover. It's just so bad.

According to dailymail.co.uk, "The 51-year-old actress has been painted by Archibald Prize-winning Sydney artist Fiona Lowry for the magazine's July release". So, this is a painting, guys, not some random PS filter or something!

oh good to know! awful painting then

 

[Armani]

Is the cover this low in photo quality or is the painting really that misty? I can barely make out what's going on. Not surprised at how much of a gradient there is between Cate's painted face and the "Vogue" masthead. This is the best quality I've seen the cover in thus far (second photo is with the painter) :

Why would you paint someone to look as if their face is freshly Botoxed? Anyway, art is subjective but I'm amazed that Edwina approved this.

Gemma would've done a better job!

 

[aracic]

Well that was a massive choice... Terrible cover. I don't even care to elaborate, it's just plain ugly!

 

[MDNA]

Not her painting Cate into an old hag.

 

[dior_couture1245]

Women supporting other women.

 

[honeycombchild]

I like the concept of employing an artist for a cover that can’t be shot, but unfortunately I don’t like the outcome at all. It certainly pales in comparison to the spectacular covers of Cate that David Downton a few years back. Those illustrations were beautiful.

 

[caioherrero]

Edwina is so lost. She thinks she’s a God. This magazine is bullsh*t. Centenera is the worst.

 

[jal718]

Horrible

 

[Avonlea]

I find it pointless. If you are doing an illustration for a cover its better to go with stylized anatomy/graphic style as opposed to realism. It always ends up looking like a badly edited photo.
