Vogue Brazil November 2014 : Amanda Wellsh & Aline Weber by Giampaolo Sgura

as far as visual immediacy and impact the covers are flops imo.

the first looks like outtakes from a Roxy advert.
the second the blurred foliage in the background is more intruiging than the models.

both suffer from models groupings akin to amorphous blobs lacking a strong shape or distinctive silhouette especially from afar on the newsstand.

A more successful Brazilian theme and model duo each maintaining distinctive silhouettes and looks with a more dynamic energy.

Love both covers. But the first cover really catches my eyes. Aline looks really great. Very different, indeed.

Thanks for posting the VP cover Ellastica, I was trying to recall this, but couldn't. It's certainly a prime example of an effective multi cover. Here each girl adopts a unique silhouette which stands out and the styling was on point.

While both VB covers boasts with good shots, my only gripe with the second one is that they look very similar. Why book two different models and style them almost identical? Anyway, I think the second one will stand out more on newsstands.

Best mutiple girl cover so far this year. Aline is one of the most magical models in the industry. Amanda looks really gorgeous to me as well.

the cover images are fine just need some fine-tuning with a bend of an elbow or tilt of the head, which would've made a huge difference.

I agree Benn, the black on black dresses was not the best choice. ironically by decreasing the image contrast the two girls would've stood apart and less like conjoined twins.

again this Testino ed illustrates how even with similar silhouettes breaking up the models with different colors creates more visual contrast and harmony.

I'm constantly amazed as an aspiring graphic designer this lack of visual acuity plaguing mainstream magazines, which it seems i took for granted in 90s magazines.

Even basic journalism skills and practices such as spell checking and verifying the identity of subjects, appears to be a thing of the past, if recent glaring front page newspaper grammar typos are any indication.

Love the 90s vibe the 2nd cover has. No pretense and over-the-top styling going on in there, just a clean and beautiful photograph that works very well.

It seams so.

However, VERY strong issue in my opinion - every ed/photo-story is a sort of masterpiece.

 

[Oxymore]

Yes, the eds are really nice. I love RIO BOÊMIO!

 

[kokobombon]

It's nice to see Sgura shooting all these different styles
My favorite is Rio Futurista cause I'm a sucker for architectural editorials...
