It just all looks so pedestrian and the editorial isn’t any better. I hate how ever since the inception of Tyler Mitchell, every photographer would now have a random, colorful backdrop in the midst of an entirely different milieu to drive home the point of “juxtaposition”.
never hated on Kendall but she has failed to commit seriously to her modelling career IMO and this is another example. I mean it’s not terrible but somehow lifeless and definitely pedestrian.
This and her last vogue Japan are both horrible covers stop sticking this girl on covers it just doesn’t work but Kendall has taught everybody one important lesson just because you are tall,thin,and pretty does not mean you are meant to model
2021 and no improvement for Kendall...still i prefer the white dress picture as a cover...it’s slightly better than the rest and i like the rose shadow on her... But seriously, there is no depth on her gaze, nada!
I actually like this aside from the general lack of expression from Kendall. I see people talking about Anna, she the editor of Vogue China at the moment?
Her best cover was definitely US Vogue April 2018. She looked pretty good there and the accompanying editorial was really nice, otherwise the rest of her work for the last six years (geez...) has been a no from me. She's doing her typical 'hot (but kind of bland) girl in high-school' thing here, and therefore I won't remember any of this tomorrow. The imagery offends me more for being a rip-off of Miciah Carter's recent shoot of Naomi Osaka in WSJ than Kendall's presence though.
She's tasked with finding a replacement for Angelica Cheung, so it's not a reach to assume she's also taking stock of the magazine throughout this transition period and making sure it doesn't go off the rails.
I've read a Chinese article saying Anna is taking charge during the transition, they say there's no time frame for how long will she's working for Vogue China before they found a suitable EIC. I hope they found one soon.
Presumably this was planned in the early fall at the latest and shot sometime around September/October, so wouldn’t Angelica still have been EIC at that point?
I doubt Angelica would commission Ortega, she's been keenly focused on promoting local talent. If January was her final issue she'd have no input in this.
