I think I can already see Rocco's vision for Vogue China based on the last 2 issues. It's going to be less experimental and ~artsy~ and more safe/elegant/commercial a la Angelica.

There is potential but the image should have been done in high contrast b&w and the lighting is just terrible.

I prefer boring Vogue China, tbh. Sue me.

 

[Nomar]

I really like this and it's the different expressions of these wonderful ladies who make it for me. So charming and very happy to see Zhao Tao.

The 'Skyline' editorial is great. A lot of the editorials are still artsy except the cover.

 

[philophile]

Would love to see these 'artsy' editorials.

A fashion Chinese mob? Love that

It's stale, lackluster, and most definitely not the best group-shot cover I've come across. However, I do like the styling and the selection of looks from Christian Dior... very elegant.

Unfortunately, it is nowhere close to Angelica’s best years of Vogue China. Rocco’s debut issue is extremely unimpressive, even disappointing and just so random, without a certain mood and tone that even Margaret was able to achieve at her best: It’s too a little of this and a little of that. And that sort of randomness is carried towards teh current issue as well. What he was capable of achieving at GQ China seems limited for Vogue China, maybe as a concerted effort to be less Chinese and more globally-generic and homogenized. If this is the trajectory for this rag, then it’s tragic that GQ China is gone while Vogue China exists. Angelica’s superior Vogue China mid-2000 days have yet to be challenged.
