Vogue Czechoslovakia September 2023 : Alyda Grace, Amanda Murphy & Abbey Lee

Abbey's cover is stunning. I'm not sure what all the 3 have to do with each other, or why even a country like Czechoslovakia needs 3 separate covers.
 
Ok, this is done by the new team...i like the first two covers...
 
None of these are "THE SEPTEMBER ISSUE" worthy...
 
What worries me the most is this "collaboration" word. I'm afraid this is the beginning of shared content between the EasternEuropean editions of Vogue.

"The most anticipated issue of the year brings a new era dedicated to collaboration. The second cover portrays how we envision American Vogue's contemporary roots with an emphasis on its rich cultural mosaic. We teamed up with Photographer and Editor-in-chief of VOGUE Poland Ina Lekiewicz Levy (@inalekiewiczlevy) to create an editorial in New Orleans, featuring model Amanda Murphy (@amandajeanmurphy) posing in front of her lens. The city's largest cathedral, built by an architect with Moravian roots Benjamin Latrobe, was also one of the stops on our American journey."

As for the covers... I don't know which one I would choose. Probably the first one, very Paolo Roversi. None grabs my heart, I was expecting a big star...

Unfortunatelly its coming: the reprints

Czechoslovakia is not a country (anymore).

I also like Abbey's cover the most.

Abbey Lee is unrecognizable! And the only one worthy of a cover. It’s a very Basic Instinct Sharon Stone pose— just flipped Sharon's all-white Calvin Klein look to this all-black Gucci. Very clever. And from those Morelli Bros… Who’d have thought LOL
 
I seriously thought, 'who's Abbey Lee?' She looks amazing here as does Alyda!
 
Amanda’s shoot could have been strong. It has that brand of old buildings in an old town in a history-rich setting, seeped in rural melancholic and haunting tones. It’s the ideal casting and setting where the greater talents of Meisel, Mert & Marcus and Annemarieke van Drimmelen would have produced a cinematic, Hitchcockian story. There’s an attempt here, but except for the shot of her on top of the stairs, the lack of storytelling experience and art direction is painfully obvious. Poor Amanda can only do so much, although she looks great.

Abbey's is even more disappointing. This sort of stand a model against a white seamless with no direction may as well just stand a coat rail and be done with it. If that’s the best of the shoot, that cover select is a godsend.
 
amanda looks bored and kinda out of place
 
whats up with this lazy & bored attitude that fashion loves when it comes to editorials? What happened to the theatrics and working the camera???
