Eeek all these stories look half baked. Especially the cover story.

is so hideous from styling to photography.

What the hell is going on with this franchise?

wow, the cover story is so shoooort. Looks promising. The guys looks so hot. Wish there was more with them.

Both red shots from the ‘cover story’ (red background and full look in red) would’ve made better covers.

I like the editorial though its too brief for that kind of concept. Its supposed to tell a story because of that cinematic vibe that it has.

People need to accept that this Vogue is a hollow, empty, abandoned, outlet-clearance-leftover of its former glorious Vogue Paris self. It’s the fashion magazine representation of the difference between the exuberance, opulence, energy and dream of Parisienne culture that was Carine’s and Emmanuelle’s— and the depressing, everyday mediocrity of the Paris suburbs that’s Eugenie’s French Vogue now is, to appeal to the commoners. (Le’s be real: It’s really Edward’s Vogue-- because it’s clear he’s controlling the narrative of French and Italian Vogues now.)

Malick’s coverstory has a few decent selects with the rest being competently shot imagery, but nothing transcends the slightest above generic, professional catalogue shots. And why the below select of Malika wasn’t the chosen cover instead of the desktop-publishing one that obscures her face with shadows that is, the stuff of amateur, mediocrity that ultimately has come to represent Eugenie’s taste and sensibility (of which is just an extension of Edward’s Vogue). Ultimately, despite its passable pagecount of 254 instead of its typical flyer 120 pagecount, it’s just all filler and not a single killer image in its midst— made even worse and insulting of how Vogues once was of the highest standard in creativity with the remembrance of the Linda x Meisel feature: Every shot spun a spell of pure high fashion storytelling goodness. …Meanwhile, every shot of this new fashion generation in this issue just reminds the reader of the average woman taking the crowded metro home in some generic suburb after a trip to the outlet mall. I suppose that’s who Vogue France is for. Eh.

I suspect Eugenie wants to be the "woke" queen. Feels quite off from her side. Karla Martinez does inclusion in a very creative and efortless way. Tronchu wants to fix the lack of representation of Carine and Alt (sadly, even their Vogues were superior), but quite fails because it doesn't look honest. Looks incredible forced from her.
