Nope. It doesn't stand out for me. The 3 covers have been visually appealing and then we get this. well at least this one's a palette cleanser? But nope.

Happy to see Karen again. I'm not saying this one's hideous but it's not just a killer.

i was so excited when i read that karen was on the cover, then i clicked on the thread and... meh
it's a very distracting cover.

Always, black, always dark...Italian Vogue is one depressed lady, someone take her out for a walk, it's spring.
Also, I can barely notice it's Karen, could've been anyone.

 

[Miss Dalloway]

Lovely to see Karen, but i am simply not in a mood for "Fred&Ginger" kind of story, for gods sake its Spring!

 

[dcmaike]

It seems to be a bit out of time what I generally like but it looks kind of spooky in my opinion. I am curious about what is inside...

 

[Nepenthes]

Reading Karen's name got me extremely excited and this is slightly underwhelming. It's not horrible but I expected to see more of her gorgeous face. I'm guessing this is the job she went blonde for?

With all the 'shadow dancing', it's like Fred and Ginger in a Hitchcock film.

 

[lelaid]

It's kinda great I think. Of course, I will never, ever get tired of the token Karen Elson as an old Hollywood siren editorials.

 

[justaguy]

Glad Karen's on the cover, but don't really care for the theme here. Hopefully the edit will amazing.

 

[HelaFav5]

The cover is brilliant TBH.But personally ,it just has nothing to do with FASHION!

 

[KateTheGreatest]

Why are all on their covers so god damn dark? Spring has come, lighten up a little bit. Also excited to see Karen on the cover but it could be anyone else as well. I'd rather see a close up of her face.

 

[Nomar]

Love Karen Elson but don't love this. What a shame.

 

[alienobserver]

Fantastic.

 

[kuli_trendy]

Very cinematique picture. I like it

 

[gossiping]

give it up meisel...beyond bored of him, mario testino and tim walker. they are so stale.

 

[Mody]

Great images for a movie poster I don't think this is fashion mag cover material But I have good feelings about the content Prays for not the typical VI things again

 

[madzedre]

I was hopping for some pop of color, but I dont care it´s Karen.

 

[niknak]

give it up meisel...beyond bored of him, mario testino and tim walker. they are so stale.

I do think creativity becomes somewhat stagnant after 300+ issues, but I can totally see the repetition of dark/gloom on the past few issues. (October was the last solid VI cover that I likes.) Even though it's hard to go wrong with a Meisel-studio shoot, he needs to do more location. Would love to see a beach, water, trees, something other than solid background on the cover of VI. Karen Elson, on the other hand, will never bore me. I love her off-kilter beauty, and as someone said earlier, she does old-school glamour so well.

Number 16 for her no?

The guy is Zac Posen. And it's a terrible cover. VI is boring in 2015.
