Vogue Italia April 2017 : Sara Grace Wallerstedt by Mert Alas & Marcus Piggott

I don´t like nor hate it, which I think it´s worse... this gets no reaction from me other than meh.
I wouldn´t even look at this twice in the newsstand. Even though it looks like a classic VI cover, it lacks that glamorous vibe that Meisel brings. Or even M&M used to bring when they didn´t copy so blatantly.

 

[Ed..]

I really want to see the main ed because I like the cover but not the foldout images at all.

just a fake steven meisel cover.

Saw this on instagram on a random page and seriously thought it was a fake cover made by some fans.
It's beautiful but not striking or inspiring or catchy

 

[Cute]

I like it! But like other have said, the green font wasn't the best choice. The fold out images also don't do much for me (as much as I'm a fan of Cara).

 

[TREVOFASHIONISTO]

Bland... I honestly feel more from last month's cover than this, and I didnt love that cover either. Mert & Marcus have lost their spark.

 

[Luxx]

Simple and elegant. Her beauty is the focal point and what a gorgeous face. Love the crystal eye makeup, just a nice touch.

Much prefer this over the March cover by Steven Meisel (and I'm a massive champion of Meisel x Vogue Italia). This quite reminds of Meisel's classic studio portraits actually, which is no doubt the reason why I love the look of this so much. I haven't a clue who the models involved are but Mert & Marcus done a fantastic job this time. Nice one!

 

[CrisGalaxy]

I like it! I thought most people here would like it too but I am wrong, lol.

 

[Nepenthes]

It's a strong, simple cover. Will it be remembered as iconic? No. But nevertheless a beautiful shot.

I love the first cover. I'm surprised by the outcome since it's M&M who shot it. They should take at least a two year break.

The fold out ruins it although Cara's shot is very, very powerful.

I really like this, this cover is very true to VI's identity. Happy for the 3 girls, they are all stunning... would love to see how the three images look together in the foldout.

 

[badgalcrush]

I might be the only one but...This cover reminds me a lot of Snejana's iconic VI cover by Meisel

 

[pivoslyakova]

Very beautiful, and much better than the last 3 covers but I do agree that they are very inspired by Meisel. The fold out is unnecessary like most of the time.

I love it...very simple but beautiful

 

[Vitamine W]

It's like a perfect recipe turning into an underwhelming dish. The girl is astoundingly beautiful, I like the lay out, colouring and overall composition, but the result leaves me dead cold.
I think its the eyes not selling anything to me. They're just there, beautifully matching the Headmast.

I expected Sara's cover to be by Meisel actually since she is a Brokaw girl and stuff but M&M apparently thought it might be best to emulate him as well or something. It screams Meisel. I'm with Anlabe32 here, these guys really need to take a break. And since I hated Meisel's last cover, I'm at a loss here with VI.

 

[GivenchyHomme]

Sara is beautiful and this cover is all about her. That's what Vogue Italia is, models and clothes. As long as they're done with those tacky themed issues I'm happy.

 

[mepps]

Beautiful cover! Such a massive improvement over that awful Meisel nonsense last month. So glad his days of dominating Vogue Italia are OVER.

 

[MON]

I have to give credit where it's due. I like this. So much better than that Youth issue.

However, the fact that this is being likened to a "classic Meisel cover" is worrisome. It's like since he's not available, let's emulate his work for the readers. I don't like that. I want to see a fresh vision. If it's Meisel, it's Meisel. If it's M&M, it's M&M. No crossovers.

Love it. Very late 90s!
