For me, this is such a bad issue. Franca managed a few duds as well, but this guy doesn't even have 12 issues behind his palm! My problem isn't actually the direction (well, in a way it is), but it's that he's not separating the magazine for the rest. It's once again just one exceptionally dour edit after another. Where's the variety??

Harley's editorial is passable as a filler, but for a cover edit it's way too weak. I absolutely hate Hedi's photography, but I'd gladly have preferred one of his unnecessarily long Cali shots (maybe the opening shot of his story?).

Between this coup (being chosen over Hedi) and her work for Porter, she looks set to book more mainstream titles. And just as with I&V, they'll drench every ounce of creativity right out of her to appeal to the masses. I can already see that happening at Porter.

This is sad...

Uh I don't know. It's like they didn't have any budget left for (the super talented) Harley after giving it to Hedi to shoot some random stuff.

The magazine is losing its identity, that's for sure. This could pass as a Doingbird issue.

If only Weir had shot this outdoors... perhaps it was a budget thing but still, only 8 pages for the cover story? you compare this with his editorial in Vogue UK with Devon (18 pages) and this just looks cheap, drab, boring...

I really love Harley's edit. Reminds me of early Mario Sorrenti.

 

[Les_Sucettes]

Lara used to do a million of this type of eds for things like ID or Dazed when she was younger, nothing new and not even the best of it's kind.

 

[JaneCurtain]

I prefer the first cover, the colours are original. The green cover is quite bold, I still like it though

 

[thatsfierce]

I'm so tired of Lara. I mean, I adore her, but she doesn't delivers as she used to do, and she's everywhere. Give the girl a rest.
