Dear Karen... Your history of covers for Vogue Italia was PERFECT! You should have stopped while there was still time.

This Chanel look is horrible!

...I'm just as bewildered as those two onlookers are in the back over this! What a truly dreadful, unattractive, pedestrian and insipid cover.

Christ on a cracker! Karen Elson and Vogue Italia used to be a match made in heaven. what has this magazine become?
atrocious cover.

This is a crime! Jail for everyone involved!

Typical Martin Parr....awful.

Fashion keeps getting worse. It'd be comical if it weren't so tragic.

Like a poisonous animal, trying to warn everybody

Embarrassing...

I echo everyone in here. I had hopes and they were definitely not achieved. This is hoooorrible and she looks pregnant

 

[MModa]

This is definitely Elson's weakest Vogue Italia cover to date.

Replying to myself to say, yes, it's a variant of the opening image of the UK Vogue editorial, and all those in that thread who wished it could be the cover may consider themselves partially to blame for what we see today:

UK Vogue July 2024 : Mona Tougaard & Central Cee by Alasdair McLellan

I guess this new editor doesn’t have that many influential friends in higher places? Coz given Naomi’s upcoming exhibition at the V&A museum in London, I would’ve thought she will have another Vogue UK cover but perhaps even Naomi doesn’t want to be associated with this sorry new era of the...

If you look at the first shot, Karen is wearing the same outfit we see in this cover. But now without the British flag or Ylian Hua.
