Vogue Italia December 2011 : Karlie Kloss by Steven Meisel

[Alien Sex Friend]

i just hate when she does whatever she does with her mouth; it looks so forceful.

the editorial supposed to look sexy, so she pouts her thin lips almost in duckface. She looks so tensed, i am not seeing any trace of effortlessness, and her small pouty mouth- urgh. she is looking very discombobulated and uncomfortable (maybe because of the nudity)

Karlie's face is kinda killing this cover for me. Would have liked to have seen her head maybe tilted up with a slight angle. The pout is just far too obvious for me to appreciate this cover.

I LOVE her editorial!
Her body is truely incredible!

Simply stunning. Karlie's body is just insane! Especially her abs which are, in own opinion, perfectly toned. Although I am a little bit of shocked as well to see her nude in some shots 'cause I never expected her to do a full nudity, I still find it beautiful. The last shot with that hat (Am I right?) is just too fierce. Oh man, I'd kill to have legs like that. I'm gonna miss the sweet girl next door Karlie. What a perfect way indeed for VI to close the year.

The Vogue Beauty editorial with Codie is amazing as well. It's too short though.

She looks amazing on the cover! Not a huge Karlie fan but that face nailed it.

 

[balmain1914]

she is kind of impulsive to me,
doing vs shows, posing nude for vogue italia,
maybe next vogue paris regular?

she is trying to expand her edge, losing dior is not good, even john galliano is no more there...

will OSDL renew contract with karlie?

 

[Tacita]

Karlie's editorial is flawless, I love everything about it!
Is there any review from the issue?

 

[iriswills]

hoo boy... Karlie was my favorite model but yeah... I'm not comfortable seeing the art or beauty in those shots. I guess everyone idealizes their favorite era of fashion but it sucks to be so turned off by what I'm seeing. I'll put myself out to pasture... XD!

 

[Akashisko]

I don't think she lost Dior, she is still the face of their make up campaign...I don't know whether she will renew the contract with ODLR but she definitely is the face of ETRO and JPG this season (these are confirmed). I think she just wants to show all her sides and her versatility. She can pose nude as well as in a black wig and couture gown!

However, the issue is a must buy, I wonder how the other eds will be.

Vogue Italia just pulled this photo off their website

I think that Karlie's ed is not THAT MUCH photoshopped, she has good abs here, backstage at Anthony Vaccarello, that was few months ago:

Thanks for pointing that out and for posting the pictures Akashisko! Of course it's photoshopped a bit, but Karlie IS very muscular!

I really like the ed and the cover!

 

[mistress_f]

is the issue out yet? it didn't mention the italian release on the site. i'll see if i can find it later and if i do, i'll post a review

 

[jmrmartinho]

@peple saying its not her abs...look at the backstage photos and tell me where is the body photoshop

It was out yesterday in Milan so it must be out today in the entire Italy.

 

[michaelnoel]

Still so weird seeing Karlie in an ed like this. I just keep thinking back to her old teen vogue days.
But she looks great and her body is amazing!
Also love Codie's ed, so beautiful

The sight of that shoot in action certainly goes some way to convincing me that those muscles are the real thing... I never trust what I see in pictures any more, fashion magazines seem to be full of people photoshopped together from composite body parts, so my first thought isn't to give Karlie credit for all those hours she spent in the gym.

 

[Alien Sex Friend]

^she s an ex- ballet dancer, so that`s all hers, naturally

 

[Mr-Dale]

Love how that backstage video confirms that there is no photoshop used to enhance her body and the weird angles Karlie makes with it. She really is in control of her body and this entire shoot is set up as an exploration of that fact and succeeds at it gloriously.

this is my main problem with this cover. all I see is trout pout.
Kind of like when people used to do those ridiculous poses for facebook or myspace for what they think is sexy

one thing Karlie def has that is in her favor is posing and control of her body. I've never thought of Gisele as curvy, she has boobs, but no hips - BUT she knows how to pose her body to create the illusion. and karlie definitely has that.

I'm more interested to see what the other content is for this month
