That's Meisel at his best and Karlie.. at her best. Striking is the word. And Carlyn Cerf de Dudzeele's styling is simply fabulous!
Hope the othe eds are great too.
OMG the ed is so fresh! What a great way to close 2011!! Its breathtaking (reallly the sence of the word) and so Meisel! Its cool to see a new editorial with the model´s name!
It's very 60s Penn in some shots - one where she takes on of those horse leaps I swear I have seen Verushka do - and in some ways so 90s. He hasn't made it simple by taking down the resolution - an obvious way to channel the 60s - but instead worked very hard on the poses, mimicry and general vibe. Really well done.
And Karlie is obviously a supermodel after this (and VS).
I like Karlie and I keep giving this cover story another look, but I continue to find it laughable. I wonder if it's because we've been so long deprived of the sight of hearty bodies in fashion magazines that we'll now accept any photoshopped shadow as being representative of strength, any contortion as a sign of curves.
People have no idea how much I would welcome the return of stronger physiques in modelling, and for me, Karlie is a sensation, a fantastic model. But this pastiche? Don't serve me tofu and tell me it's steak.
don't like the cover and some of her ed shots are icky! this has to be my least favourite VI cover of the year it would come bottom of the list or therabouts.
