Vogue Italia February 2011 : Candice Swanepoel by Steven Meisel

[helmut.newton]

Terrible. I hate the model choice, the styling, the photography; everything is positively awful. Whats more, nothing here is appealing or interesting or thought-provoking. Whats the point?

I miss the days of something a little more edgy and thought-provoking in Italian Vogue. Personally, I am growing tired to just fashion shoots with glamorous, classic models / styling. Its getting a little repetitive and boring to be honest.

NEXT!

I like Candice, but this cover is not very good. I mean, the image looks cheap and catalogue . They could have used her better imo. hopefully her ed inside won't look as cheap and tacky. Just because Candice is a VS model, it does not mean VI had to put her in something sexy, I would have loved to see a different side to her, something more edgy and hf. Many critique her for not being versatile enough, to be completely honest it is not her fault. It would be good if people in the industry gave her an opportunity to be edgy and HF, rather then just raunchy and sexy.

Well, I guess all this "VS models going high fashion" trend is now in Vogue Italia, they've always doing the covers/eds expressing the moment, for example, the twitter cover, the August 2010 cover and many more, I was waiting when VS girls would appear in VI, but I have feeling they're bit late? That's interesting that they gave cover to the not-so famous VS girl (I mean compared to Alessandra, Adriana...). I kind of like this cover only because it works for the concept, and looking forward to see main editorial, I think we'll see some VS girls inside.

Hate VS girls on Vogue, but I like this cover

BAD! Just bad: it looks like a shot from a catalog and not a good one: too much of everything: VS girl (just like Miranda's cover who at least was cute, this one is trashy), the worst styling ever on a HF magazine, wrong model: so sexy is the new "high fashion"? Rosy on UK Vogue at least looks great and fashion this, lol it's just plain.

I'm not a fan of the cover too. It could be tacky in a good way. But it's not the case. It looks tacky tacky. And it's boring.

 

[gossiping]

well..i love the jacket. but that's it.

The text should be 'bland and bright'...

Such a pretty girl, such a terrible cover.
Its too obvious to have have her half naked and sexy, would have preferred her to be a bit edgy, Experimental , masculine, etc so she could give more variety. Hope the Ed is better and not so cheap looking

So glamorous. The style featured in this story is exuberant, showy and sensual, laden with echoes of the early '90s with subliming make-up. Perfecting Cover Foundation, a light cream, lays the bases of a perfect complexion with a clear, natural look. On the cheeks: the velvety translucent touch of Blush Me!, pêche tendre. The indispensable, intense graphic detail of black Long Lasting Eye Liner underlines the eyes with extreme charm. Especially with the faux cils effect of Full Action black mascara. Nude lips with Cream Lip Stain, no. 5, for a very elegant matt look. All by Sephora. Crinkly leather jacket with metal zip; necklace, bracelets and rings all by Blumarine. Faraone Mennella earrings by RFMAS; panties by Eres.

Oribe hairstyle using Oribe Hair Care. Make-up by Pat McGrath. Manicure by Jin Soon Choi for Jin Soon Natural Hand & Foot Spa. Fashion editor Carlyne Cerf de Dudzeele.

The February issue of Vogue Italia will be in newsstand Thursday 3rd in Milan and worldwide in the following days

I like it. It's striking, bold, attention getting, pretty and above all, it doesn't seem as pretentious as VI and Meisel can be at times.

 

[eneroenero]

me encanta!

 

[ZFashionBlog]

Beautiful cover as usual.
Can't wait to see the editorials!

 

[alice]

I really hate the styling but Candice looks great.
Can't wait to see Ann's ed.

 

[rockangel]

a lot of negative comments.....well, that's not her fault. I also would preferred to see her in something more edgy. but actually, i like it...Candice works the styling and looks completely stunning!

this will completely change her carrer. Congrats Candice

 

[oh me]

She looks like Michaela McManus (the woman who plays Jules in The Vampire Diaries). That's all I can say

 

[anik]

Awful styling.She looks much older than she is.

 

[KKnardi]

I like it, I'm in the mood for gold, gold in everything!

 

[LabelWhore4]

I'm very disappointed in how this came out, this had so much potential in theory. I'm also annoyed that she's doing her signature T-Rex pose that she brings out in every. single. shoot..
