Vogue Italia February 2012 : Laura Kampman by Steven Meisel

[Nepenthes]

I quite like this!

I like the close-up and pose but hate the gloves, it looks amateur and catwoman-like. Meisel should have decided on either a black and white shot or a full on color because having both displayed like this makes it look cheap

it's Laura Kampman!!! it's Laura!!

Unpredictable, but i am not crazy about it.

Vogue Italia covers just don't excite me that much anymore lately. This is certainly a very nice and elegant cover but there's nothing that makes me want to look at it over again. Forgettable face, boring execution of an interesting concept. Even if this one is meant to be pictorial and static I still wish there would be a tad bit of emotion or attitude coming from a Vogue Italia cover. Out of the covers of the past few months Karlie's was the only one that achieved that. I'm not usually one to say Meisel has run out of ideas or has lost his edge (and I don't actually think that anyway) but I cannot help but feel that in recent months everything else in the magazine was more exciting than Meisel's covers or main editorials.

I think this is nice. The Catwoman-esque gloves like adds an interesting taste to the overall appeal of the cover.

The model somehow looks like Daria Strokous as well. But, is it really Laura Kampman?

 

[helmut.newton]

Its Laura for sure! She is on a Meisel exclusive I think and a Vogue Italia shooting was mentioned somewhere in her thread.

I love this! Simple but directional. What is she wearing?

 

[Fatalefashion]

Real - I like and want have this magazine.

 

[Jelavender]

Daria again? Anyhow I love what I am seeing, except for the gloves.

 

[Abracadabra]

I'm on the fence with this one, it looks a bit cheap because of the effect used.

 

[mikel]

I'm excited by the fact that this seems to be a studio shoot.

I like the cat gloves.

 

[visualoptimism]

it seems that bonaelamour thinks it's daria! don't know whether it's for sure or not...

Well, it could be Daria. That trend of using the same girl issue after issue isn't new at all. Hope the main editorial isn't an OG one.

It's Laura Kampman! She got this photo as her profile pic!!!!!

the cover is very nice! congrats! this explains her jump on mdc!
never thought she could look this soft..

 

[visualoptimism]

speculation ends..

There you have it, Laura Kampman's agent just confirmed it's her and not Daria...
