Vogue Italia January 2013 : Fei Fei Sun by Steven Meisel

[Wolkfolk]

The cover could've been more dazzling but honestly this is the best way to end 2012 and start 2013. I'm so happy for Fei Fei .
I love the backstage video, so much ease and elegance in this girl it's crazy. Looking forward to see the full ed and buy this issue that's for sure.

Just BEAUTIFUL!

 

[thiago:)]

The cover shot is definitely not my favorite one, but that girl is stunning. The video is quite charming as well, love the references.

 

[TianSoFine]

I'm so happy for her! She looks absolutely incredible. It's so obvious that she's a great model, especially from the behind the scenes caps.

 

[GERGIN]

It's the worst thing in the world when a figured model like Kate Upton is gracing VI but it's the best thing when you have a Chinese drag queen on VI?

 

[JesseDillon]

I think that if it wasn't Fei Fei people would be tearing the model apart for it being so boring.
Still though, congrats to Fei Fei. I'm just happy that it wasn't someone predictable.

 

[Greenway]

My mouth dropped when I saw the thread title, and hell shes working that hideous Chanel outfit which is next to the cover. Congrats Fei Fei

 

[Egoiste]

love it, love it, love it !! very nice start for 2013 !

 

[Srdjan]

I haven't seen a normal VI cover (like this one) for a long time. Great, I adore her.

I don't see anything drag-ish about this.
The large amount of make up only helps creating the character Fei Fei is portraying here, and I love it. Gorgeous cover.

 

[ChristyLeReveur]

Wow this is amazing, congrats to Fei Fei, this is huge

Couldn't recognise this girl is Asian at first though...As she does look like Bruna a lot at the first glance.

 

[justaguy]

What a beautiful and sophisticated cover! Very reminiscent of China Machado's work with Avedon & Harper's Bazaar. Fei Fei looks so stunning here, so very happy for her!

I don't see drag either. Yes, her make-up is quite heavy, but only a beautiful Asian woman I see. What would people rather it styled like, a US Vogue cover? That would be boring, so give me drag any day. (Well, not really any day.)

 

[MyNameIs]

YAY, good for her. At first glance I thought the hair/makeup was awful - and it probably is - but it kind of works for me, lol. The only thing I find strange is the decision to make it a foldout. Why?

The point i'm making is that everyone is giving this cover hype over the fact that an asian girl landed this, that's about it...I hope they decide to do less heavy make-up in the next 23 years when another asian can land an OG cover for VI. This cover doesn't even deliver, it's so bland...and I thought Meghan C's cover was awful...

Well, what are u looking at when u see a VI cover? Do you look at them with an artistic eye, or just with your perception of what 'pretty' is?? Amazing you say the cover doesn't deliver, but everyone else can immediately think of references, and feel that this is very modern. Sorry that u hate the cover so much.

 

[Northern Star]

Very stylish, very glamorous, very vintage.
Very nice cover.

I'm looking for a woman that doesn't look out like a drag queen gone retro I'm sorry you find women with overdone make-up so appealing

 

[tentalicious]

She was supposed to get a cover
earlier this year (2012), better late than never.
but personally, I don't like her... too pretty for my taste...
I am, by nature, a rather risk-averse guy,
and I would have liked to see Ming Xi,
Ji Hye Park (she did some test with Art + Commerce's team lately)
or why not Lee Hyun Yi since she has already worked with Meisel.

 

[KatJenahMckey]

Yes!! Oh God I'm absolutely thrilled!! I have been yearning for Fei Fei to get a VI cover for a loooooong time.

LOVE it. And she pulls this vintage, haughty look off so well. Congrats Fei Fei! You deserve it!!
