the cover and Kristen edit is positively magnificent. she commands such presence. very few models have that same power.
Milla and Sasha together is perfection. neither of them are my favourites -- but they're unarguably incredible models. they emote and pose so naturally. both are pros. initially, i really thought that Sasha was just a Gemma replica and would have no staying power, but she's truly proving herself to be an icon of this moment in the largely fameless modeling business.
the supermodels edit is beautiful, as we would expect. they all look beautiful, even if they're essentially images that we've seen a trillion times before. Eva and Christy stand out to me. Eva especially has really grown as a model over the years, whereas i feel like alot of the "supers" hit their peak years and years ago and haven't really adapted to newer styles so well.
the paparazzi pics edit is a nice touch. VI seems to have a bit of a fascination with this phenomenon. it has crept up in various edits over the past few years. it's nice to see all the models - and to recognize that there were some models who truly did transcend the profession to become internationally recognized women. i don't think Natasha, Lily, Iris, Sasha, Toni, Siri, etc have hit that point yet (and probably won't ever, if only due to the world of celebrity now, as they're all fabulous in their modeling work). Eva, Elle, Claudia, Naomi, etc were all instant celebrities - as well as being highly desired models.
Unless of course you're in Italy this weekend, in that case go for it.
