Totally loved that comment!
Iris really does resemble her!

 

[helmut.newton]

The cover is awesome! Finally, a Vogue Italia cover with an edge!

My only problem is Kristen. Sure she was a great model, but must be constantly celebrate the brilliance of these past models? I don't know about you, but personally, I feel like we should celebrate models of today and of the future. Fashion is after all about looking forward!

okay, i just can't get over with the cover that's why i took a glimpse of it again. i just love it! very powerful cover with a very powerful-looking model.

I dont think we'll see the end of the supers until they literally start to wrinkle and peel.
But who knows the indutry may have Age issues every month just for them.

But I totally agree. Let's start establishing some NEW supers. Make THEM known.
Lets look forward people, but the cover is still HOT TO DEATH!

vogue italia can do no wrong when it comes to covers!

 

[XavierRaphael]

^Uhh, have you seen the covers after JANUARY?!

 

[thiago:)]

I really like the image and appreciate the fact that she's on the cover... But it's overairbrushed and I hate the colors of the fonts... Exactly the same ones of Sasha's cover... Style & personality, so random...

Oh come on, you make it sound like Meisel has been using only Supers this year. If anything, like Spiral1532 said; VI has become a publicity vehicle for upcoming models, no one can accuse Meisel of not looking "forward" and giving a chance to the young models!

Models like McMenamy have earned their place at the table, and should be aknowledged imo, why does it matter though? If the results are good, i dont get why that should even be brought up.

beautiful cover! in a few more years will Vogue Paris does another version with Iris Strubegger? hee hee hee!

LMAO! Good reference to Iris' recent VP cover (which was quite similar to Kristen's VI cover from 1992). You rock! Thanks for the laugh.

 

[Karen0193]

^I do hope thats never happends with Iris again, god please!
I'm really happy with this cover, to me this and Sasha Pivovarova's cover in may are the best VI's covers so far. I'm glad to see Kristin McMenamy, because I think she is truly talented and pretty. The cover itself its really pretty, although, I dont like the hair.

 

[pajonk]

I can't wait when I see edytorials
I hope inside is JAC

 

[mikel]

^A review was already given. Jac is not in it unfortunately

 

[vogue28]

^I must have missed the review

 

[surrealseven]

^ The review was given but wasnt a detailed review, BLACKLAB just wrote what he could remember off his head

 

[tocceve]

Not sure if is complete but BLACKLAB said:

Kristen McMenamy by Steven Meisel
Sasha Pivovarova & Milla Jovovich by Ellen von Umwerth
Reprints of some supermodel pictures by Mario Sorrenti

I came to the conclusion that I belong to the few who don't really like it. I will not buy it and regarding new faces, the next issue will have some fresh blood inside.

pajonk: Jac, Karlie Kloss and Lindsey Wixson were shot by Meisel for the October issue of Vogue Italia youarearockstar pointed out in Lindsey's thread. Only 3 more months to wait, yay!
