[MON]

Wow, I'm liking what I'm seeing so far! From what I'm seeing, this is gearing to be a strong issue for VI!

 

[Oxymore]

This is what I call an Age Issue.

I'm not crazy about the cover, but I love what it stands for and the idea behind it - I love the whole intimacy of the main story, it's almost like the most intimate of portraits - the focus is on the women whilst still remaining a fashion story, they don't necessarily have to be naked in order to keep the focus on them.

The mix of women is fantastic, only Meisel could cast these women for VI - no one else could do such a stellar casting in such a varied age gap whilst still remaining credible and individual - I think that's something every publication needs to take note of, without being scared to take a creative risk.

Kaia looks just like Cindy, its crazy! Also, while i appreciate the variety of ages in the editorial, I can't help but to see the lack of diversity. I don't get how one can celebrate women of all ages, and feature Yasmine as the only woman of color

 

[congacon]

can't stand the cover concept. it's like amateur photographer trying to be creative.

 

[kokobombon]

I find the cover too cluttered but the editorial is stellar, such beautiful portraits

I wish we could have seen more Natassja Kinski in "Women of Today." One photo?

 

[narcyza]

Good to see Sasha and Meisel work.

While I'm not impressed with any of the covers, the main ed is simply stellar! What a lineup! And every shot is striking in it's own way. So glad to see the likes of Pat Cleveland, my Erin and China Machado!

Now my love for fashion magazines just resurfaced. I'm so, so glad that Meisel is back and, just like what was mentioned already by someone, this is how it's done.

The cover is everything. Yes the concept is nothing new and it feels like it was done several times before but the execution here is what it makes it exciting to look at. Plus the fact that it's the return of Meisel on the cover. But what I love here the most is the casting. It's superb! So happy to see Frankie, Yasmin and Erin back on his lens!

The main editorial just proved that this issue is indeed the return to form of Vogue Italia. Each and every shot is just so good. Nothing beats studio shoots by Meisel. Nuff said.

Franca knew she Vogue Italia will not be the same without Meisel So glad he's back!

[rubydon]

nice to see faces like karen alexander, kelly emberg and others. cheryl tiegs looks absolutely amazing. same for yasmin and pat.

 

[VogueGirl8910]

Amazing issue, the editorials are great. Glad to see many women on this issue.

 

[Fiercification]

Phenomenal edit by Meisel in this issue; Donna Jordan, Erin, Yasmin and Anna Cleveland look incredible. All it took was a month away and it's clear to see how much he was missed.

 

[GlamVal]

thank u Lord Mr. Meisel is Back

 

[MyNameIs]

I don't get it. Just a bunch of boring portraits to me.

It is. But it's ~Meisel~!

Lol @ the reaction here. I literally can't even.

 

[tigerrouge]

A great cast with a concept I can get into, an issue worth waiting for!
