Vogue Italia June 2012 : Isabella Rossellini by Steven Meisel

[Not Plain Jane]

Awww, what a beautiful, timeless face: it's nice to see Isabella on the cover.

 

[MyNameIs]

I don't mind Isabella on the cover, but it looks so dated. When I first saw a picture of it on ontd, I thought it was a cover from the 80s. The colors are very unappealing with all those pink/orange hues.

don't ask me how I got a copy today

The casting for this issue is so out of left-field, I love it.

 

[jmrmartinho]

there you go Karl Templer

 

[Rotex]

Wow Jourdan Dunn in a 17 page editorial I can't wait to see this!

 

[VelvetButterfly]

it looks a bit weird for a cover. i'm looking forward to seeing the contents though!

 

[Naen]

This issue seems reassuring, weird cover aside though.

I'm totally in love with this cover. Isabella looks stunning and I think the cover is a classic. Can't wait for the main editorial. Such a great model cast can do no wrong.

 

[jeffandtheworld]

Now the cover looks dated and old with the theme and the model. It's too much.

I mean the fact that she is kinda old (but still beautiful) and properly also was famous in the 90s - doing the vintage 90s theme is a very idea, using a young model/actress would be nicer. Understandable. I thought this was a 1992s cover to be honest

Without Edward, Vogue Italia is kinda boring.

 

[parkereloise]

yes it is Karl, I'm sure the edit will make up for [fingers crossed] the cover which albeit isn't my cup of T but it isn't as horrible as it could possibly be. VI was just better in the Past. each issue I hope for a knock your socks off cover, am let down, but pleased by the content... I'm enjoying the casting as well. hello jourdan!

 

[Fashionable Bird]

Hmm even though i respect Meisel this is not a cover of his calibre, maybe worst of the year even though the model seems to be feeling good.

The editorial might be good though but cover seems like a vintage.

 

[Breathless]

The funny thing about it is that her 1990 cover is miles ahead of this one.

 

[Melancholybaby]

After looking at the cover long enough I finally pinpointed what's bothering me...sans the Vogue logo it would like one of these embarassing self-help books you can get for 5 dollars. The cast for the main ed sounds good though, but I'm not holding my breath...

 

[testinofan]

The review souns so boring

 

[Abracadabra]

Thanks for the review tentalicious, I'm looking forward to seeing some of the content. As for the cover, it's so bad that I'd rather have seen a reprint. I could never like it, one of the worst VI covers I've seen.

 

[tentalicious]

^will snap the eds tomorrow.

 

[fashionmypassion]

oops

lol

 

[SHLinn]

I don't know why everyones panties are in a twist over this. It may not be the best Vogue It cover, not even close, but it is something unexpected and different, which takes a lot of guts. It is also one of the only covers from all of the Vogue's "health" issues that features a healthy, relatable, realistic woman.

 

[gossiping]

yeah unexpected but it doesn't look good thats my problem. i have nothing against experimentation just make it..good
