Agree. ...But curbing your standards in these dire fashion times make this a tolerable effort: We’re not in Franca’s Vogue anymore. It’s a decent shoot and editorial: Rich textures, solid lighting, and decent styling, and passably interesting compositions that produces a tepidly charming lazy-summer-weekend-at-the-cottage story. By no means is it a memorable shoot, but there’s effort by her and Ethan and the team to offer something beyond an InsatGallery. And sadly and hilariously, that’s actually an above and beyond of an effort for Vogues these days. The cover select unfortunately, is the epitome of derp.
(BTW, it’s depressing to see what Italian Vogue has become. Haven’t looked at it a while and that makes the reality even sadder at its current state; it’s no longer this celebratory, vibrant, joyful, and eclectic ode to high fashion and high design of yesteryear. It’s a timid, polite, consumer rag that’s tediously reminding and lecturing to the reader how inclusive it is-- while peddling offensively overpriced merch. Even Emanuel’s Vogue had a semblance of high fashion backbone compared to this local community 156pg pamphlet.)
