Vogue Italia March 2011 : Saskia de Brauw by Steven Meisel

Wonderful cover for Saskia. I would've preferred if the font wasn't so glittery but still she looks great.

i love the styling and really like the picture, but i agree with thiago, the title didn't need patterns, it's a bit too much, especially with "dazzling" written in that font...

 

[LagerfeldBoy]

I'm just in love with this!
A million times better than her Vogue Paris cover.

Dazzling indeed! Great to see Saskia on this cover.

bravo bravo bravo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

As much as I was disappointed with Saskia's Vogue Paris cover at first. This actually gives me a whole other appreciation for the Vogue Paris cover. There's too much going on and I'm not fond of the masthead. I've learnt not to underestimate Meisel, so I'm optimistic about the editorial.

can't wait for the eds, most especially Ann Ward's

 

[justaguy]

"Dazzling" is right! What a gorgeous cover!!!

 

[Mr-Dale]

SO stunning...I don't give a crap about Ann Ward's ed, I wanna see the main ed

Because both the VP cover and this are out simultaneously, it's tough not to compare and as much as I applaud VP for trying something a little different with Saskia, it just didn't work for me. But, this is showing her to all her strengths and she looks incredible. Hell that glare could take you down.
The patterned fonts I could do without but other than that........superb.

This girl is clearly shaking up an industry that frankly needs a good shake every now and again, and I love the fact that she's 29, been around the block a bit, has very large breasts for a HF model and marches to the beat of her own drum. She really needs to 'live the dream' right now, if she ever had one.
If she turns out to be a flash in the pan, so be it, but I hope she sticks around for a while. In much anticipation of the editorial.

 

[Breathless]

i had no clue who this woman was before the VP cover but I am intrigued to learn more. And that cover is stunning!

 

[Shelton123]

This is great, I mean it's a little much but sometimes that can be a good thing! And in this case it is. The eds are going to be great, I can just feel it.

 

[holaloha]

i love the cover! Steven Meisel at his best!
whoever this girl on the cover is... i hope she knows how lucky she is to be on the cover of Vogue Paris and Vogue Italia... in the same month!!!! Wow!

 

[clocked]

i thought Ann would be on the cover...disappointed :/

 

[Paws]

"Dazzling" is right! What a gorgeous cover!!!

I agree - love the colours

 

[agee]

I want to like it but, I just can't bring myself yet to do such thing. I mean, yeah, it's so much better than her Vogue Paris cover. It's just that, there's something about the cover that makes me feel like I've seen it before. I don't even get the Vogue Italia/Steven Meisel vibe.

For me it channels Strubegger by Roversi on the cover of a Vogue Italia supplement (or an ed in Vogue Russia), not that there is anything wrong with that.

I love this cover! Great for Saskia, Vogue Paris and Vogue Italia in the same month. Arizona better watch...

 

[fiqary]

I really don't get Saskia. She is nothing unique. But this is a nice cover overall.

 

[blueorchid]

I don't really like or dislike this cover. I don't really have any reaction to it. I also felt this way about her Vogue Paris cover. Hopefully by the time I see these two in real life I'll have some sort of opinion on them. I can't decide if Saskia is to blame for my neutrality or Meisel/M&M are.

 

[KhaoticKharma]

I have no earthly idea who this girl is (I don't keep up with models until they score big time contracts, before then they are entirely too disposable), but it looks like she's having a great month... and, luckily for her, she doesn't look horrendous here like she does on the Vogue Paris cover. In fact, I think I quite like it.
