Vogue Italia May 2019 : Anok Yai by Steven Klein

[GivenchyHomme]

I’ve never seen a model outshined by a dog. That’s a first!

Anok Yikes in print

Poor dog, that isn't comfortable at all. It's chocking him.

 

[tjasmine]

Wow, not a fan.

 

[Style Savvy]

Anok is stunning in person but very dull in print. That facial expression is very vacant. This would've worked with a model with better skills. Great for her finally landing a huge cover though.

 

[miyawaki]

What? I hate that, mostly by the way the dog is exposed. Poor Anok, she's deserves much better. I think Klein's job so repetitive. A big no for me.

Nearly every other photo in Anok's editorial is going to make a better cover imo

I've always been very patient with VI, 'cause I thought they needed more time to establish a new identity, but I think it's time to stop. They really don't know how to choose a good cover! Look at this, the theme can be interesting, on time for its campy style and the editorial it's also interesting (I like Klein style) but the cover they've chosen is difficult to look and her face is not catching my attention. I'll never stop saying that this magazine need a real direction, someone with a strong vision of fashion.

The problem with Giovanni is that he has good ideas but he chooses the wrong photographers. Most of his best work is for campaigns and not for magazines!

Is the new guy gonna be any better though?

 

[Perickles]

I really love this cover.

 

[Perickles]

It looks like one of those swingers parties held at posh houses where bored people with too much money get to indulge in things like peeing on each other in paddling pools and having sex with pedigree dogs.

Gee you really have a huge imagination

 

[tigerrouge]

Dog genitalia is never a good look on the front of a fashion magazine, although I suppose it is an unexplored area for designer pet accessories.

And if these crazy rich people parties are happening where I am - and I live on the edge of the known universe - you can be sure they're happening in places where there's even more money and even fewer constraints. No imagination required. Just a doorman who makes sure all guests who step through the door aren't in possession of any device to record what goes on.

I'm a Klein's big fan but this one just fell flat for me. Maybe different model can make it work, but just not Anok

 

[AFWQ]

Not him, Giovanni Bianco

I loved the shade on his post on IG.

I love love love love love the dogs comments! ahah
And he even looks better than on her! ahahahah

I'ts just tragic. Very tragic. Sad this was their choice his last work the magazine.
I am not a fan of Anok in any way as a model. So I am not surprised.

Maybe different model can make it work, but just not Anok

The best imo is her work for Estee Lauder, and maybe that Vogue Korea cover. What baffles me is that she's getting all these big jobs such as Prada, Gan, being a Patti Wilson favourite, and this is not even counting whatever else will come her way because of the EL job. Yet her expression stays the same in nearly every shoot.
