The covershot is actually the best shot from that entire story. The story is really that awful (and obnoxious, insufferable, pretentious but hollow…)
The rest of the stories aren’t any better (Jackie Nickerson’s looks like a lookbook effort…) Everything just looks like those by-submission indie digital ‘zines that have been out there since 2010. Not that those are all awful— just that they’re clearly amateur, and produced by students still in art school still with much to learn. When a Vogue-- and not just any Vogue, but Vogue Italia, is ripping off this brand of amateur-aesthetic, it’s all so counterproductive and grinds the high fashion presentation to a dead halt: It's truly end of days for fashion magazines. What is the point of Vogue going faux-indie and charging for it, when the real thing is out there for free???? This issue is the perfect reason why magazines as we know it are dying…
(And the accompanying L”UOMO isn’t any better. It looks like those generic airline magazines.
Once the height of what high fashion vision is for men and women-- now resembles faux-indie desktop 'zine and any given airline rag... :sigh:...)
