Vogue Italia October 2011 : Karen Elson by Steven Meisel

so happy to see Karen i think she's so eccentric in a good way

 

[Fiercification]

The cover is a little bland. Pretty but nothing too special. The main ed might be good though, I'm getting a Grey's Garden post-apocalypse feel.

Spectacular cover

I am in love with this cover! This is the kind of Vogue Italia I love. Karen looks beautiful and so far I excited to see the content of this magazine.

With Summer finally setting in here in North-Western Europe, I am so not ready for a Winter cover But it looks ok, nontheless. Karen looks a little vacant and the hand looks weirdly placed. But the preview of the ed looks excellent!

The preview of the Meisel edit looks so great! Glad that also Guinevere and Kirsten are in it.

I couldn't be more pleased with this cover. It's truly beautiful. I honestly do not care if this has been done already in the past or whatsoever. The fact that Karen is on the cover again for like 2 years now is such a relief. At least that's what I think. So happy to know that Meisel is still inspired to shoot Karen on a cover. Although I can't help myself but to feel a little bit bad about the typeface that they used for the main text. It looks so amateur-ish.

And after seeing the preview of what the main editorial would be like, oh my God, I just couldn't take myself from the excitement! It really, really looks promising. Plus there's Guinevere and Kirsten f***ing Owen! I'm sold now.

Classic VI cover! Very textured and styled beautifully. Karen looks stunning and the editorial doesn't look like it's going to disappoint! Thrilled with the casting!

 

[kasper!]

Cordula Reyer is one of them

Best news from VI this year..

I love the cover! Karen looks absolutely perfect! The ed seems to be great as well. I'm thrilled to see Cordula Reyer back to business and the model cast is altogether great.

 

[MyNameIs]

The cover is not very flashy or loud but I like it a lot. Karen looks so gorgeous and I love the muted colors for a fall issue. Plus, I feel VI does best when it goes for a more classic look rather than something 'edgy' because I don't think their 'edgy' covers work at all.

The only thing I dislike is that font, which looks very amateurish.

 

[Zephons]

I love it!
I have been reviewing what Karen did in the 15 years of her career these days, and I am so amazed by her huge tranformation.

 

[FashinKid90]

Love the cover!..although I wish it were a little bit more dramatic

 

[Ives927]

I wish Karen wasn't so done up with the make up and hair. Considering they're going for a Nomadic Look, it would have been better if she was styled like Kirsten and Guinevere, more plain and undone.

Some will say that this is too simple or not risky at all, but IMO this is so fantastic. First of all Karen is back with Meisel and this duo never go wrong. Plus the first pic from the main edd with Guinevere and Kristen looks sooo promissing. Reminds me of old good Meisel's work. I was missing this kind of emotions in his recent works. Can wait to see more. This edd proves that Meisel has many great stories to tell.

[GlamorousBoy]

wonderful

 

[vogue28]

Meh, I'm not enthused with Karen here, I consider the font to downgrade the cover. On the other hand, the editorial preview appears to hold promise - Cordula Reyer!

 

[Starry]

Glad to see Meisel working with his old favorite girls!

Hoping the editorial is not full with boring B&W Pics, I just want that!
