Vogue Italia October 2011 : Karen Elson by Steven Meisel

Great cover. Can`t wait to see the full editorial.

Okay, late reaction here. Is that really Cordula Reyer? Suddenly remembered my gay high school teacher who used to idolize her back in the days. I'm thrilled to see her back on Meisel's lens again.

Any idea about the other female model? Hoping for other late 90s models to be in the cast.

I had no idea who she was until MagFan identified her. I googled her and I must say I'm impressed by her work. Can't wait to see the main ed, from the preview it reminds me of 'Natural Life' from November 1999.

Actually when I first saw the cover, it suddenly reminded me this editorial from AnOther Magazine #8 issue with Karen as well shot by McDean. Must be because of the setting.

Looks even better in HQ! I just adore this one. Such a great follow-up from the Sept. issue. What is she wearing by the way?

I have never really cared about Karen or looked into her modelling history much but that cover is beautiful. I like how its been edited, I think everything works really well.

I dislike the font...

same here, but Karen looks beautiful.

 

[LiranYana]

Lovely Karen
but the background and cover looks boring

 

[thiago:)]

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!

I know, the font doesn't look good. However, Karen looks stunning!

Pure love for this cover!!!

 

[Breathless]

I've noticed a repetitive pattern going on with Meisel for quite sometime now. Since his "The Godfather" spread in US Vogue 2009, he's used every last one of his muses from that very spread in some way. Rather it be advertisements, editorials or Vogue covers. It's nice and kind of special that he does this but for every time he used them he's done absolutely nothing innovative with any of them this time around, except with Kristen Mcnenamy for the Oil Disaster Issue and in W Magazine last month. It is now time for him to use the newer models more heavily and the muses/supers spontaneously.

Apparently Jenny Shimizu is on the ed too.

 

[happytrail]

it's nice. it reminds me of early/mid aughts (2001-2006ish) italian vogue, which wasn't so long ago, it just feels like those days were so long ago.

 

[justaguy]

^^ Jenny S????? Can't wait to see her!

 

[Sigren]

It's a beautiful cover. One of the best VI covers in a long long time
I hope the content is just as good..

 

[cottonmouth13]

Jenny Shimizu? The one whom Angelina Jolie had a thing with in the past? OMG. It seems like the cast is turning out to be one hell of a 90s model mania.

^Wow. I'm blown away by Hanaa. She is quite amazing.

I'm a huge fan of Karen + Meisel. So this is pretty fantastic.
