Vogue Italia September 2006 : Hilary Rhoda by Steven Meisel

[Luxx]

Now THIS is a magazine cover; slick, dark and witty. It reminds me a bit of the Linda cover with VI's Makeover Madness edit. Hilary looks deadly. She's the perfect girl for this concept. She has that 1980's American Psycho-esque yuppie look to her, I love it. Its classic and agressive. I want to see an HQ and the subsequent editorial. I can only hope its as cheekily subversive as the cover.

Basically... it's got to be the biggest hit of the fashion season. Seems like everyone likes it.

Bigger than the ever-so-famous Balenciaga coat (and riding hat)?

i like it. it's definitely not a favorite but it looks fun..and more refreshing than all of the september covers i've seen in the past weeks.

AAH!!! I love it Love the whole styling and overall feel of the cover. Much better than her "Divina" cover...

Great for Hilary too.. First July Italian Vogue Cover, then August Paris Vogue cover and now September Italian Vogue Cover!

EDIT-
Come to think of it though... how do we know this is the cover? Remember "non-stop ulimate pumping".. there was a cover of Gemma floating around which wasn't really the cover

^Haha, I think maya said that it was the cover She hasn't been wrong very often in the past, so I definitely trust her!

(And I believe Hilary was on the June Vogue Italian cover...which would make another 3-month gap, like the period between Heather's covers)

 

[CharlottefromCA]

OOoohh whoops.. thanks for the correction, June/July.. my how the time flies..

And I have no idea who maya is (sorry if she is on this site), but if you trust her Faith I trust her

 

[HeatherZ]

Hilary looks short, but basically the cover is nice.

Oh sorry! I meant maya of Iconography - she does a lot of early reviews and scans for the European issues of Vogue

she looks great

I really like this cover. IMO Hilary's face looks really great and I do not mind the pose and setting at all. I agree that it kinda goes back to those covers in 2002/2003, even though there hasn't been a single cover I didn't like for Vogue Italia in a long time. It's a powerful cover I think... and great for Hilary as well!

I love Hilary, i'm so happy she's gotten major covers in the past few months... However, I'd like to love that cover but... i don't. I don't hate it either but i'm a bit disappointed. She does look short on it and i like my models to stand tall and proud lol. The styling is horrid, i hate the setting and i don't like the font they used... The idea was nice but i don't think it's well done, i think Vogue Paris cover, which is much less original, looks ten times better. I hope the editorial will be good and that they will feature as interesting a range of models as Vogue Paris' . I'm waiting to see it in my hands though, sometimes it takes some time and my buying the mag for me to love a cover... i'm crossing my fingers

It took long enough for Prada to brainwash people into thinking that they're clothes are still worth paying attention for (me included).

Hey, I just said it SEEMED like it... it's certainly not a favorite of mine, nor is anything else by Prada. I find the the whole labe to be very 'Emperors New Clothes' (You don't like Prada's new polyester and aluminum foil pants? You have no taste!). Oh, and that Balenciaga does give it a run for its money... I think that collection has been in every Vouge for the last three months

LOL.. yeah Prada can put models wearing tupperwear on the runway and they'd still make style's top 10 list

 

[Monmonde]

You don't like Prada's new polyester and aluminum foil pants? You have no taste!

Then I am absolutely tasteless lol
I hate Prada and Miuccia

Thanks for the cover pic!!

I don't understand why Hilary is on the cover 'cause I don't like it.
She's a beautiful girl but she don't has the "x-factor".
She's the typical American beauty,girl's next door.
She's perfect for a brand like Ralph Lauren not for Prada.(my opinion)
