Vogue Italia September 2008 : Viktoriya Sasonkina by Steven Meisel

[Li Ya Fan]

What a month... my two very least favorite new models getting the two biggest covers.

Nothing wrong with the cover as such, but her face is just off-putting beyond belief.

 

[212DRESSINGROOM]

Love the styling

 

[thiago:)]

I like it ... It's classic but modern at the same time. And it reminds me some old VI covers that I like so much too

 

[Kanna]

Beautiful cover..
It looks like it comes from the 40s. I really love the retro vibes showed recently in both French and Italian Vogues. Brilliant

Who's on the cover of the Unique Supp, BTW?

 

[kevinnn]

I thought it was Masha N at first.

rofl that would of been ground breaking

great cover, nice to see a pretty Meisel girl for a change

 

[chanels]

I love the Old Hollywood, 40s inspiration. Very lovely and I see the Stam resemblance.

 

[OhJane]

oooh i really like it

 

[KKnardi]

awful cover, and it's for september? boring.

 

[Tinsley V]

Wow I love this - its like old Vogue covers from the past

 

[mariemaud]

I adore it (but I don't know any shot of Viktoriya that I don't love )
Meisel's abilities to transform any realistic scene into something completely beautiful, exceptionnal and almost surreal is wonderfully relayed by the look of Viktoriya... Striking as evidence, simple yet powerful, you won't have to think twice...

Same, I adore well, it's no wonder as I might adore everything Viktoriya has done lately (and even her older work) but it's also my favorite Italian Vogue cover ever or at least since the two with Heather Bratton. Not only the fact it's Viktoriya but she really fits the aesthetic and what might be the theme of the upcoming editorial inside.

And... I'm not even sure you had to think once

 

[Naïade]

It's nice. Not a fan of Viktoriya but it works.

 

[Kanna]

I love the Old Hollywood, 40s inspiration.

So do I, and that's why I love this cover so much.

 

[cold_sun]

I dont actually like the cover, but any infos about eds eds eds ?

 

[Bulle]

Amazing cover

 

[hfgl]

OMG!Crazy for it!Can't wait for the ed!

 

[SnejanaIsMyMuse]

I actually like the cover very much so.

Simple but nice.I too love the seemingly old hollywood inspiration, and the fact that it doesn't seem to have a ton of funky photoshop effects or airbrushing.

This is one of my new favorites of the covers.It reminds me of the golden age of Vogue Italia, 1990-2001 or so.

 

[John Black]

ABSOLUTELY the cover. So striking. Her eyes are incredible! Somehow the pictures reminds me something of Stam that i didnt notice before...

 

[tocceve]

That would explain a lot! Maybe I don't like her because she looks like Stam. Although I like Jessica a million times more, and she had really striking Vogue Italia covers.

 

[kahlilg]

i would have love to see the original ed.
