There is so much going on, on this cover. Sasha's face looks really tense and possibly photo-shopped, but it all works in a weird way for me. This is the type of cover that you look at more than once - it grabs your attention and it makes you want to look inside. I think Meisel just wanted to go for a fun, sort of humorous, cover. I don't think he wanted to create something so serious. I don't hate it. It beats a lot of the other Vogue editions' September issues, in my opinion. And, Rihanna's supplement looks promising.
