Vogue Italia September 2014 by Steven Meisel

[cottonmouth13]

Okay. Alright. Breathe in, breathe out. To be perfectly honest, I have mixed feelings regarding the cover and the accompanying editorial.

First off, I'm a bit bothered with those white borders on the cover. It's simply irritating to see cause it blocks the beauty of the cover especially how beautiful Meisel shot the girls. Like if someone posts the HQ of the cover without the master head and other texts, will we be getting those white borders too? Crap.

Second, why on frigging earth is Edie placed in that position with the supermodels? Guinevere should have been placed in there. And where the hell are the other supermodels? Shalom, Nadja, Kristen? Even Gisele and Daria are not part of this. I'm really surprised especially with Gisele and Kristen considering they have done extensive work that have become iconic with Meisel. Even the top models of the late 90s like Maggie, Audrey, Carmen, Kirsten and the rest. Where are they? Shame.

Third being the main editorial. Like seriously, is that it? I was really and truly expecting to see some extravagant editorial or editorials by Meisel since it's an anniversary issue. I'm sorry but the shots look like outtakes. Like BTS that sort of thing.

But on to the positive side, this is a thousand times better than US Vogue's. So happy to see Elise, Hilary, Stegner and Stammy on the cover. So it's really 50 models on the cover, ha.

Can someone lists the complete cast on the cover? TIA.

Freja, Arizona, Abbey Lee... Who?

Hannelore Knuts - 6 main covers and 2(?) supplements and god knows how many eds and ads they made together
same goes to Volodina, Missy Rayder etc

happy to see Elise there. they not worked together much for a long time but she still got her well deserved spot on the cover

Seeing the cover I want to buy it because it's a historical models cover I love to collect. Now that I've seen the section "portfolios" I want to buy two !

Anything vaguely throwback/cast in sepia does it for me so I quite like the cover although I have my gripes about some of the girls chosen; there's no point in dwelling on it though.

Lots of archive material...which is good in some ways as Vogue IT seem better at compiling their own legendary images than attempting to make new ones these days.

 

[Tony Fersen]

Btw, does anybody has any idea when will this issue arrive in Paris, France?

August issue was on sale the 21st of august... I'll afraid, we'll have to wait around the third week of september.

1st, 4th, and 5th page are my fave, in terms of models choice.

[Ed..]

This issue is so good! One thing about Vogue Italia that I like is that the editorials look different from one another, and I think that what makes a fashion magazine interesting.

 

[MyNameIs]

Let's be honest, the only thing that's impressive about the cover is the quantity of models. Has that many models ever appeared on a single cover at the same time? This fact alone makes it a collectors item and will probably make it an iconic issue for many years to come. The quality of models is generally good too. Some questionable choices, but given VI's propensity for putting random no-names in/on their magazine, this is a surprisingly well put together cast.

Takeaway the cast, and this is a really cheap looking cover - something that's been Meisel's specialty the last few years. The sepia, the random lines and borders throughout and the graininess of the whole thing make for a really amateur cover. Additionally, because the cast is so numerous, it almost feels like a Chanel show cast.

Finally, for those models who hadn't had a solo cover before, this is a really cheap way to add "VI cover" to their resume.

 

[Starry]

Well I have to say I am satisfied with the cover and the cast of the main ed although some of my favorites and Meisel's old favorites are not in it. I totally understand that some girls are not available during the shooting and it's impossible to get every iconic face in one group cover. That's why we hope for another cover like this again and again.

[dodencebt]

Oh.My.God. I am in shock. This is gorgeous, I knew Meisel would do a shot of 50 girls, he is literally God.

 

[MON]

Beautiful, but I'm sad because there's no Lara, Daria & Freja
