Good grief, so many Paolo Roversi features, and they're all so intriguing. This is a must-have issue for me!! I'd like to see him book the cover at least once. That shot of Elisa is astounding, and he perfectly captured Saskia's beauty in the jewels edit.
He has a signature, that's why his work is "always the same". Same goes for Aldridge and Ellen. Signature photographers tend to follow a certain concept. If that's bad? I don't think so. Because in the perfect world a magazine doesn't have ONE photographer doing every single cover every single month. It's pathetic. That's why I will never put my money on non-signature photographers because I have no idea what they will do. They can give you an amazing work and then some terrible work (like this one). We have what? 4/5 incredible editorials here? That's 5 covers, right there. 5 different covers by 5 different photographers and you know their work will be good.
And seriously: I would prefer 12 good covers by Roversi than 2 good covers (and 10 not-so-great) by Meisel.
To me this cover is very ameatur, it doesn't exude what a VI cover should be. I'm so over seeing Lexi Boling. I don't find her interesting at all. It would be nice to see Mica Arganaraz or Diana Gärtner instead.
The cover is awkward and the styling isn't flattering at all on Lexi. Other than that, I do really like a lot of the edits, especially the couture ones.
hmm, i definitely love this cover. its intriguing, even thought provoking.
i guess im just so tired of seeing the endless wannabe "fierce" sexy looks or young girls bored out of their minds. it feels refreshing to have editorials/covers with strong ideas that reach beyond fashion.
btw, how many smiling models can you spot in the editorials?
I just received my ordered copy of the issue from NEWSSTAND.CO.UK.
THE ENTIRE COUTURE SUPPLEMENT was MISSING. Can anyone please clarify for me that the supplement is a separate magazine? I bought this issue specifically for the supplement and the distributor is sending the issues out without it and without knowledge they're doing so… Any reply would be most appreciated.
