Not thrilled with the model selection this time. But I must admit it's not a bad cover all together! Also, didn't they have a group cover just a month ago?
Maybe it’s the makeup & editing, or the identical non-expressions, but they somehow kind of all look like the same person copy-pasted with slightly different skin tones
After i checked vogue japan List in wikipedia.. I'm totally shocked, since this magazine was published, i never seen japanese photographer shoot for vogue japan cover!! wtf List of Vogue Japan cover models - Wikipedia
I don't understand why that's so shocking. Meisel's american and he shot every italian cover for over 2 decades. I personally don't know any major japanese fashion photographers and I wouldn't expect a major title like Vogue to book them just for their nationality. Local photographers belong in Elle because Vogue is for the bigger fish.
Shay is definitely the surprise here. I must say she photographs very well. Jill Kortleve looks really plain though, I see zero intensity. Yasmin's cover looks really good!
I'm here for Shay as I am a big fan ! So happy to see Frenchies shine (especially when they're POC) I just don't like the B&W as it doesn't show her beauty
Is that Patrycja Piekarska with Sacha and Valerie? Wonder if she’s getting her own cover. (And patiently waiting for Mayowa )
Compare how well Meisel shot Sacha for Zara (obviously) with her cover shot here by the Photoshop artists. LOL. Actually on second look her photos aren't bad, but still. Yasmin smashed it though (or got her face smashed with the retouching/blur tool on that cover). It looks like she's wearing years old Dolce though? Random. I don't know who this Shay is TBH.
She's a Belgian rapper, she was launched by French rapper Booba. She was featured in Puma and Burberry campaigns last year.
