I love everything... except her facial expression. Lovely colours.

If you hadn't told me Sgura shot this, I'd swear it was Sundsbo . I really like Bianca here and the purple logo compliments the cover well.

 

[visualoptimism]

i think this is there best cover in a while, love the covers and bianca looks wonderful!

Whats with Sgura always shooting their covers? However, I do like this cover...their best in a long time!

 

[tarsha]

^ Sgura shot only 3 covers so far.

 

[AL92]

^ Hmm the last 3 right? Maybe thats why I'm always feeling like its always Sgura

 

[tarsha]

^ He shot December, January & now March. February was by Solve Sundsbo.

Bianca looks great but I really don't like Sgura's photos, especially for VJ. I am already SO sick of his work.

Bianca looks lovely on the cover! I do hope she had an editorial inside.

 

[Franzy]

I think she's a perfect choice for this kind of concept! But something seems off...

 

[Miss Dalloway]

Certainly the most attractive cover they have done in a while, and it appears like there is less text this time...

 

[blueorchid]

^ I think it's the lack of wall-to-wall text. It feels empty.

OMG, Love this!! For me it doesnt get much better than Bianca in a bejeweled Dolce bustier!! Reminds me of a shot of Linda Evangelista from the 90s in a similar look. Ultra excited for the editorials

 

[MON]

I like it but I hate the fact how this looks like a rip off of the main Dolce & Gabbana campaign. This could have been better if she was zoomed in a little bit. I miss the Inez & Vinoodh days of Vogue Japan. Sundsbo and Sgura is definitely not doing anything good for the magazine (for the cover atleast)

 

[Starry]

over-photoshopped...

 

[liberty33r1b]

her face looks really beautiful and I love the make-up, I just wish she was wearing something different.....

 

[Bertrando3]

it looks FIERCEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE but isn't the same swimsuit that Karolina Kurkova wears on the cover of Vogue Turkey?
