Vogue Japan March 2019 : Mariacarla, Chiharu, Irina, Natasha & Imaan by Luigi & Iango

^A way better solo cover for her! Maybe a favorite out of the bunch along with Chiharu's. There's a bunch of previews on Luigi and Iango's Insta account and it all looks rather questionable.. A nice portrait of Irina in black and white, tho
 
Bitton casting VJ covers now? Wow, no wonder this is a casting mess lol.
 
It looks like they had 10 seconds to think of a pose.
 
Well... the wait for something by Luigi & Iango after those dreadful January and February covers has proved to be somewhat of a disappointment.

The cover isn't the best L&I have churned out for Vogue Japan but those solo covers are far better, and you'll never hear me complaining about the sight of Natasha Poly. Not to mention how that shot of Irina Shayk looking over her shoulder is... everything! :heart:
 
Right? I know many on here absolutely adore her, but I never could warm to her personally. Maybe she hoped this new hair will give her more bookings, and sadly enough it did. Lol. She booked 2 covers so far, one of them OG which for her is a rarity. I'm sure there's more work in the loop too. Guess she won't be changing it anytime soon..
Oh, dear Benn98! You know I'm a sucker for MariaCarla and even I think this new hair is a mess! Not as bad as her blond short hair phase, sure, but a mess. And she looks terrible in that group picture (as does everyone else).

I do like that first solo cover of her. It's classic MCB fierceness (even with that hair). I also find Chiharu's cover acceptable. I find it funny how Irina doesn't give a shaite and delivers absolutely zero effort into posing even when within a group. It's if Sara Sampaio wasn't enough for the Adriana Lima look-alike club and they needed a third (more) boring clone.
 
That shot of Natasha in Dior should have been the cover.
 
How many covers?!?!?! It baffles me that magazines still insist on the dead horse of multi covers. It takes no bravery to publish every last shot...in fact, it wreaks of desperation...throwing everything at the wall, hoping as a viewer I’ll like one cover JUST enough to spend my money on an issue. Unfortunately for them, I haven’t spent a penny on a single magazine in probably 5 years - at least.

This kind of photography is just so passé, too. This brand of “FIERCE, HUNNY” fashion is wearing thin, and it’s because it lacks any sophistication...it’s Drag Race. Now, don’t get me wrong, either...I’m just as tired of the faux-intellectual natural photography on the other end of the spectrum in fashion photography these days.

It’s rare to see anything anymore that has some kind of aspirational glamour and beauty but doesn’t insist on veering off into cheesy, CGI clichés, either.
 
The main cover is awful & i don't have word about the background. :ermm:
 
I only like Natasha and Irina's second images.

I'm cant with "Sophisticated Ladies" with Chiharu's weird pose. hahaha
 
Quite an underwhelming issue for March!!
