Such an eyesore, can’t believe I need to see those hideous smiley flowers on Vogue twice.

I can imagine Anna calling ADR and saying: b*tch, you supposed to show this cover on the September issue!

Billie Hellish and her hypebeast base are probably wetting themselves over this.
It's better than expected, but the masthead is nearly invisible.

 

[Fiercification]

For some reason I don't hate it...I think I just have this weird type of respect and affection for any type of Japanese animation/anime stemming from childhood .

I hate how fashion has like 5 artists they feature...and it's the same five over and over again for decades now...with no end in sight. Like, what kind of person are you working at magazine and sitting there pitching ideas and being like...."Murakami???" Kill me now.

That looks like a grade school art project made from MS Paint. Hahahaha!
HOPEless.

 

[YohjiAddict]

It's better than his last cover...not saying much but still.

 

[kokurox]

I like it. Looks like the december issues of Vogue Paris when the guest editor was an artist.

 

[KateTheGreatest]

Wasn't Vittoria supposed to be on the cover? I've been looking forward to seeing her

I can imagine Anna calling ADR and saying: b*tch, you supposed to show this cover on the September issue!

Due to the publication circle in Japanese magazine market, October issue is actually their “September” issue in other counterpart markets.

it’s interesting I was flipping through their September issue (Kaia cover) last night and noticed they used Japanese artists to do illustrated fashion stories. And this idea suddenly came to my mind that Japan has a huge market and legacy of great comic artists and illustrators, if they want to do it, they could leverage this resource and create amazing fashion stories under current COVID situation by inviting some of the comic names to collaborate.

And then this cover came out today... I was laughing because they just went to the most predictable choice in the end... I understand he has had good relationship with fashion industry but well... It’s just not that exciting anymore.

The female emojis would have looked better!

[Srdjan]

Apart from the fact it's a Vogue cover, it's so, so cute!

I love Takashi Murakami! And I don’t mind seeing this as a cover, but I hate that the masthead is barely visible.
