Vogue Korea January 2018 : Bella Hadid by Ahn Jooyoung

The binned covers would have made more impact without a doubt.

Another year for Hadids, the world sucks.

Vogue Korea always produces the most modern looking covers out of all the Vogues. Nitpicking aside, they're both good covers. I like when Bella looks softer, as opposed to a lifeless blow up doll.

EDIT: Benn98, were you alive and of sound mind in the 90s?

Hhmmm....is this a trick question?

I was alive in the 90's, and with sound mind too. Late 90's to be precise. And when I think back of the girls who dominated that decade (Bridget, Chandra, Shalom etc), Bella could easily have taken their spots. I don't mean to detract from them, it's just her beauty is more in line with that era than this one.

How modern is that? these are just boring close ups with NOTHING amazing to bring out: not a cool pose, not cool clothes NADA except for her always boring lifeless face (sorry but in the 90´s she would have not survived either this girl has family connections but I am still waiting on her personality and modeling skills: don´t tell me that against Coco Rocha, Raquel Zimmermann, Caroline Trentini or legends such as Shalom, Amber or Carolyn she would have slayed, she would have fallen to sleep, that´s all).

And worse that some of you thinking this is cool or modern or groundbreaking, you´re all loving this glacial/nothing to say-kind of face and you´re all hating on US Vogue Lupita´s cover???? Which world are you guys living??? It´s nuts. Lupita´s pose is edgy, the clothing looks amazing, her face is serene (OK She is not Christy Turlington but we can still appreciate the pose, the clothes, her personality and the layout is fantastic).

I hate the 1st cover. Love the 2nd.

The second cover is lovely; the thumb in the first one is jarring for some reason. Can't understand why they didn't use the far right outtake though - what a stunning shot! Her hair looks amazing too.

 

[Nomar]

Forget about the lacklustre expressions, look at that horrendous typography.

 

[annavtree]

I am really waiting for her to learn to pose. Lovely face, no charisma.

Fashion really is so hollow. Deep down Bella knows in her heart that she's mediocre as a model and that she's only dominating high fashion because of her social/financial power. So many more girls are deserving of her covers and campaigns.

 

[Benn98]

I like the red shots, she looks very striking in those.

 

[tigerrouge]

I'd say she was looking good - IF she was someone who had to model on the side to promote her main projects. Otherwise, she's looking bad for someone whose main career is being one of the top models of the moment.

What is it about models being so mediocre these days? Some of them used to be great but now can't be bothered to do a good job any more, others don't seem interested in working to become better, and so many aren't made of the right stuff to start with, other than their surname.

I actually think there are some beautiful shots in there and she pulls off this softer look very well. It's ruined by the tacky Dior overload though. I get they sponsored the cover and are using her to sell the brand, but it just feels so hollow to constantly see that logo plastered everywhere and really takes away any creative thought that went into the shoot. Most offensive to me are those hideous shoes - they alone are a sackable offence!
