Absolutely terrible fonts and wayyyyyyy too messy. A waste of Raquel.

Finally a Vogue Nippon cover for Raquel! Her pic is great but the cover is a bit messy and 'lets hide our model behind the Vogue logo in a clever way' is too much after four months.

Exactly my thoughts mikel, I thought they would have learned something from the Daria desaster

When I saw it, I instantly thought of the May cover of ELLE Japan.

[yesbook24]

Well Japan is the #1 consumer of Chanel products right? So I guess they can handle it. Still...the covers are too similar...

Btw can Jerry Hall sue Raquel?! They look like clones here; it must be the 80s styling.

I love this cover, except for the G in front of Raquel's face

 

[BerlinRocks]

are they serious with the font???? Did they let their interns doing it???
I like the "face".... something 80s....
it would be a good cover if the font wasn't like this...

 

[agneslo]

those Vogue Nippon editors are so obessed with playing with "VOGUE" word these days,

Raquel does look good there, but the cover is way too crowded for my taste.

 

[1FashionVictim]

I wish the Vogue logo wasn't placed right infront of her face because it's a stellar cover. I love the styling and the hair and make-up.

 

[mikel]

I guess its by I&V which is always a good thing.

Hmmmm. It doesn't look like they "played" with the title and the model's face, they just plastered the logo over it and got on with business . And it does seem a bit too similar to that Elle cover, good catch sethii . Do like the styling though!

 

[vogue28]

I actually like the cover, I love how stunning Raquel looks (obviously)

That is exactly what I though when I saw it.

Raquel looks good even with the writing on her face.

Do you know the photographer too?

^ Inez and Vinoodh.

I really don't understand why they ruin a model's face covering with messy fonts. Poor Raquel.

 

[Faith Akiyama]

Long overdue Vogue Nippon cover for Raquel...but not the best, unfortunately!

 

[More dancing]

it was only a matter of time
don't like it.

 

[harrietcamilla]

I wish the fonts weren't in front of her face, but she looks lovely and that outfit is gorgeous

The head-in-letter thing is becoming a bit bizarre.

Raquel's also on the cover of July Numéro Tokyo.
