Vogue Paris August 2013 : Daria Werbowy by David Sims

[Miss Dalloway]

Ha, right! Not to mention Daria, because we must have one of Alt's favorites, even if it makes no sense.

I mean geeze we had the Parisienne issue last September, then we had the I love America issue with Milla Jovovich in February and now we get "The London issue".

Alt is so brainless.

And lets not forget the god awful Las Vegas issue with Daria from last year as well, which i thought was a cool cover, but then content turned out just "bang my head on the keyboard" dull!

The single issue that Kate Moss would sound apropriate for the cover she is not or better Naomi Campbell! But no, lets give Daria ,that has pretty much all the nationalities in the world less english, the cover for the 100th time.

 

[Nymphaea]

With only a jacket on the model must ooze more or less sexiness, but unfortunately this isn't working with Daria. Obvious too much text. It's quite a bland cover, I only like the colors.

 

[MyNameIs]

But no, lets give Daria ,that has pretty much all the nationalities in the world less english, the cover for the 100th time.

Seriously! Should've saved Daria for the annual Ukrainian/Canadian/Polish issue.

is this Esquire? Usually i don't have trouble with many texts on the cover but the text here is a big big mess. all the titles are screaming for attention here. I don't know what to look at on the cover. Aside from that I like the photo of Daria and the black/white/red composition.

 

[DanceFashionista]

WTF

 

[mikel]

I really can't stand the nose piercing. It looks so out of place. It's such a cheap, easy and uninspired way to make it somehow 'punk' and supposedly suitable for a London themed issue. It reminds me in a way of the cover with an Eiffel tower pendant wearing Hilary Rhoda for the Augustus 2008 Paris themed issue.

The shadow around her face is hideous as well. It looks too photoshopped.

I do like the text heavy lay out and it's always a nice welcome to see a smiling Daria.

 

[|PerfectTonight|]

I like the contrast the text is creating, complementing detail to the picture. What I don't like is the nose ring and the coat/naked body combination. Quite blasé.

 

[Srdjan]

I just wish she was ''taller'' - wish they moved her image more to the top, covering the logo completely.

 

[MulletProof]

This girl, next to Anja and Lily Donaldson have an anti-insomnia, anti-consumerism effect on me... I could quit the idea of ever purchasing a magazine again just for this.

 

[KKnardi]

heavy on text for sure, but I like the cover and model!

 

[GlamorousBoy]

what??? this is Daria???

 

[justaguy]

This just isn't up to Vogue Paris caliber. Bad shot of Daria, we know she's much more beautiful than this! Too much text, bad styling and where's the rest of her outfit??

 

[kokobombon]

The smile looks so fake! and though I think there´s too much text, I like it... the use of the font´s bold and the colors

 

[Les_Sucettes]

i like the text, the colour, daria

hate what she is wearing, hate this "london" idea...there's a reason i don't buy uk vogue its because it's boring

Well I presume the theme is about London not Vogue UK.

Plus I do not understand why everyone is talking about this like this is some sort of novel idea Alt conjured, a couple of years ago there was a Uk theme exactly along the same lines. It was a really solid issue, given the proximity of the two cities and the fact that tLondon is such an incredible creative hub, it will be really interesting to see what Vogue Paris will highlight this time.

I got really excited when I saw the thread title but after opening and seeing the cover, my excitement turned into disappointment. This is pure mess to be honest. I love Daria so much but they made her look awful. Her hair looks bad, the nose piercing is a little out of place and gosh, what's up with her smile? It doesn't look good or adorable or radiant, whatever. Plus the text layout is so Esquire-ish. Like it's really evident.

Hopefully the content will compensate the mess this cover has.

 

[LagerfeldBoy]

It's the smile that ruins it! It's not that Daria has a horrendous smile, but I think a more captivating, strong stare would've worked with the nose piercing and RL jacket, imo.

 

[AD011620]

I dont understand Alt sometimes... This seems to be a very much British issue and why is Daria on the cover? Nothing aganst Daria I love her and especially, her worknfor VP but I am afraid this cover has to be an exception... It just looks awful...

 

[LabelWhore4]

Thank god its not Kate Moss but Daria is almost just as bad at this point. Ugh VP really needs to break things up with the casting. Its beyond irritating and uninspired, now its becoming embarrassing and sad. Tragic. I'll stick to US Vogue atm.

 

[Jelavender]

The nose piercing styling is really pointless. Overall the cover doesn't really stand out and the only thing I like about it the bright and optimistic smile from Daria. The Ralph Lauren jacket works well with the red/black color theme here, but they could've easily found some equally eligible pieces from certain British designers, which is a shame. I don't really mind the text overload, because I am curious as what's inside for this particular issue and great to see Kate and Vivienne's names involved.
