Well, I was right in saying that it would be a French icon.....
But the cover doesn't intrigue me in any way at all. It's not a strong profile shot, the art direction doesn't flatter the composition, and why the juvenile multi-colours? Anyway, I'm sure it will sell. Wonder if there will be more covers.
Lachlan has been shooting for VP for years. No doubt Saglio begged and begged for him to get the cover, and this is the result? I don't know who to blame because he's for most part pretty adept at capturing good profiles. No wonder Alt never breaks in newer photographers like Wales or MacDonald.
