This cover was almost identical to the vintage Vogue Italia ed. Same mood & same wig...
Do you remember Iris's Chanel cover a few years ago? Yes it was familiar with a Vogue Italia Kristen cover, at least Carine had a twist, she made it more tackier, more fashion-y & more funny..

Generally, I prefer eye contact in cover shots (and at second glance, it really doesn't feel very much like a cover shot at all)
May be Alt wants to give a chance to her other favorites?I couldn't agree with you more, first thing I noticed. Although I'm not going to let that ruin this. Isabeli looks outstanding, I can't think of anyone better, who would be able to pull this off.
There better be some Natasha Poly in the issue. It's surprising Natasha or Daria haven't showed up under Alt's reign already. Not even no mention from the August shoot a week back.
