Vogue Paris November 2014 : Adriana Lima by Mert Alas & Marcus Piggott

[Srdjan]

Adriana, the fashion knight! It's interesting. I would only zoom it in a little bit.

 

[chris za]

where have i seen it before?

 

[Nymphaea]

I feel I should like it, it's eye-catching for sure.

 

[MyNameIs]

I don't like it. Mostly because I hate that makeup/styling. I think they relied on that factor to make the cover look striking, but since it doesn't work for me, the cover doesn't work. Also, I find Adriana to be a really boring cover subject. She's pretty. But she can't really hold my interest.

 

[Kite]

She looks like she has been beaten up......obviously not the victorious Knight......or did she fight 9 other girls for the cover....Medieval Hunger Games style....

 

[Legolas]

Adriana for vogue paris? Okay....
I feel that vogue paris now days look like any other vogue edition.

For having Adriana? You sound so F/W 10 ... Sorry dude, but that is such a snobbish thing to say considering the clients she has been working with during the last years. The only thing that makes this look like any other Vogue edition is Emmanuelle in charge. Carine is way better at making interesting concepts, Emmanuelle is just as bland as she can be.

I'm not a fan of Lima but this cover is really great! Her eyes look stunning. I'm happy that Vogue Paris shows her in this way. Her sexy look is much more boring to me.

 

[congacon]

it's hard for adriana to pull off this kind of look. she is not known for having depth in her modeling.

not a good cover but happy for adriana tho.

 

[Oxymore]

This is a good year for Adriana
But I'm not sure about the cover, they could have done something better with her. I'm not feeling it :/

 

[BerlinRocks]

This magazine has lost any sense of identity; I never know what I'm going to see when I click on their thread, it's completely disjointed from month to month. I feel as if Alt is grasping at straws at this point.

preach !

Is this Joan of Arc ?

I'm not too keen of this cover. .... and I have never been fond of Adriana (the last time she was in VP that was an editorial by Carlyne C.D. , non?)

 

[MON]

It's an okay cover. I'm not jumping off of my seat, but I'm also not disgusted by its atrocity. This gives me some Game of Thrones realness. I know it's not a usual Vogue Paris cover, but I do not want to jump to the conclusion that the magazine lost its identity because I don't want to base the magazine's identity during Carine's era. Yes this doesn't look like the identity Carine built but to me that's a good thing because at least Emmanuelle managed to create her own identity that's somehow different than that of Carine's.

And this is nowhere near a Vogue Russia cover. Vogue Russia has awful covers and even their recent best covers do not come close to this one. My only issue here is the red font that kills the cover. I think gold would have suited better for the intensity of the image.

But I do respect the opinions of everyone here :-)

This sort of thing just shows that the art of producing a good cover lies in getting every aspect of it right - a mastery of proportion and space, conveying excitement in the coverlines, ensuring a sense of 'life' in the face of the model on the front, selecting an eye-catching colour scheme, and having a strong feel of the overall fantasy that's being sold.

Whoever makes the final call with their covers seems to have a theoretical understanding of what should make a good cover, but no true natural instinct for producing them on a regular basis.

wow. this is a surprise. Adriana is having an unbelievable year. It's pretty incredible - this far into her career - to have the year that she's having.

i think she looks fantastic! i mean, that face is just gorgeous. undeniably so. the styling is kinda cool, though i'm bored by the grey background.

there IS something familiar about the pic, though. i feel like i've seen it before somewhere...

Was this meant for Allure Russia??

 

[Creative]

I think the layout works really well.

Really? The upper part of the cover is literally crowded with the red masthead, her blue eyes, the heavy make-up, all the Photoshop going on, the cover lines in red and white, the mesh... While the other part of the cover is way emptier, and the lower part of a picture can handle in a better way visual weights.

where have i seen it before?

This so much! I had a deja vu when opening the thread. There's something very similar out there but I don't what it is... yet.

 

[justaguy]

This cover reminds me of some of the US Vogue covers under Vreeland with Veruschka and Lauren Hutton, but sadly, Adriana, doesn't pull this off.

 

[marsnoop2]

I think she looks stunning, it's beautiful!

 

[Les_Sucettes]

Don't like it at all. I think it's quite ugly actually. It's a really fashion cover, the likes they usually do not do anymore because they became slightly ridiculous. Adriana's beauty does not touch me in any way or form, so regardless this would never work for me.

 

[GlamorousBoy]

very nice glamorous cover

 

[lightblue]

Just happy for her. So gorgeous.
