Ashley should have got the cover... her story is strongest...

I think this is a great cover. The blue text works well with the photo and Natasha looks like a doll.

This is down on newsstand.co.uk as arriving in the UK today - it doesn't feel that long since the Kaia cover turned up! it's £5.95, as before.

Well, for all my criticism aimed at Alt, I must say she delivered an above average issue! Very much impressed with everything I'm seeing here. Hana and Anna' editorials are the only ones I like as we see them here, the rest could have done with some changes. But I'm gobsmacked at seeing Hana's editorial in this magazine. It's contemporary, it's glamorous, and timeless in a sense. Everything that VP has not been for the past decade or so! She really should grant her editors more creative autonomy because their take on 'return to nature' is splendid.

She handled the nature theme well, in her own tunnel-vision way. Anna's edit looks dreamy. And yes, if Karin Swerink had any sense of identity or marketing savvy she'd use the windmill on her anniversary covers. Especially with that hue. Great work.
With Ashley's edit I admire the production value, the conception of the story, and styling more than anything else. While Ashley looks every inch the wholesome corn-fed peasant in most of her shots, I don't think she carries herself well here. Her poses are too 'modern' for this story. That's why models should brush up their historical photography, art and film skills just to see how women were captured and how they moved around. But regardless, I think the story is refreshing because it's a refreshing take on a fuller figure model.
I really don't like Natasha's edit. It actually ended up terribly contrived, and this new cheesy surreal effect which I&V are so fond lately of dont wash well with me.

Apparently the below shot served as inspiration to the VP team...........Lisa Fonssagrives by Irving Penn. I'm shocked that Alt would build her issue around something so nostalgic would because she always took pains to assert how she's only concerned with reflecting the girl on the street.

That editorial with Anna Ewers makes you fall in love with life (again).

Perhaps it's because British magazines tend to be full of countryside themes, but I can't say I'm too fond of seeing them in Vogue Paris, even if this issue represents a departure for Alt.

While I consider Vogue Paris to be on a par with UK Bazaar in that they each seem free of insecurities regarding the internet - they believe in making the effort to be the best print magazines they can be - that doesn't mean I want to see the same content across the pages of both magazines.

Anna's, Ashley's, Natasha's and Alexandra's eds are all too similar for my taste.

I love Ashley's the most tho. It's by far the strongest, imo. She should have gotten the cover.

I didn't know VP had BTS videos, must be a recent development.

This font, this layout... We gonna keep doing this vintage thing every month?
They had lucky with the Anna ed, however Im still not buying this.

 

[dodencebt]

I adore Ashley's editorial, everything in it works - especially the styling.

 

[khyrk]

I love Ashley's ed!

 

[kasper!]

When Alt does some fashion from countryside or field...it is lovely I have to say. But still nothing new.

 

[JPineapple]

Ashley’s outakes are gorgeus . The last one could’ve been an interesting choice for a cover.

In love with both Anna's and Ashley's stories. Both are gorgeous. Natasha looks great as well.
