It looks like they finally listened to their fans and gave them what they wanted. There's minimal change on the layout including the orders of sections + it has 6 gorgeous editorials compared to last issue's 3.

This is my favorite Vogue PH issue since the Chloe Magno cover. It feels complete.

 

[Paul Lintag]

YES!!!!! My fave just got her first Vogue cover. Gorgeous! I'm definitely buying this one. It's clean and fresh. Amazing start for the year

 

[DrewRavida]

Already ordered a copy, look thru the issue @ Press Reader and it's amazing.

I love H.E.R and this cover, so refreshing to look at. This Stella McCartney spring 2005 ad campaign might be their inspiration.

Beautiful cover in general but am not crazy about the outfit they gave her. They should have given her a beautiful white outfit coz its obvious from the ed that she's quite photogenic

 

[Drusilla_]

I like the cover - it's calm and clean but also striking (and I agree that Stella McCartney 2005 campaign might have been the inspiration).

 

[Kimy Jo]

I love it

 

[lanvinray]

It’s so refreshing to see a Blasian covergirl Will definitely buy this issue

 

[MDNA]

Industry plant aside, this is quite good.

 

[Avonlea]

No

They made a great choice for this cover, as H.E.R. represents a new era for Filipinos in culture and style. She is from Vallejo, CA in the Bay Area and as an EGOT winner showcases the multi-dimensional creative force of Filipino culture. Excellent choice. Some euro-centric beauty fans may not understand the importance of this choice, high fashion kids may not agree- but this is important and was done at the right time, to represent the Philippines.

Agree. This is their best most culturally appropriate choice for modern day representation of Filipinos. This is great.

Great eye, this was such a good campaign, and if referenced was done so beautifully.

 

[Fiercification]

She's a wonderful artist; I had her debut album on repeat all of summer 2021. I also thought she photographed beautifully on said album cover, although I think she doesn't have the most defined or "memorable" face if you like, which can make photographing her for the cover of a fashion magazine something of a challenge.

I sort of appreciate what the team here tried to do with her, and I will never underappreciate a 2005-era reference, but I feel like a simpler close-up might have been more powerful and had more impact.

Got my copy yesterday along with their January issue with Taki on the cover. Great issue that perfectly mixes stories and editorials! My favorite one since their September issue last year.

I love Nadine Lustre and Hody Yim's editorials. Seeing the photographs of BJ Pascual and Shaira Luna in one issue is such a delight as a fan of both photographers for many years now. Vogue PH should already give BJ his much deserved Vogue cover.

The February issue has 168 pages with 6 editorials. Though the proofreading is still an ongoing issue in this magazine, I still commend Bea and her team for finally reading the criticisms on their social media platforms and tweaked necessary things to improve their magazine. I can't wait to have my March issue next month.

Looks like a Vogue Australia cover, down to the talent.

Design-wise it's ok but I'm not wowed. Would've preferred the very first editorial preview as a cover try. It's exaggerated but that's what Vogue is about.

Thing bout H.E.R. is that I know her songs, but I'm not sure if this cover will sell. Is she famous in the Philippines considering she doesn't have a cover in the US at all and one digital cover for UK Glamou

Rest of the content looks promising. Thanks for posting @crmsnsnwflks
