The motorbike cover is passable but not very Vogue. The skydiving pictures are just atrocious. How is the first one even in consideration for the cover.

I always get a kick out of their covers, but I accept that nearly all of the Filipino users seem to hate them…

Oh here we go another National Geographic cover on TFS.

The third one is okay. It could be a passable Vogue Singapore cover.

The first one, though...


MTV

They really seem to hate fashion photography

 

[Cute]

Very ANTM coded

It doesn't ''feel'' Vogue at in terms of imagery and high fashion luxurious clothing at all but I love the skydiving cover, it's exciting and fresh.

The hate is deserved. Their consistently pickme themes by algorithm are such a hilarious contrast to how their upper management treat their staff and anyone that isn’t upper management that they may as well just be Disney villains.

But ultimately, there is nothing impressive about this Vogue: It’s just Mega Magazine with a Vogue masthead.

What algorithim on earth is possibly choosing these themes

I stopped buying this but it seems they removed the monthly Vogue Man supplement. Is there a reason?

I think this Skechers ad from 2004 is what they have in mind for that cover lol

I would love to see Nadya Hutagalung grace a cover of Vogue. Vogue Singapore, Australia, come on girls!

Vogue PH gives off a pretentious, middle- to upper-class Filipino vibe that even bleeds into their YouTube videos. I can’t quite explain it but everyone there seems to act differently, like the Vogue title makes them perform a certain way.

MEGA might not have the same level of photography as Vogue PH, but at least it knows it’s a fashion magazine,not a showcase of 'Which Filipino is a global achiever today?' just to sell to the masses.

Just an opinion of course.

Out of all their covers this year, this is the only one that I can consider a fashion photo. The rest look like NatGeo, a travel mag that you can steal on a plane, or a cheap catalogue with an ill-fitted outfit.

And this isn't a perfect fashion image, either.

This has to be their WORST year so far.


Vogue PH

Love the skydiving cover. Yeah, it’s not Vogue in the traditional sense but, I think it’s a great shot, she’s a badass and it’s definitely something I haven’t seen before in this kind of context.

"Vogue Men" is still there. It's just greatly reduced to a handful of pages with short feature to bookend the main issue. Likely a cost-effective move due to no increase subscription/readership.

Just took a glimpse of this issue, and although the fashion stories look professionally, competently produced and shot-- with some high production value even, there's just something extremely dated and juvenile about their sensibility. Very curious how well this edition does because it's neither classic Vogue nor modern Vogue in its sensibility.

I just checked out Mega's May cover with Nadine Lustre and honestly, I think it’s way more creative and stylish compared to what VPH has been putting out on their covers lately.

Isn’t Vogue supposed to be elitist though?

I don’t know, as an outsider I find their choices to be so wild. One month it’s a 108 year old woman! Then it’s a woman skydiving! 🪂
