All covers are beautiful but KK's cover is just sublime. Looking forward to this new era as well although they have been giving us great covers recently.
They changed the editor in chief and the publishing partnership. This is the first issue under them. Karina, the new market director posted today in her instagram
Of four editorials, one is reprinted, but it's needless to say that it's 8 vs. 66 pages in volume. Let's give the new credit for effort.Bought the magazine today. It was wrapped in plastic so I wasn't able to go through the contents before buying. And I totally understand why now.
Although the covers look, indeed, amazing, the magazine lacks much. 5€, 289 pages, only 4 editorials, one of them a re-print. Plenty of other re-printed articles. A few non-sense articles (the meaning of colours?) and plenty of "shopping" pages. If we took out all the reprinted/translated stuff the magazine would be down to half its volume.
It feels empty, without direction. There's a few good articles, a few "touches" that really look like an improvement from its past incarnation but I was expecting more. It feels like GQ meets Elle at times.
That said, the original editorials are very good, something that can't be said of most Vogues.

As I said, the editorials are far from being a problem here (although I would have gone to a smaller main edit instead of the massive and at times repetitive main ed). I would also like to see a bit more diversity in creatives (photographers and stylists) and more Portuguese talent. They are also lacking in good written content, that is their major problem, always has been.
