Vogue Russia April 2019 : Grace Elizabeth by Yelena Yemchuk

Too beige, and the white masthead almost disappears. I'm sure the styling looked really stunning on a clotheshorse, but once you stick it on the tanned Grace Elizabeth and in front of that tree, it all sort of meshes together not in a good way. Stylistically speaking, a darker skinned model would've been better. Or move her away from that tree.

This makes you realise there is an art to UK Bazaar's landscape/garden shots, because I can't recall seeing one where the clothing competed with the background to the point where they cancelled each other out.

Lucky it was Grace, her face still manages to stand out; a blander model could've easily disappeared completely. Despite the lack of contrast against the background I still like the cover. Grace is easily one of the best cover girls we have at the moment in my opinion.

I always look forward to their spring covers. The sentiment is really nice here and I love her, but her face looks just a bit weird.

It's a nice attempt. I like the pose and I like Grace. The problem here is obviously the styling + the background. It just blends together. This tricky dress would look better on a more neutral background eventually. Grace still manages to make it work though.

I like it, love the fact Grace lands yet another Vogue cover, the colours and how the texture of the greenery behind complements the ruffles of the Gucci dress.

Although there was a far better shot (very similar to the cover shot itself) which I saw floating around Instagram, which I immediately thought would've made for a better cover. Can't find it to post now!

^Wow, indeed. It looks so much better! The background looks clearer and more appealing in that one.

Yup, that's the shot! What a beautiful cover it would've made, and perhaps complemented by a vibrant yellow masthead and minimal text.
