Breathtaking and so so warm! I wish they would've left it for March.

Holy smoke!! This is simply breathtaking. The styling could be better, I find the pajamas(?) too busy for the backdrop, but the black font helps a lot.

Reminds me of old Linda Evangelista US Vogue cover. In fact, I think Vogue recreated that cover with Linda herself a separate time as well.

It does indeed look like Linda's cover. But nonetheless it still looks beautiful. Although the styling could have been so much better

I am not sure with the use of black though

This is lovely and yes, so reminiscent of Linda's US Vogue cover!

I think it looks like a senior portrait.

Beautiful, windswept in the fields...Suvi really does know how to always rock a cover like a star. Many more VR covers from Sebastien Kim please!

I might be the only one who doesn't appreciate the cover, it looks cheap, and flowers in Feb, seriously?

 

[Oxymore]

^you're not, it does look cheap and messy.

 

[CATO]

looks like a housewife mag. In germany its "Brigitte". Their covers look the same.

I find that the cover is much more similar to Linda's September 1993 US Vogue cover. I have mixed feelings about Suvi's because it is so similar to what I've seen before but it is also really beautiful.

It sort of does LOL

It’s really lovely in a casual, earthy style. Just simple and natural and striking as a composition. The Linda Vogue September 1993 cover is an unfair comparison; If it’s copying that, then every B&W shot in the ocean is copying Herb and every shot with women in tuxedos is copying Helmut.

 

[TeeVanity]

So pleased with this, gives an American Vogue vibe.

I don't think it is a Vogue cover worthy picture. Happy for Suvi though.

I like it better than the cover.

Thanks for the link, Kate!! The editorial is indeed better than the cover. Suvi's face looks heavily retouched in some of the shots. The styling is on point though. Love the very last shot.
