Vogue Russia September 2018 : Natasha, Natalia & Irina by Giampaolo Sgura

Irina's OG cover is fantastic! Love!

Crikey, can't believe something associated with those names can turn out so bad. Also do't know what is worse, the styling (with sunglasses, why??), or the ridiculous art direction. Looks worse than a preview cover!

THE STYLING.

Wow this is horrid. What in the world is going on with the double sandal on the left too?
Wow bad bad COVER.

 

[Miss Dalloway]

It’s carefree and fun, like it.

Can we please take a moment of silence to honor those awfully photoshopped sandals they're holding. Irina's left hand looks like a mush of hot dogs; looks like someone doesn't know how to use the stamp tool.

As bad as it looks on the cover, it's actually real. I just saw a video of the shooting on Instagram.

I'm very happy for Natasha but this is a bad cover, I was expecting so much more with this amazing cast, the instagram picture of them it would have been a better cover, Giampaolo Sgura is not a good photographer sorry.

Sgura is such a boring photographer.

I don't know ... I kinda like it, actually. At least it's something different

 

[Les_Sucettes]

i love those dresses. The sunglasses and the photoshopped sandals kill the cover for me though.

 

[mepps]

3 women in 3 ugly dresses.
Just flush it.

Love these ladies!!!!! but Irina solo cover is kind of weird to me.

 

[Your Anchor]

h&m campaign worthy maybe?

I don’t like he hair in this cover.

Aliona is somewhere out there laughing. VR was never the same without her.

The main cover is lazy. I don’t get the concept of removing their shoes. I would’ve understood if this were shot at night and it seems like they removed their heels after a long night of partying. But how odd is it to do it in daytime? Just my opinion.

The styling is lazy. What’s the purpose? I’d be damned if I go out wearing a similar dress with my girls. They should’ve gone with a red theme with different silhouettes and designers.

The tilting is also weird. Its an unconventional cover shot. Is this emulating Vogue Ukraine/Portugal?

The art direction is tragic. The fact that this was approved in its entirety speaks heaps of the state of this magazine.

The solo cover of Irina is okay. But what on earth is that cup? The cup has 20, and you have this huge 20 on the cover. 20/20 vision much?

Natalia’s cover is tragic. The hair is like a drag queen’s wig after a long night of gigs. Fix that hair. The balloons are cheap. Where’s the glamour? That balloon is accessible in every art store. And again, how repetitive is it to have 20/20 on the same cover.

Why people are hiring Sgura for these jobs is beyond me. I bet he has great 'social skills'.

Natasha's cover is beautiful, surprised that is by Sgura

I agree! Natasha’s cover is the best.
