No need for the big names to make a magazine work.

That main editorial just cured my COVID-19 symptoms.

Homecoming, Sleep/Walking and Long Live are solid stories, with Homecoming being the sort of smartly, stylish street-photography brand of culturally-distinct tone that Jiro Komani is so reliably good with for Vogue Japan. Unfortunately, everything is dragged down by the inconsistent and overall cheap-feel art direction; There are sparks of graphic sharpness for a few spreads, mainly the leading pages. Overall it feels so incomplete and random: I loathe everything about the Beauty story (why include the guy????) but most of all the obnoxious layout. It’s a solid revamp— at least much more memorable than what Vogue China and Vogue HK have been churning out lately. Hopefully they’ll continue to improve rather than fizzle out and just fill their pages with reprints.
