I have a thing for classic Chanel covers. But this is not it. I've never seen a more lifeless and dull ''pretty girl coming out the water'' shot, the water looks murky, there's too much space, the shoe is ugly and her hair looks like that godforsaken half shaved trend from a decade ago. It doesn't work, I think it's a horrible shot and a horrible summer (or any sort of) cover at that.
But the men's one is stunning, it's nothing overly interesting but he's a gorgeous man and the portrait is nice and safe - and that works.
