Hmm...not sure how I feel about this.

The heavy styling conflicts with the background. Also, it reminds me of an image you would find in the catalogues of department stores.

im not a fan

Ugh, more than anything I'm disappointed in the model choice. I feel like I say this in almost every Toni Garnn-related thread, but once again, she's completely overpowered by everything else around her. That facial expression is ridiculous in and by itself, but with such strong shapes/textures/lines all around her, she looks even more out of place. This would be perfect with someone like Malgosia or Cat McNeil because I do like everything else about the cover.

^ yep, couldn't express it better

 

[Miss Dalloway]

To me she looks gorgeous, her face expression is what saves it, i am drawn to her face because of it. Only the styling appears very heavy indeed with that background, but i still like this cover.

Agreed. She's working with Benny Horne, one of the greats, and an ace at making models look their most glamorous, and yet she looks like a catalog model.

i think it's more the make up and especially the hair that doesn't work.
dare i say she looks very...stereotype russian.
i like the background, the styling does nothing for me either, but that's because of the fur.

 

[MyFavorite]

I like the styling, but her face looks like a wax figure version of herself.

 

[justaguy]

I like the styling too, but not the expression on her face.

 

[Nymphaea]

I want to cuddle her because of her soft coat.

My sentiments exactly. The cover shot is perfectly serviceable, it's just downgraded by the composition of the text.

She looks a bit constipated to say the least…especially when you compare this to Zuzanna and Irina's Vogue Ukraine covers.

I understand the concept they were trying to get across, but it just doesn't work with Toni. I'm getting some World War II/Military-chic vibes from the cover but it just looks bad.

 

[GlamorousBoy]

not bad

Toni, I love you, but...

Looks like a lifestyle magazine you would get on Air France.

i like the vintage catalogue feel to it but the potitioning of the mast head almost ruins it

 

[gossiping]

it's kind of a weak choice for a cover, nice for editorial but her facial expression ruins it

 

[TeeVanity]

Don't love this but it's not awful.

 

[Rigida]

The more I look at this cover the more I like it. I think Toni looked like a classic movie star.
