Oh dear, that's it??? Looks like a UK Elle editorial. Definitely not what I was expecting.

Well... at least she looks really pretty.

 

[Miss Dalloway]

Undoubtedly gorgeous girl, but this is so underwhelming. She is obviously photogenic, so they could have done something more exciting.

I was expecting for a better and livelier editorial. It gave me the 60s vibe and held on to that but this is just as plain as it could get

 

[HeatherAnne]

I hope she's more charismatic than that on screen, zZzzZ

 

[Tinsley V]

yikes, they made her look like lea michele.

 

[kokobombon]

A little more expression on her part would´ve been nice... and something other than a white background.

WHY i she wearing Spring, Couture AND PRE-FALL! Come on guys......its April, not July...this is ridiculous.

I get a feeling that all the seasons styling mix has to do with globalization. Every mag is doing it, maybe their data says that more people from outside their own country is buying the mag and they want to appeal to a larger audience? eg it's almost fall in the southern hemisphere.

....or, just your usual fashion magazine trying to prove how ahead they are than their competitors? Let's not forget, shooting so far ahead is a privelege not afforded to just any magazine. In most cases the magazine will secure an exclusive with the house, meaning they'd be first to shoot a specific look. I'm not biased, but I find the American titles to be the worst offenders here (Vogue, Bazaar, W & Elle). And it doesnt exactly stop with the magazine. Next week we'll spot a celebrity in a autumn look, on the red carpet. The irony of course is that smaller countries will only get to showcase these looks by Aug/Sept, and by then we'll not be able to stand it any longer. I shudder to think of the amount of pressure the houses are under when a great percentage of consumers will demand advance season looks.

^ That ed with Kate is simply glorious.

 

[t-rex]

Finally something interesting has been done with Kate! She looks GORGEOUS! She has a great face and body but she's always hidden behind rock chick hair and rock chick leather...

And when was the last time she worked with Roversi? The nineties?

 

[JoCaderone]

Kate looks so STUNNING! Such a strong ed,every pic could make a decent cover

 

[dcmaike]

The one with Kate is one of the best editorials i have seen for a long time.

 

[kokobombon]

That ed with Kate is the best thing she´s done in ages imo. Love it!

[Benn98]

What a timeless edit! There really is only ONE Kate. Love every shot, she's like a mythical venus. Cannot wait to get my issue. Thanks so much, Melancholybaby!!
