W Korea May 2016 : Bella Hadid by Terry Richardson

Easily her most ugliest covers to date. What have they done to her face? Oh and the 2nd cover features such a weird angle. Too coy for Terry, can almost imagine him preferring an open leg shot instead.

In a way I can deal with Bella's career direction - let her build up momentum and practice with these smaller covers and edits. So that by the time she gets to Vogue at least she'll be a bit more developed than the others.
 
I expected so much better
 
She looks stunning to me on both covers, these are expected Terry Richardson images.
 
This is a no for me. Bella's face looks weird and the styling doesn't help. I like the first cover more than the second though.
 
The second one it's not so bad but I really can't believe that anybody want to work with Terry.

Thanks guys for posting the edit.

Terry sucks. As a human and as a fashion photographer. He’s clearly run out of any resemblance of creativity. where once his imagery was irreverent, even graphically sharp— it’s now flat and lacking any kind of energy. Why not give a young photographer with fresh ideas and even vision a chance, W Korea? I guess these licensed offshoots of their flagship publications will keep the likes of Terry employed on brand alone, unfortunately.

I guess the weak selections for the covers can’t be helped considering the selection. Even many lookbook shoots have as stronger fashion direction and story concept than this banality. The fashion direction sucks. The flat lighting sucks and makes Bella resemble some depressed drag-version of Liv Taylor at best— at worst, she just looks sad. The red W masthead is so harsh with that annoying blue digitally-produced seamless.

So much suckage.

Really? It's W Korea. This is pretty much par for the course with their covers.
 
Wow, such a snoozefest!! It has that empty and pointless feel of an American Harper's Bazaar editorial.
