W Magazine August 2015 : Taraji P. Henson by Mert Alas & Marcus Piggott

I did not recognize Doutzen
She looks like a totally different person but it is nice to see something weird .. it is interesting

Perhaps thats why I like her photo the most out of all ... because she changed into a different person

It's like they wanted a Terry Richardson ed but didn't want to hire him.

I don't think it's cheap or tacky. It's lingerie, there will always be a sexual element involved that might borderline a 'p*rn' look. It's a fashion magazine, it's needs to have fantasy. I prefer a risky editorial than a boring one.

I like the concept of the M&M ed, contrasting the lingerie with very editorial poses. Bella is my favorite too because the hair and makeup make it look like Guy Bourdin. I'm just not into lingerie really.

Not sure who Taraji is, but this cover is stunning as is the edit. Very sexual but not in a tacky way, just very sensual and love that she comes off as she's just naturally embracing it.

 

[jeremydante]

congratulations to taraji, this is major.

the editorial look very Juergen Teller im tired M&M copy the styles of other photographers

 

[darri]

Horrible editorial, i mean, awful casting models & M&M copied the Teller's style, really these men aren't creative photographers.

All This.
Plus it's just a cheaper, less creative version of their 2008 W magazine shoot called 'Pin-up', featuring a million models, also in a stolen aesthetic/concept of another photographer, that time Bettina Rheims.
Bella, Doutzen, Anna, Irina and Barbara's shots fit the 70's 'boogie nights' aesthetic best in these.
The word homage can only be used soo much when its the only thing you seem to do..

joan looks by far the best

 

[anlabe32]

I don't like the editorial. I'm not fond of the colours they used and the cast is truly awful except for Doutzen and Anna.

 

[GIVENCHYlover]

Gorgeous!!!

Must admit that W Magazine's starting to get themselves back on track, ever since Charlize Theron's cover back in May. I used to find the magazine's content so tedious but they've produced some tremendous stuff recently! The Mert & Marcus story from this issue is so fabulously trashy - I love it! Chrissy Teigen, Anna Ewers & Rosie Huntington-Whiteley completely steal the show and that's just about the best I've seen Lily Aldridge.

There's another fashion editorial titled "Now Trending" by Emma Summerton and Edward E. It features Binx, Anais Mali, Amilna, Tami Williams, Aya Jones, and one other model if I remember correctly. It's an outdoor shoot.

There's also a spread with Alexander Wang and a feature on up and coming actors.

I think that's exactly what happened, and I'm completely okay with that. Love Rosie's picture.

yes, I surprised that Lily looks so good and sexy on that editorial. Surprisingly, her shot is one of my favorite

I see the inspiration of that ed, thank you, darri.
