I like it, gives me old school W vibes with McDean

 

[Royal-Galliano]

^exactly! though the amount of negative space around sydney is too much in contrast with the text over her body.

 

[BalkaniStaCouture]

Very bad! Jeez, she is such a beautiful girl! The hair, the styling! Not good!

 

[Lucien112]

Yes to this throwback layout! No shot on iPhone vibes. No awkward cropping.

She's reminding me of Lila Moss in the cover story for some reason, and I've not thought that before about Sydney.

I absolutely love everything about this cover and photo shoot. Yes, the cover is giving 90's W vibes, especially, the styling. The other photographs are fabulous also because the styling is fun with a touch of retro and makes it exciting to look at. I hope that there is at least one fashion story inside.

Interesting, it's a modern pin-up or something

 

[Hchloe]

I like the cover. The shot with the red striped tights is giving 00s GQ.

I love this actually, Sydney carries those retro looks incredibly well and the use of colour/negative space actually makes this stand out compared to some of the barely-lit nonsense we've been seeing from other mags

 

[KoV]

I fear the selling-bathwater-soap-with-a-hole-in-the-middle has changed my perception of her 😖

I know it's a stunt/gimmick but yikes.

I love it, and even more because the cover itself resembles the glory days of W Magazine. The magazine used to excel at this type of zero-fuss cover photography, shot by the likes of Michael Thompson and Craig McDean. Everything is working here - from the composition of the shot to the strong sense of retro.

 

[Avonlea]

I don't mind a simple cover. It can be very effective when done well, but here it just looks empty and unfinished.
The ed does nothing for me. I am tired of plain backdrop studio shots. Such setting would require something more dynamic.

 

[phungnam96]

The ed is so random...

 

[Mody]

I find the excution of the cover and most of the ed photos perfect. However, why includes that photo with her posing like she was caught in a rather vunerable moment in a toilet? Like I understand her appeal to straight males, but to include that pic in an overall strong and powerful pictures just feels like for the sake of social media controversy.

 

[GivenchyHomme]

I just got the issue and there is a fabulous swimsuit story with all black models that looks like something from the early 00's. There is also a celebrity feature with some Jurgen style shots in NYC. It's a small issue, but I enjoyed it. Here are some previews.
