W Magazine Volume #3 2022 : Lana Del Rey by Jamie Hawkesworth

[Cocteau Stone]

Raquel here is gorgeous, and like her Vogue France, I like it because it's her. She's also making up for what I think are terrible clothes. I hate the current Alaïa, but just imagine an editorial like this with Alaïa's Alaïa and a fantastic Alaïa shoe! Oh if only...
This is the best editorial Pavarotti has done though so hopefully he changes the team a little more frequently with coming work. I am a little mad that of all the movement Raquel brought to that bodysuit shot, this is the one they settled with.

With Sadil's edit, I don't really get what it is trying to do. All I can think is with the lighting effects, it is a really poor version of the FANTASTIC Nick Knight shoot with Shalom Harlow.

Everything else is just there.

Raquel in W hmmmmm

what about the articles. Anything cool?

An article about the state of male rock star style, a Nick Cave exhibition, Hubert de Givenchy's homes

Tremendous editorial with Raquel Zimmermann! What a truly superb model she is, love the dynamic posing. I'm becoming more and more a fan of Rafael Pavarotti's work and all the Alaïa just makes me love this story even more. Nothing short of perfection.

I do love me some Anna Ewers and Karim Sadli, but Raquel by Pavarotti leaves everything else this issue has to offer in the dust!
