Gigi looks so much like Candice Swanepoel on her cover, but I like it. I think it’s my favorite of the covers. As for the shoots overall:

Anok > Gigi > Liu > Mona > Kendall > Kaia

 

[Zposen]

I am going to have to go with Anok for both cover and editorial.

Kendall did not want to be there. 2 hours tops before she left.

Anok has the strongest editorial despite the meh cover.

I don't understand Sara Moonves' obsession with celebrities when her model focused issues for W clearly feel a lot more genuine, even though they're heavily referential - last year we had the redo of Michael Thompson's classic model portrait and now we have a throwback to 2008 Mert and Marcus' glam.

Gigi and Liu's covers and editorials are the best for me because strong styling is so pivotal to good fashion imagery and MAS is heads and shoulders above the other two women who styled here. However Kaia and Anok's editorials have some nice shots in the mix as well.

I just want to know the status of Mert and Marcus.

I just want to know the status of Mert and Marcus.

Me too. In the name of god does anyone know anythig more than a rumor please???????

 

[matheus_s]

The magazine is already out? Does anyone know?

 

[WAVES]

Kendall’s second shot zoomed out would’ve been a killer cover. finally some emotion!

my fave one is Liu’s and how coming full throttle this season!

 

[Velasco]

Love them all but Anok is slaying!

 

[russianelf]

Usually don't care about Gigi nor Kendall, but I'm afraid they ate. Gigi has the best cover hands down, while Anok has the best editorial.

 

[tomtakesphotos]

Gigi editorial is incredible, reminding us shes a star

 

[Squizree]

When does it go on sale?

Terrific to see W Magazine back on full form, and feels like Christmas has came early with the massive 'fashion!' splashed across the cover, in addition to the rather terrific selection of covers. The art direction immediately transported me back to 2008 (in the very best way). Out of all the six covers, Gigi's is my most fave.

I can’t quite put my finger on why, but something about this issue isn’t doing it for me. I see why others like it, but I don’t know… it seems too reliant on the past? It has all the ingredients, but that’s it. Maybe it’s too on the nose.
