[Alien Sex Friend]

As much as I hate Grace Coddington styling, I hate more only her recent styling with messy red hair which imitates herself back in a day: no matter who shot it (this time it’s jamie) it always looks like Craig McDean with whom she works the most, and it’s always Rianne, a matted felt of fiery hair on her head and that oldschool awkward silhouette shot in the streets. I guess we had enough of this.

[Phuel]

Jamie’s story is the only worthy one-- down to its thick white borders that give a perfect vintagey sheen. That Rianne may be unofficially low-key made up to resemble Grace is so effortlessly and slyly too good. Still waiting for that epic shoot where Karen is cosplaying as Grace, alongside Grace…

Very disappointed with the Anna shoot that’s giving generic 3rd-rate beauty/jewelry shoot from Mega Magazine, when it could have been so much more.

Bella’s face is frightening starting to show its past-expiration date. She’s really giving Jocelyn Wildenstein face.

Hmmm...unsure about this issue. My initial impression is that overall the content of this issue is weaker than any of the previous issues from the past year. Feels like perhaps a little bit of a step back; the casting certainly feels a bit flat.

I suppose Jamie's edit is quite charming; initially when I looked at the thumbnails I thought it was another cliché Grace edit but the images grab your attention when you look through them one by one.

Ben Bruno needs to start working with someone else besides Sims. I don't mind that edit but it's rather uneven and reeks of pretension. He's helped deliver by styling strong looks at Loewe fairly consistently for the past 3 years but I'm not particularly convinced by his editorials in that time.

No words for Bella's edit. Really terrible styling- quite a shock coming from Brian Molloy, who's become very consistent with his stories at W until now. And this is surely not the way for Bella to (try and) make a comeback? I'd hope not at least!

Thanks for sharing with us as ever Zorka, I always appreciate it even if I don't say it!
