She wants to do anything but release an album!

I am surprised how good this cover photograph by Rihanna looks. Everything works perfectly as a whole. The color palette is beautiful and soothing to the eye.

Here we go…

Anyone could have snapped this photo. I’d say don’t quit your day job but it seems she already has.

I have never, and will never understand his appeal. Never.
Why is he on the cover of W, in celebration of "originals"?
The cover image is fine tho.

the volume #5 is not the Art Issue? Or they Will release a volume #6? I dont remember this so well. Hate the “volume” thing

There will be a final volume this year, volume #6. However, I do not know if it will be the Art issue.

Should've been a couple cover, family photo cover would've been fun.

This is good!! I actually like the pictures!! Is it ground breaking?! No!! But it works!! Don’t care much about ASAP but Rihanna did well haha

Who's asking for this? I'd much prefer to see Rihanna (on her lonesome) on the cover of W Magazine, not Rihanna photographing ASAP Rocky, who I genuinely couldn't care less about. This feels like a total non-event and a massive WASTE.

I agree. With so many celebrities (if not models) that they could profile, this is a weird choice. Not a fan of the cover subject either.

 

[A.D.C.]

Let’s see… How can we incorporate Rihanna into this somehow?? We see you W.

They are decent pictures well composed and graded and work for his image which is not typical rapper but more of a fashion forward rapper. On the other hand it makes it seem like he's riding off her name and has to have some association to her to make an impact or get such gigs. Not sure it works for him in that aspect.

 

[TerraVera]

considering he was just announced as on of the co-chairs for the MET GALA and the theme being Black Dandyism, this is good timing and probably why he got the cover: early publicity

if the court case settles in his favor, he might be able to attend.

If she really did shoot this, and wasn't ghost-shot by a dozen assistants, then Rihanna is actually a more talented photographer than many so-called photographers working in the industry. She has an effortless eye for composition— unlike so many of these other new hyped photographers. Just wished she had shot Binx instead and left A$ap to Tyler’s just-stand-there minimum efforts tha

The other 2 stories would be what ModelMayhem circa 2007 would produce if it had a magazine. So obnoxiously amateur— just like the composite sheet layout.

There is also a beautiful/minimal 12-page beauty editorial in front of the issue titled "Go with the Glow." It features model Karolina Spakowski photographed by Senta Simond. Makeup is by Lucia Pica. It is my personal favorite story in the issue.
