Fabulous colors! It all comes together very nicely, and Adut looks stunning with that soft smile.

 

[aracic]

Oh, this is beautiful! Easily my favorite cover of hers. It's very radiant and indeed joyful.

WSJ showing up everyone else, for March.

 

[Srdjan]

I find it so pedestrian (pun intended).

 

[JPineapple]

Beautiful! Always here for Adut’s face

 

[Miss Dalloway]

How goreous, so i guess some still do care.

 

[Benn98]

I find it so pedestrian.

Terribly, to the point that it looks like a glorified catalogue shot! From the styling to the fake-looking background to her smile.

Also, I'm quite versed with beret style and no black woman would ever wear a beret like that.

^^^ It’s very JC Penney strolling-with-a-smile-at-the-camera, isn’t it? The next shot will be her tossing that beret into the air and fake-laughing. At best, it’s that brand of Scott Schuman contrived street photography circa2007. I'd expect better from Mikael.

Stunning! So joyful and eye-catching. I love pretty much everything WSJ are doing, the results are usually gorgeous and this is no exception.

 

[Urban Stylin]

Love it! It's true it looks like a catalogue but more of a vintage catalogue very sophisticated.

I love it! Great use of colours and light!

 

[MON]

It could have been better.

Love the colors. That's it.

This cover is a disservice to Adut's gorgeous face. That lighting is criminal.

 

[Phuel]

Every single shot in the story is stronger and has more energy and looks more expensive than the covershot.

 

[dodencebt]

So stunning! I love it when editorials actually sell me clothes because I want everything.

 

[caioherrero]

Do they only publish only one ed per issue?

Bulg* alert!!! Hahaha. Beautiful editorial. I love the direction of these magazines like Edit or T magazine

 

[JPineapple]

Bulg* alert!!!

I'm screaming.

Oh, Mikael Jansson knocks it out the park once again - and WSJ Magazine for that matter! This cover feels like a ray of sunshine. Always an absolute pleasure to see Adut Akech and the colours in the cover shot and throughout the feature are just glorious.
