“AMAZING! Welcome back Steven Meisel!” MON posted.
“I have no words for this, best Vogue cover this year,” jmrmartinho commented. “It’s so edgy and haunting. The way the models are positioned almost reminds me of a horror movie. This is impressive and it’s why I still believe in Meisel.”
“I adore this cover, the girls look fierce as HELL!!!” Zephons declared. “Very dark and gothic!”
YoninahAliza agreed, pointing out that dark and gothic are areas where Vogue Italia excels. “Wow! Now that’s how you do a Vogue cover! It seems to me that Vogue Italia is often at its best when it does moody covers; they usually end up being quite striking.”
This certainly isn’t your typical July cover. We’ve seen citrus hues, models playing in the surf and laying by the pool, but this is the first (and probably the most unexpected) group of models clad in black gowns posing on the saddest swing set you’ll ever see in a concrete room. It sounds terrible, but as you can see, it’s awesome, and exactly what we didn’t know we were missing.
