Subsequent to being installed as head of editorial content at Vogue Italia, Francesca Ragazzi has undoubtedly made an effort to support and champion homegrown talent. A whole new generation of Italian models graced the February issue while the likes of Benedetta Porcaroli, Matilda De Angelis, Vittoria Ceretti, Donatella Versace and Chiara Ferragni have covered the Italian fashion bible throughout Ragazzi’s tenure. For Vogue Italia’s digital offering for June 2024, Laura Pausini makes an appearance via the lens of Sebastián Faena. The celebrated Italian singer-songwriter poses on the cover to commemorate her 50th birthday, and strikes a pose beofre Faena’s lens wearing a look from Peter Hawkings’ debut Tom Ford collection for Spring 2024.

Read below the reactions of theFashionSpot’s forum members:

“Good god, I can’t even look at Vogue Italia anymore,” cried out aracic.

“This team is clueless, not worthy of our comments anymore,” declared an unamused ah ah.

“Poor Laura,” shrieked Alquimista, also suggest the shoot wasn’t up to scratch.

Xone wasn’t buying it either, expressing: “I’m sure a local talent would’ve made this much much better!”

“I am not familiar with Laura Pausini’s music but from photos she seems to be photogenic and have great style. Nsure how they ended up with that cover,” Urban Stylin chimed in.

” She should have stared deeply into the camera and it would’ve been a good cover,” shared oaklee91.

Yet not everyone was so disappointed. “No clue who Laura Pausini is, and at first glance I thought this was Béatrice Dalle. Quite like the cover though, by no means is it the worst Vogue Italia cover I’ve came across and I like the sense of retro I’m getting from it,” defended vogue28.

You can imagine our excitement and complete bewilderment, subsequent to a slew of deeply unimpressive covers starring Solange Knowles, Lana Del Rey and Leanne de Haan over recent months, when covers of Harper’s Bazaar with Regina King, Anok Yai and Christy Turlington began to rock our world. It appears, however, things are back to square one with the unveiling of Bazaar‘s depressing and lifeless-looking double June/July 2024 cover. Samira Nasr welcomes Emma Corrin as cover star for the occasion, who captured by photographer Sam Rock, is dressed by the mag’s newly-installed style director Carlos Nazario in a Miu Miu vest top and briefs (Miu Miu being, of course, a brand to which Corrin is brand ambassador).

Read below the reactions of theFashionSpot’s forum members:

“This? After Regina and Anok’s successful covers? No, thank you,” crmsn immediately disapproved.

“Honestly, I was rooting so hard for American Harper’s Bazaar. I see we’re back to square one here. Dumbfounded over Samira Nasr expecting people to part with their hard-earned money for such an abysmal cover. Where’s the allure? Where’s the charm?” asked vogue28.

MModa wasn’t buying it either, declaring: “This dud of a cover sums up the editor’s aesthetic.”

Also deeply unimpressed was NYLA22, voicing: “When I see covers like this, it makes me think that editors are making magazines for themselves. Harper’s Bazaar is a mass, mainstream fashion publication and I don’t really know who this is for!”

“Was really hoping that woke fashion mag covers were finally behind us. Guess not,” sighed Handbag Queen.

“Honestly with a different look, it could have been lovely. This dull beige Miu Miu set is not helping,” commented forum member GivenchyAddict.

You’re about to see a whole lot more of Kate Moss down at your local newsstand. After all, the powers that be at Condé Nast are making full use of their recent fashion story with the iconic Brit model, from the pages of British Vogue‘s May 2024 installment. Said shoot, lensed by Nikolai von Bismarck, has since turned up on the covers of Vogue Germany, Vogue Taiwan and now Vogue Japan. As opposed to her German and Taiwanese counterparts who opted for a photograph of Kate in full-color, Japanese Vogue‘s Tiffany Godoy selected a black and white shot the current face of Fendi, Balenciaga and Anine Bing for June 2024. In the classic and timeless portrait, Moss (who appeared on the magazine’s inaugural issue for September 1999 and was last on the cover in April 2012) is dressed by Kate Phelan in Chanel.

Read below the reactions of theFashionSpot’s forum members:

“My favorite of the [recent] Kate Moss covers,” instantly approved kokobombon.

“I’ve found all three covers of Vogue with Kate by Nikolai von Bismark to be solid. One of the very rare occasions in which I’m able to stomach Condé Nast’s shared content strategy. I love the look of this, can appreciate the use of the black and white and the soft lilac masthead which complements the shot beautifully. It’s all just so well done,” commended vogue28.

Also an admirer was forum member jeremydante: “This is pretty. I love this angle and the hair.”

Not everyone, however, with in agreement. “I see they went for a painting instead of a photo. Creative,” voiced Alquimista, suggesting some serious post-production has occurred.

“I miss the old Vogue Japan/Nippon,” sighed MON.

Nina Garcia stays winning at American ELLE. After all, Garcia (who has served as editor-in-chief since 2017) continues to secure the crème de la crème of the world of fashion and entertainment as the magazine’s cover stars. Everyone from Vittoria Ceretti and Nicole Kidman to Irina Shayk and Dua Lipa have graced the Hearst-owned title of late, with Anya Taylor-Joy added to the list with the unveiling of ELLE‘s double June/July 2024 edition. Garcia welcomes the actress and star of George Miller’s Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga three years after her last, to pose for photographer Dan Martensen and get dressed up by stylist Anastasia Barbieri. In cover one (below), Taylor-Joy poses in a multi-colored dress from Bottega Veneta’s Pre-Fall 2024 collection. For the second, black and white cover (after the jump), the red carpet maven wears a Givenchy Pre-Fall 2024 leather and lace dress teamed with a pair of boots from Victoria Beckham.

Read below the reactions of theFashionSpot’s forum members:

“Gorgeous. Anya Taylor-Joy is, as always, fantastic,” applauded WAVES.

“Second cover is gorgeous. Colors, composition and typography are perfect,” raved Alquimista.

MModa commented: “Both are good covers but I like the one with the colorful striped sweater. The colors work so well together and are pleasant to the eye.”

“ELLE has been the best of the mainstream American fashion mags lately,” NYLA22 enthused.

Phuel shared the exact same sentiments, echoing: “ELLE easily stomps all over Vogue these days!”

Yet not everyone was so forthcoming. “Nothing says ‘June/July issue’ quite like the cover star bundled up indoors wearing a big fuzzy turtleneck in holiday colors,” critiqued KoV.

“My least favorite covers of American ELLE in what feels like a very VERY long time. Massively underwhelmed by this. Not a fan of how cold, lifeless and sterile it’s all looking for a double June/July offering. Dan Martensen’s photography and Anastasia Barbieri is amateur beyond belief here!” voiced vogue28.

British Vogue‘s newly-installed head of editorial content Chioma Nnadi is now three issues into her tenure. Yet to state covers over recent months have flopped (hard) would be a major overstatement. Not even covers starring FKA Twigs and Zendaya have managed to impress us here at theFashionSpot. Next up on Nnadi’s list of cover conquests is Sophie Turner, who graces the British fashion bible’s June 2024 offering. The English actress, whose first Vogue cover appearance was on Vogue China‘s July 2019 edition, poses for Mikael Jansson. Styled by Camilla Nickerson on British Vogue‘s latest, the long-standing Louis Vuitton brand ambassador wears a look from Nicolas Ghesquière’s Pre-Fall 2024 collection in the cover shot.

Read below the reactions of theFashionSpot’s forum members:

“Very random choice. Sophie Turner hasn’t really done anything since Game of Thrones,” voiced HodanChloe.

“Drab, lifeless and a complete non-event of a cover. Chioma Nnadi’s British Vogue has, so far, left me massively underwhelmed,” critiqued vogue28.

Aracic couldn’t have agreed more, echoing: “Another horrid cover from Nnadi!”

“Cover feels like they had two minutes in a hotel room against a blank wall before an event,” discredited an underwhelmed RMDV.

“What a waste of Mikael Jansson!” exclaimed crmsn.

“Surprised this is by Mikael Jansson, it’s horrible. I haven’t even read last month’s issue yet because that cover [with Zendaya] is just so bad and this isn’t much better. It looks very very cheap,” LastNight chimed in.

“This is a poorly cropped image of a person who is the ‘happiest’ they’ve been for ages, despite looking miserable as sin,” voiced tigerrouge.
