Here on theFashionSpot, we’re always down for being completely enthralled and bewitched by a magazine which doesn’t stimulate our interest on the regular. This month, London-based biannual title Marfa Journal has our undivided attention, as the publication’s editor and founder Alexandra Gordienko welcomes Agyness Deyn back into the fold, fresh from an appearance at Burberry’s Fall 2024 showcase during London Fashion Week. Gordienko, a Central Saint Martin’s graduate who founded Marfa Journal in 2013, commissioned forum favorite Ethan James Green to document the British model, with the Issue 21’s cover shoot complete with styling from Emma Alix Wyman. Deyn strikes a handful of poses within Green’s studio in the dynamic cover shot, prancing about in an all-black look from Nicolas Ghesquière’s Spring 2024 Louis Vuitton collection.

Read below the reactions of theFashionSpot’s forum members:

“Oh, Ethan! Giving us what Steven Meisel won’t, I guess. Fabulous,” heralded aracic.

“Vogue could never. Absolutely loving this, easily one of the best covers/fashion shoots I’ve come across this whole entire month. Wonderful to see Agyness Deyn and I will always be down for Ethan James Green doing his best Steven Meisel impersonation,” vogue28 enthused.

Also equally as impressed was Scotty: “I love it. The Meisel treatment with actual proper models! We need Snejana Onopka by EJG now!”

“I’m happy to see Agyness Deyn back and it’s no novelty that EJG is following on Meisel’s footsteps in terms of photography,” noted WAVES.

“So happy to see Agyness back,” Bertrando3 heralded.

Not everyone, however, was so forthcoming. “I could never warm up to Agyness when she was happening. Something about her just annoys me and I can’t figure out what it is,” shared Cocteau Stone.

Ethan James Green is proving to be a match made in heaven as one of Louis Vuitton’s campaign photographers, with campaigns since the Spring 2022 season becoming an instant hit. The American photographer is called upon by Vuitton’s creative director Nicolas Ghesquière on the regular, having shot everyone from Deepika Padukone and Léa Seydoux to Phoebe Dynevor and Naomi Osaka for the famed French fashion house. EJG teams up with stylist Marie-Amélie Sauvé with the unveiling of Louis Vuitton’s latest campaign offering, shining a spotlight upon a selection of the brand’s leather goods pieces (including the Capucines, GO-14 and Side Trunk styles). Models Ida Heiner, Sacha Quenby and Chu Wong assemble before EJG’s lens, and pose on a luxurious sail boat against a sublime and serene seascape.

Read below the reactions of theFashionSpot’s forum members:

“Love it, it is so fresh and beautiful. Gives me totally summer vibes,” admired Bombshell1.

“Very beautiful! Marie-Amelie Sauvé did her thing!” applauded Lola701.

Vogue28 shared the sentiments, commenting: “Absolutely spectacular! This, this right here, is precisely the type and style of advertising campaigns I love from Louis Vuitton. Another beautifully shot campaign from EJG, who has become the perfect match for Vuitton. The casting is terrific, the girls look flawless. The setting is beautiful and I love how poised, refined and aspirational it is.”

“Simply WOW! This is amazing,” Bombshell1 expressed upon returning to the thread and checking out more campaign imagery.

Is Carlos Nazario about to become the saving grace of Harper’s Bazaar? After a slew of unimpressive and deeply underwhelming covers, it’s sure starting to shape up that way, as the magazine’s newly-installed style director starts to implement his magic. Following a Regina King cover last month (declared Bazaar‘s “best cover” in years), the title’s annual issue dedicated to all-things beauty is here. Since taking up the mantle as editor, Samira Nasr has made it a tradition to feature models on the magazine’s May issues – and the year 2024 is no different. Nasr’s selections for May 2024 are Anok Yai and Christy Turlington, who pose for photographer Ethan James Green across a pair of flawless covers, both styled by Nazario. In cover one (below), Anok strikes a pose in a vest and skirt from Christian Dior while Christy is all smiles in a shearling coat and floral lace bodysuit from Saint Laurent (after the jump).

Read below the reactions of theFashionSpot’s forum members:

“I’m so proud of Samira! A cover with someone SMILING on it!!! She’s getting there.” applauded blueorchid.

“WOW, Christy is bringing back the magic I need and used to love from fashion magazines in the 90s! She’s so glam, she looks perfect, amazing hair and makeup: very Revlon! This is what I want to see from fashion worldwide: models with personality, power, sex appeal and beauty,” enthused Bertrando3.

“Christy’s cover emits good energy but the cover with Anok is just flawless,” stated Srdjan.

“Anok’s cover is stunningly-beautiful with her makeup, making it a perfect fit for this beauty issue,” admired forum member Kenny.

Alquimista shared the same enthusiasm, adding: “Love everything. Beautiful covers and both models look radiant.”

“These two covers bring me so much LIFE! Absolutely living for Carlos Nazario at Harper’s Bazaar. Nazario has, without question, breathed some much-needed life back into the magazine. These two covers with Anok and Christy are both absolutely immaculate. I genuinely think I’d have a hard time down at the newsstand walking away with just one,” shared vogue28.

The two accompanying cover stories are a total must-see. See more of Anok Yai and Christy Turlington as Harper’s Bazaar‘s April 2024 cover stars and join the standing ovation, here.

Nicholas Ghesquière continues to entrust Ethan James Green with his vision at Louis Vuitton, commissioning the photographer on the regular to shoot the storied French fashion house’s numerous advertising campaigns. It started back in early 2022, when the American photographer captured HoYoen Jung for the brand’s Twist handbag campaign and assignments since have included profiling the likes of Deepika Padukone, Naomi Osaka and Léa Seydoux for an array of Vuitton fashion spots. Green is back once again to capture a fresh batch of LV ambassadors and friends of the house, this time for the LV Remix campaign and photographing Phoebe Dynevor, Ouyang Nana, Lous and the Yaukza and Shay Mitchell, who each pose against a brightly-lit and flashy backdrop throughout the Y2K-inspired campaign.

Read below the reactions of theFashionSpot’s forum members:

“Not half bad, for a Sketchers campaign,” laughed KoV the moment the campaign struck.

“Photographed by Midjourney,” chimed in an unamused avonlea002.

Urban Stylin wasn’t completely on the end result either, pointing out: “This looks like what you would find in a pre-teen magazine in the 2000s!”

“What was the point of booking Ethan James Green for this?” asked tFS forum member upNorth.

Not everyone, however, was in the same frame of mind. “Admittedly not the most superior campaign imagery I’ve seen from Louis Vuitton. However, I do believe the whole mood of the campaign echoes the vibe of the collection perfectly. The whole setting feels like early 00s music videos and I’m able to appreciate a fresh batch of LV brand ambassadors here, as opposed to the usual suspects…” reasoned vogue28.

Since 1992, it has been common knowledge that Sofia Coppola is capable of delivering stellar magazine covers (when Steven Meisel first photographed Coppola for Vogue Italia). Since that time, we’ve witnessed the American film director and screenwriter take to the covers of Vogue Paris, The Gentlewoman, WSJ. Magazine, AnOther and W Magazine (to name a select few) with stellar results. M Le Magazine du Monde is Coppola’s latest cover conquest, to which she poses before the lens of photographer Ethan James Green. In the chic and timeless black and white cover portrait, stylist Sydney Rose Thomas selected a black tweed Chanel Jacket, a white t-shirt from Miu Miu and a pair of Levi’s for Sofia to wear, which adds to the charm and sense of understated elegance. We are OBSESSED.

Read below the reactions of theFashionSpot’s forum members:

“Super boring and basic, but that’s kind of who she is. Love her Chanel jacket though,” voiced mepps.

“I love her but I wish it was more lively!” Lola701 wrote.

“I love how consistent Coppola’s style has been for the last 25-30 years. No matter who photographs her, the publication in which she appears, or the brands she’s wearing (Chanel on Chanel on Chanel these days, but it’s not always been the case), she always looks completely herself, and in command of her own image,” admired forum member KoV.

Vogue28 raved: “I think this is just delightful, love every single element to this whole cover shoot from the fact Sofia posed for Ethan James Green to the Chanel jacket and Levi’s jeans combo on the cover. The whole entire cover shoot is so elegant, tasteful and classy – Sofia Coppola personified, IMO. Vogue nowadays could never!”

You will not need reminding that here at theFashionSpot, we have been LIVING for the resurgence of Linda Evangelista. From the highly-anticipated The Super Models docuseries on AppleTV+ to surprises appearances on the likes of WSJ. Magazine and The Sunday Times Style – our forums have been lapping it up. The iconic fashion model’s most recent addition to her remarkable body of work which spans decades, is for The Travel Almanac. Linda teams up with photographer-of-the-moment Ethan James Green for the occasion, and is dressed by stylist Clare Byrne in Tommy Hilfiger for cover one (below). In the second limited edition cover (after the jump), Linda serves nothing but pure unapologetic vintage glamour.

Of course, anything Linda-related set out forums ablaze with conversation. “A great cover photograph!” heralded forum member MModa.

“I am going to praise it to high heaven because it’s Linda. Her ability to morph, transform, and project is incredible. Not many like her, past or present,” applauded Velasco.

“I love it. Linda Evangelista knows her craft,” kokobombon stated.

“Absolutely divine! Genuinely feel like Christmas has come early with so much splendor and surprise. The two covers are equally as gorgeous as each other but I am rather drawn to the vintage glamour of the second. You’ll never EVER hear me complaining at the sight of Ethan James Green doing his best Steven Meisel impersonation either…” raved vogue28.

Thiago expressed: “Love this but can’t help but think… Meisel on a budget!”

“Ethan will always be Meisel on a budget,” replied WinstonH20. “The results are always serviceable. Not great, but serviceable.”

There is perhaps no other fashion house on the planet, with as many brand ambassadors as Louis Vuitton and the storied French fashion house is making full use of their ambassadors with the unveiling of its latest handbag advertising campaign. Throwing Chinese actress Elaine Zhong into the mix, ambassadors HoYeon Jung, Deepika Padukone and Léa Seydoux the campaign echoes the values of Vuitton’s mainline Fall 2023 advertising campaign, in an alluring homage to Parisian elegance. Throughout the series of campaign images lensed by photographer Ethan James Green, the ladies were photographed around various different locations within the French capital – toting an array of Louis Vuitton’s GO-14 and Capucines handbag styles.

However, despite the team’s best efforts creating the campaign, members of theFashionSpot forums weren’t so impressed. “It’s giving Michael Kors,” exclaimed BlueRuin.
“If they added a jet, it could have been Michael Kors. But Léa looks great,” chimed in TaylorBinque.
“It’s giving Emily in Paris,” laughed 90sFan.
“WAIT! Is Louis Vuitton a FRENCH brand? You’d never know,” eye rolled forum member Kite.
Kasper simply wasn’t feeling it, commenting: “Even Furla ads are better than this. So dumb.”
“The ones with the Paris backdrops look so poorly Photoshopped,” pointed out Marc10.
Yet not everyone was of the same mind. “For me, Léa Seydoux’s campaign images are the best – love that intense stare of hers. As someone who isn’t French but truly adores all-things France and Parisienne, I am a little bit in love with this to be completely honest. The whole campaign just feels fresh and revitalizing, if admittedly a little… Photoshopped,” confessed vogue28.

WSJ. Magazine remains the gift that keeps on giving. Make no mistake that the magazine surpasses each and every mainstream fashion title currently on display down at your local newsstand, especially when covers featuring the likes of Jennifer Aniston and Linda Evangelista are thrown our way. The magazine’s content is just as superior as their covers, and one of the publication’s fashion stories from the October 2023 issue has caught the attention of our forum members. Give it up for Raquel Zimmermann posing for Ethan James Green, decked out in this season’s fashion by stylist Charlotte Collet for a story inspired by 90s rave culture. In the opening shot of the editorial (below), the Brazilian beauty and firm forum fave can be found working a mashup of Hermès and Isabel Marant and flashes of electric blue running through her long blonde hair.

The end result went down an absolute treat with members of our forums. “IN LOVE! So much early 00s US Vogue vibes that I’m dying over,” raved kokobombon.
“The whole editorial reminds me of a very bare bones of ‘Rock the House‘ by Steven Meisel from US Vogue December 1999. I guess it was on the moodboard?” asked WinstonH20.
“Apparently EJG had the ‘Skin on Skin‘ editorial on his mood board too,” chimed in thiago.
“I’m someone who wants OTT glamour 99.9% of the time but I am 100% here for this, and just like everyone else, I’m transported back to the glory days of American Vogue. Ethan James Green doing his best Steven Meisel impersonation will always be a win-win with me, and when you throw in Raquel Zimmerman… it’s love at first sight,” vogue28 enthused.
“Raquel is an incredible model, even though she’s not that good as a cover girl, this one worked… I like it!” DK92 approved.
Bertrando3 was also very much a fan, commenting: “LOOOOOOVE RAQUEL! She looks… WOW! I love the cover, great hair and makeup too.”

For years, Michael Kors has had just two photographers on speed dial to lens his various advertising campaigns. Season after season, Inez van Lamsweerde & Vinoodh Matadin and Lachlan Bailey have been firm favorites of the American designer – until now. In a bold attempt to switch things up, the unveiling of the brand’s Empire Signature Logo handbag collection for Fall 2023 sees Ethan James Green commissioned to capture the accompanying campaign. The change also sees American beauty Grace Elizabeth become the face of Michael Kors’ new monogram print, which has been splashed across a handful of Kors staples – including the Mila, Jet Set, Parker and Voyager handbag styles. Throughout the fresh, vibrant and joyous campaign series which feels like a breath of fresh air, Grace dazzles, delights and totally charms EJG’s lens, looking natural, effortless and fresh-faced and here at theFashionSpot, we’re giving it 10s across the board.

Members of our forums immediately sang the campaign’s praises loud and clear. “Grace looks soooo stunning,” raved Ihhbl.
“She looks fabulous!” echoed thiago.
“Sure, companies can hire someone for their family connections, but they’ll never be able to recreate the magic that happens between the camera and someone who was born to model,” commended tigerrouge, touching upon the terrific casting of a model like Grace Elizabeth.
Also very much a fan was TaylorBinque: “I love this. The vibes are contagious. It’s pretty good for mid market handbag campaign.”
“Ethan James Green doing his best Steven Meisel impersonation (and succeeding) will always remain a winning formula, IMO. I am instantly transported back to Meisel’s studio stories for American Vogue with this, and I’m OBSESSED. This campaign just radiates a warmth and freshness that I love,” voiced vogue28.

Back in Fall 2022, Ian Griffiths ditched Steven Meisel as Max Mara’s campaign photographer, in favor of Ethan James Green. Until recently, Meisel had captured the Italian high-end fashion label’s advertising campaign for years and the changing of the guard remains in full effect for the Fall 2023 season, as EJG is welcomed back once again. Now shooting his third consecutive campaign for Max Mara, the American model-turned-photographer remains inside his photographic studio, and shoots models Imaan Hammam and Karolina Spakowksi. The campaign is complete with Tonne Goodman styling out the girls in Griffiths’ ultra-chic and luxurious collection boasting rich cashmere, wool and leather.

Something, however, appeared a little off through the eyes of our forum members. “Karolina looks like an AI creation,” shrieked mikel.
“They Photoshopped Karolina’s face to look like Rebecca Romjin’s. I guess Ethan has also taken on the excess on Meisel’s current post-production with gusto,” noted Cocteau Stone.
“The amount of Photoshop used on this image is ridiculous, did he take lessons from Luigi & Iango?” asked FashionPower.
“Looks like an American Vogue editorial, not a campaign. The smiling made it commercial. And not in a good way,” jeremydante voiced.
Yet not everyone was so unforgiving. “The suspicious Photoshop activity aside, I’m liking what I see thus far! It’s Ethan James Green doing his best Steven Meisel impression, feels quintessential Max Mara and the inclusion of Imaan Hammam is just the icing on the cake,” commented vogue28.
