Month: March 2022

Our love/hate relationship with Samira Nasr continues with every issue of Harper’s Bazaar. Despite managing to secure A-list talent for the magazine’s front covers, we haven’t been thrilled with recent offerings featuring Venus and Serena Williams, Nicole Kidman and Beyoncé. Although we adored covers with Hunter Schafer and Tracee Ellis Ross. Now Renée Zellweger returns to the mag. The actress was last profiled for the publication way back in 2007. Renée rocks Louis Vuitton for cover one (below) and poses in Celine for cover two (after the jump) before the lens of photographer Mel Bles.

As usual, members of our forums aren’t sold. “Million times better than last month, but not good,” confessed caioherrero.

“Dreadful,” declared mikel.

“Samira Nasr’s styling is subpar, she should have let other better stylists do the job. I’ve already moved on from Samira. Her tenure feels … Read more

During Nicolas Ghesquière’s career at Louis Vuitton, we’ve witnessed everyone from Bruce Weber to Steven Meisel to Collier Schorr to Patrick Demarchelier serve as the brand’s campaign photographer. Recently, the label seems to have settled on David Sims. Following last season‘s triumphant offering captured on the majestic pebbled beaches of Normandy, we’re back in the comfort of the studio for Spring 2022. Actresses HoYeon Jung, Stacy Martin and Samara Weaving appear alongside journalist Agathe Rousselle, singer Lous and the Yakuza plus models Mona Tougaard, Kristine Lindseth, Rianne Van Rompaey, Fleur Breijer, Ida Heiner and Chu Wong all posing against colorful backdrops.

In the eyes of our forum members, however, this season feels like a huge setback. “Even looking past those clip art lens flares, this is awful,” WinstonH20 expressed the moment the campaign dropped.

“I hate the tacky lens flare, like who thought that was a good … Read more

Nina Garcia continues to make big moves at American ELLE rivaling Vogue and Harper’s Bazaar month after month. Over the last three months alone, covers starring Kaia Gerber, Grace Elizabeth and Zoë Kravitz made us dash to newsstands. Now model-of-the-moment Precious Lee serves as the magazine’s April 2022 cover star appearing on not one but three stellar covers. Shot by Adrienne Raquel with Patti Wilson on styling duties, the Atlanta native and favorite of Donatella Versace wears Moschino for the first two electrifying covers and a mix of Bottega Veneta and AZ Factory for the third.

Needless to say, members of our forums were immediately smitten. “I love it, so happy for Precious!” raved Serend1pity.

“This is the best way to portray body diversity in the industry with glamour and irresistible fashion,” declared ivano.

“Radiant presence in front of the camera. A true star,” said … Read more
