“Easily the most stale cover they’ve had in ages, Lexi’s face looks like a reject from two months ago and all the other girls look ‘shopped to the max. The film is dripping with pretense; apathetic models hanging around in a bar, looking void and hollow while the voice is supposed to add a layer of depth but does not connect to the images. What a terrible disappointment,” commented Vitamine W.
loladonna was on the same wavelength: “Nobody is ‘killing it’ on this cover. Everyone looks bored and the direction and composition is beyond lazy.”
“Exactly, everyone looks awful. And if it were any other magazine but Vogue Italia, people would be bashing this to shreds, because it’s terribly amateur looking and awkward,” echoed HeatherAnne.
On the other hand, some forum members were delighted. “I love everything about this cover,” enthused quangthinh.
Miss Dalloway also seemed very satisfied and wrote, “It’s beautiful, especially once you see it in full. The male model in the foldout should have been in the main cover, he has far more presence than any of the other two guys! I always love seeing male models being included in the cover.”
