But even with a striking headpiece from Dolce & Gabbana, our forum members still had gripes about the cover. “I like it, other than the boring background!” shared lukechapman.
“Could do with a different background but it’s really striking,” agreed Nepenthes, who went on to say, “Adriana’s eyes are piercing! I’m sure it will look amazing on newsstands!”
“GORGEOUS close-up shot for the beauty issue!” raved miguelalmeida.
“Adriana is a welcome change to the usual VP cover subjects,” enthused khyrk, clearly motivated by Alt’s cover girl choice this month.
Discussion took a turn when most of our forum members couldn’t help but compare it to other publications. “It looks amateurish, cheap, and trying so hard it might as well be a cover of Vogue Russia!!!” disapproved Miss Dalloway.
Also suggesting the cover resembles Russian Vogue was Creative, who questioned, “Vogue Russia is that you? Ugly and what a terrible layout.”
HeatherAnne didn’t appear to be impressed, either: “This magazine has lost any sense of identity; I never know what I’m going to see when I click on their thread, it’s completely disjointed from month to month. I feel as if Alt is grasping at straws at this point.”
