Make no mistake that Vogue Turkey is on our radar. The magazine has our undivided attention here at theFashionSpot, all thanks to Debora Zakuto’s choice in cover models of late. Constance Jablonski, Rosie Huntington-Whiteley, Grace Elizabeth, Beauïse Genç and Lila Moss have covered the Turkish fashion bible over recent months, with Zakuto adding Stella Maxwell to the list with the unveiling of the May 2024 issue. Via the lens of photographer Emre Unal, the Belgian-Irish beauty poses on a patch on grass in the season-appropriate cover shot. The image is complete with Vogue Turkey’s fashion director Ceylan Atınç dressing Maxwell in a multi-colored floral dress from Stella McCartney’s Spring 2024 collection (in addition to a gold necklace and bracelet from Cartier).
Read below the reactions of theFashionSpot’s forum members:
“Not good,” stated caioherrero the moment the cover struck.
“No. She looks like any random young socialite. Feels like daddy paid for the cover to happen,” voiced an underwhelmed FAdS.
“It does feel very socialite,” tigerrouge chimed in. “And the background looks much more naturalistic than she does. The garish pattern helps distract the eye at first, but in areas with plain hair and skin, she’s got that unnatural “outline” that comes from post-processing.”
Mrs.T was in complete agreement, commenting: “Never got Stella Maxwell’s appeal as a model. I agree, here, she looks more like socialite than a model. The cover overall is not good or groundbreaking.”
Not everyone, however, shared the same sentiments. “I beg to differ, I like it. Florals for spring? Yes! She looks like a bed of flowers and it’s beautiful,” defended oaklee91.
“I’m with you,” replied vogue28. “Don’t mind the sight of this cover either, think it’s very easy on the eye, feels appropriate for a May issue.”
