Nina Garcia’s ELLE outshines the competition on the regular, leaving the likes of Anna Wintour’s Vogue and Samira Nasr’s Harper’s Bazaar in the dust. Throughout her tenure as editor of the Hearst-owned fashion title, Garcia has championed fashion models as ELLE cover stars – very much to the delight of us here at theFashionSpot. Irina Shayk, Imaan Hammam, Gigi Hadid, Kaia Gerber and Gisele Bündchen have each been blessed with covers of late. Now, it’s Vittoria Ceretti’s turn in the spotlight for March 2024. Shot by Mario Sorrenti and styled by ELLE‘s fashion director Alex White, the Italian beauty and current face of Michael Kors Collection wears pieces from Gucci and Willy Chavarria across a duo of simplistic covers.

Read below the reactions of theFashionSpot’s forum members:

“Hum… It’s great that ELLE continues to use models, but this one (cover) in particular is bad!” shrieked DK92 upon digesting ELLE‘s latest.

“Too empty. I don’t know… there’s something missing on the cover,” chimed in matheus_s.

“US ELLE‘s covers are usually great,” confessed tigerrouge. “I wasn’t expecting to see Vittoria looking like a drowned rat in an ill-fitting dress.”

“What’s with the greasy hair?” quizzed blueorchid.

Kokobombon commented: “I could do without the hairstyle, but gosh that stare!”

“What a disappointment. Vittoria is always spectacular, but she deserved better than this,” remarked aracic.

Nevertheless, not everyone was left so disappointed. “Must definitely be lowering my standards lately, because despite the general consensus of this thread, I’m very much a fan of the two covers. In particular… the second with Vittoria wearing the Willy Chavarria. I have a massive amount of respect and admiration for Nina Garcia endorsing fashion models as cover stars,” applauded vogue28.

That’s a wrap on MFW, with the undisputed king of Italian fashion that is Giorgio Armani rounding out the Milan Fashion Week schedule with a dreamy confection of whimsy and timeless silhouettes – sprinkled with a touch of romance. A wardrobe of winter florals, leaving us all here at theFashionSpot speechless in admiration.

Back on day one, it was Glenn Martens kick-starting the 5-day Milanese affair, with his fifth physical showcase as the creative force behind Diesel and experimented with a new and accessible show format. At Fendi, Kim Jones is wrapping up the Fendi woman for the Fall 2024 season in elegant tailoring. For a shot of color and extra warmth, Jones finished off the silhouette by adding extra layers of knitwear and cashmere. Utilitarianism done right. In an ode to metamorphosis, Fausto Puglisi ditched the signature animal prints in favor of a different kind of texture at Roberto Cavalli, opting for a marble-esque print this season. MFW staple Alberta Ferretti mixed leather and lace, fluffy winter coats with short skirts and chic tailoring with broad shoulders.

Timeless elegance reigned supreme at Ian Griffith’s Max Mara showcase, fabulous knitwear pieces in shades of grey were paraded down the runway by a stellar cast of top models including Natasha Poly and Yasmin Wijnaldum. Office attire with glimpses of the 50s were on full display at Prada, with co-creative directors Miuccia Prada and Raf Simons fusing together fashion with fragments of history. In a stunning tribute to a luminous nights sky, models walked the Emporio Armani finale with umbrellas as a light flurry of fake snow fell softly down on the runway – making for a truly unforgettable MFW moment.

Adrian Appiolaza made an extremely good impression on his first outing as Moschino’s creative director, having only had one whole month to work on the collection. On his second outing at the helm of Tom Ford, Peter Hawkings only further continued his vision of glamour and power. Models walked a marble runway wearing sleek tailored suits, hyper sexy dresses, big gold jewelry and killer heels. Matteo Tamburini’s debut at Tod’s saw the designer present an impeccable edited collection, true to the brand’s heritage. At Gucci, Sabato De Sarno essentially delivered part two of his Ancora vision, doubling down on the distinct shade of burgundy. Punk rock and the vamp aesthetics of the 80s were unveiled by Donatella at Versace, proving the iconic designer is wild at heart.

The Fall 2024 collection at Jil Sander featured pieces with crystal accents and an assortment of shaggy bags and shoes. Faithful to the brand’s DNA, Domenico Dolce and Stefano Gabbana presented a collection where black reigned supreme (with leopard print splashed throughout). Matthieu Blazy played with texture, shape and volume at Bottega Veneta and made the banal brilliant. Maximilian Davis’ latest for Ferragamo took inspo from the flapper girls of the 20s while it was all about pattern and play at Missoni.

How did such collections fare amongst theFashionSpot’s very own army of fashion critics, you ask? Scroll on further for the (many) hits and misses of Milan Fashion Week Fall 2024:

HIT | Missoni

“What a great way to combine colors, stripes and texture. everything worked perfectly! Loved the venue and the music too.” [prylvi]

“What a great collection! This is the energy Missoni needed! The overload of patterns and styling works perfectly! Well done!” [WAVES]

“Ooh this a fun and smart with a small side of pop art. It is refreshing to see a collection that looks like itself (exuding its energy and essence) while also being forward thinking and contemporary. I really like this. Bravo, Grazioli. Impressive.” [TerraVera]

See all the looks from the Missoni Fall 2024 collection.

HIT | Giorgio Armani

“The craftsmanship is exquisite.” [lowfive1715]

“At last someone capable of designing flattering trousers. They are exquisite, while looking effortless.” [yslforever]

“Exquisite. As per usual with Giorgio Armani, the fabrics look extremely luxurious, plush and expensive. The color palette, as always too, is fabulous. There’s a flow from one look to the next, it’s all just executed to perfection. Armani’s shades of pink are always ultra-fabulous.” [vogue28]

See all the looks from the Giorgio Armani Fall 2024 collection.

HIT | Bottega Veneta

“I mean it’s gorgeous, sumptuous and in the moment. The woven knits are delicious and the best pieces in the collection.” [Nimsay]

“It’s such a beautiful collection, I’m impressed! I love how graphic the silhouettes are, even the sharpness of the shoulders makes sense for me here, especially in knitwear. I also feel like it’s less heavy on experimenting with fabrics, and maybe that’s why it feels less forced than Spring 2024. I love it, and this time, even the in-house styling is not problematic at all.” [perhydrol]

“Sublime! Haven’t enjoyed a collection this much in a very long time.” [Ruito]

See all the looks from the Bottega Veneta Fall 2024 collection.

HIT | Tom Ford

“I love this, all that this beautiful brand needed was a bit of streamlining to take it‘s rightful place as the most aspiring mainstream luxury brand and that‘s what Peter Hawking‘s done here.” [tricotineacetat]

“Streamlined and sexy. Love!” [AnaD]

“It’s got that disco gloss to it without venturing into Eurotrash territory. It’s really done in a tasteful way and whether people want to accept it or not, this has become a classic silhouette that Tom Ford himself popularized.” [GoldenPetals]

See all the looks from the Tom Ford Fall 2024 collection.

MISS | Prada

“Prada used to be famous for ‘ugly chic’. Now it’s just ugly.” [Koibito]

“At this point the brand is dead to me. I have nothing but love for Miuccia, but I’m no longer interested in her work. It’s all become too obvious. Sales may be up, but at what cost?” [GivenchyHomme]

“This looks like luxe apocalypse fashion. Boring, dated, the whole tone and styling of the show seems weird. The intentionally awkward arm placement of the models. The cast looks like they were told to look miserable onstage.” [AnaD]

See all the looks from the Prada Fall 2024 collection.

MISS | Gucci

“I’m crying… it’s just so cheap! The new low.” [Kanzai]

“It’s becoming increasingly clear that Kering wasn’t looking for a designer with a strong point of view (unlike Alessandro Michele) but just someone capable of making decent clothes for a large demographic so that they can sell them at an excessive price and that everything will be put into the marketing side.” [GivenchyAddict]

“When it was suggested that his designs need to be elevated, it wasn’t meant literally on a raised runway.” [Cocteau Stone]

See all the looks from the Gucci Fall 2024 collection.

MISS | Jil Sander

“Horrendous.” [Alquimista]

“Are women actually buying these frumpy clothes? Even the tailored pieces are unflattering. There is no reason for them to shift away from the DNA of the house. Minimalism is thought of as easy, but it’s actually more difficult because it involves an emphasis on tailoring.” [GivenchyHomme]

“The spirit of the brand is certainly missing. It all seems a bit too tortured and away from the body in unappealing ways.” [Norden]

See all the looks from the Jil Sander Fall 2024 collection.

HIT | Dolce & Gabbana

“This is a strong collection from Dolce & Gabbana solely because it is confident and extremely focused! There’s something that I will always appreciate about designers doing what they know they can do well.” [Lola701]

“Glad they found their way back to the much-needed sexy collections. No one does it better than them!” [tourbillions]

“YES, this is everything. It’s focused, direct, the mood is right and well made. They wanted to make a collection of tuxedos, jackets, coats, furs and that’s what they did. The sheer lingerie compliments them like a template of sexiness. Casting was great too!” [Alquimista]

See all the looks from the Dolce & Gabbana Fall 2024 collection.

MISS | Bally

“Those clothes are so weird. What a strange cut, ugly accessories and the whole bit is quite tragic. A waste of resources!” [Lola701]

“Undesirable.” [jeanclaude]

“I’m kind of repulsed by that olive green top with the flattened ruffle.” [Cocteau Stone]

See all the looks from the Bally Fall 2024 collection.

MISS | Roberto Cavalli

“What happened. Their previous seasons were so tight and screamed Cavalli. This feels like Prada trying to be sexy.” [Nimsay]

“A massive step back. Looks like a nondescript collection from the early 2010s. The casting is all over the place, making the clothes look even worse because there’s no attitude to it.” [Cocteau Stone]

“Ugh, I hate it. I want trashy 2000s Cavalli back!” [Scotty]

See all the looks from the Roberto Cavalli Fall 2024 collection.

HIT | Ferragamo

“Love it. The perfect cast. Great colors, good footwear and I am even starting to warm up to his oversize hug bag. All Maximilan Davis’ women are strong and sultry, but still full of grace.” [VERNIQUE]

“I can see myself going to a fancy dinner in the two full knitwear looks (the beige and the green one) with just a nice little bag and it’s perfect! I must say this about Maximillian: he has a nice eye for colors! He chooses the right shades. And the burgundy and red combination is kinda fantastic!” [Lola701]

“The colors in this are just absolutely gorgeous! He’s certainly started to wise up and become more intuitive with his skill set and what he needs to work on.” [Cocteau Stone]

See all the looks from the Ferragamo Fall 2024 collection.

MISS | Marni

“What the hell is this? What happened to Marni? I want to like the coats and capes, but this is awful.” [TerraVera]

“I feel sick. This makes me sad.” [Not Plain Jane]

“Utter trash, all this needs to be put in a pile and doused in gasoline and burnt.” [disco54]

See all the looks from the Marni Fall 2024 collection.

MISS | Versace

“Ever since the Michael Kors takeover, Versace has become so insanely cheap looking. It’s like a completely different brand from those Donatella glory days of the early 00’s.” [lookatme]

“The styling and overall tone of the collection feels confused to me, a little goth, a little sprinkle of punk, a little Chanel… there’s a lot.” [aracic]

“This brand is completely neutered. It can still smell hormones but it doesn’t know what to do with it. All sex appeal is lost. It’s just kind of sad.” [TianCouture]

See all the looks from the Versace Fall 2024 collection.

HIT | Tod’s

“Great debut! Bravo! I haven’t loved a Tod’s collection that much since Alessandra Facchinetti left. I think this is good because it’s clever. Tod’s is not a fashion brand, it’s a leather goods maison. Here, he understood the assignment. The bags and shoes were very beautiful! Those bags are perfect! The clothes were down to earth, well designed and well styled. That’s a bit how I want Hermes to look.” [Lola701]

“Wonderful collection. I love how practical and elegant (also expensive) everything looks.” [thiago]

“This is by a mile the most pleasant surprise of the season. A very strong collection with variety of offerings and delicious accessories.” [TaylorBinque]

See all the looks from the Tod’s Fall 2024 collection.

MISS | Blumarine

“Remember when Blumarine was fun?” [AnaD]

“Something about this all looks so dated. Would have passed for a collection from 2015 or 2016 but not cutting it for 2024 sweety darling.” [GERGIN]

“The result was exactly what I expected. Sad and depressing. Why they thought a designer who does quiet luxury could do Blumarine is beyond me.” [LadyJunon]

See all the looks from the Blumarine Fall 2024 collection.

HIT | Emporio Armani

“Absolutely stunning. Bravo our master!” [Kanzai]

“I love seeing a master at work. The finale is stunning and I love seeing the cast look happy rowing their job. Fabulous show full of beautiful clothes!” [AnaD]

“The finale was breathtaking!” [Koibito]

See all the looks from the Emporio Armani Fall 2024 collection.

HIT | Moschino

“Way better than I was expecting. I don’t know why but I LOVED the last look. Bravo Adrian!” [Alejandra Isami]

“That was a TERRIFIC collection! He really understood the spirit of Franco Moschino. It’s classic with a twist, the right dose of humor but also very serious in terms of cut and execution. He is a dressmaker. The dressmaking was kind of exceptional for Moschino. The references were there but it had his spirit. Once again there’s a coherence between the designer and the clothes.” [Lola701]

“Guys, let’s be realistic, the man had a month to put together a debut collection and I think he did a very good job. He knows the archive very well, to begin with. He gets the Moschino values more than Jeremy Scott ever did.” [bc collector]

See all the looks from the Moschino Fall 2024 collection.

MISS | Sportmax

“I haven’t seen such a chaotic collection in a long time. Grazia Malagoli are so inconsistent.” [helmutnotdead]

“This is kind of hard to comprehend as a collection. Just way too many disparate ideas that have been chucked in a design blender and they just hoped for the best.” [Cocteau Stone]

“A disaster.” [Lola701]

See all the looks from the Sportmax Fall 2024 collection.

HIT | Max Mara

“Luxe and chic! Making me anticipate redoing my fall/winter wardrobe Clean, straightforward design. I appreciate it.” [TerraVera]

“A quintessential Max Mara collection, and I have nothing but love for every single look. So clean, refined, elegant, sophisticated, luxurious – the list goes on and on. This whole entire collection was styled by Tonne Goodman perfectly. Goodman and Ian Griffiths are proving to be a match made in heaven!” [vogue28]

“Such a ‘simple’ show and such a great fashion moment. It was close to perfection and this casting will be hard to beat!” [Ihhbl]

See all the looks from the Max Mara Fall 2024 collection.

HIT | Alberta Ferretti

“I can always count on Ferretti for beautiful clothes each season.” [LadyJunon]

“In love with those massive knits! Very good collection for separates and outerwear. Good use of color too, it’s nice to see some restraint. This may be one of the few times chartreuse doesn’t turn my stomach.” [AnaD]

“Gorgeous!” [Nimsay]

See all the looks from the Alberta Ferretti Fall 2024 collection.

MISS | Fendi

“Such a depressing collection, possibly the worst Fendi collection in decades? Honestly, Kim Jones should get a lifetime ban from designing womenswear ever again.” [style_expert]

“The worst knitwear of the season and so many unflattering propositions in one collection is just too much.” [perhydrol]

“Remember when Fendi used to be actually luxurious? Why would anyone spend thousands of dollars on stuff that has no glamour or uniqueness?” [GoldenPetals]

See all the looks from the Fendi Fall 2024 collection.

HIT | Del Core

“Oh I think this is fabulous. Feels very directional while remaining a bit effortless.” [TianCouture]

“I was a fan of Del Core’s since day one. I’m happy to see that he’s balancing out his offering with more daywear than he used to present at the beginning. I’m all for young designers who are out there with a serious proposition, real clothes, designed, cut and sewn clothes (not just styled). And worn by real models rather than the usual bunch of weirdos.” [bc collector]

“Beautiful collection! So minimal yet so sharp! Really love the draping here, it’s like I’m seeing fabric as portrayed in Michelangelo’s paintings. Chic!” [Ruito]

See all the looks from the Del Core Fall 2024 collection.

HIT | Etro

“Sumptuous fabrics, lush textures, this was heavenly!” [Ruito]

“This is lovely! The color palette works so beautifully with the textiles. The prints and textures also looks very mature and expensive with the knitwear being my favorite part.” [dancv]

“Oh this is LUSH. It’s got that Colonial-era jazz lounge kinda glamor to it. There’s something very Chinoiserie about it. I love the details, like the fringes, ruffles, and tribal jewelry.” [GoldenPetals]

See all the looks from the Etro Fall 2024 collection.

HIT | No.21

“This this what I like about Dell’Acqua: he’s a real clotheshorse, he does what he does with a very earnest approach and he’s not pretentious about it.” [bc collector]

“It’s a beautiful and solid collection. The knitwear and the cocktail dresses are kind of exceptional…” [Lola701]

“Fabulous fabulous collection.” [TianCouture]

See all the looks from the No.21 Fall 2024 collection.

HIT | Diesel

“Always have a soft spot for his Diesel. I see some Gaultier-esque pieces here.” [Kanzai]

“Some looks are super exquisite and more elevated than what he usually offers. Like WOW!” [IloveDiorHomme]

“I like it much more than the past seasons! It’s a hit!” [Ihhbl]

Forget Matteo Tamburini’s debut as creative director of Tod’s or Walter Chiapponi’s at Blumarine – day three of Milan Fashion Week has been about Sabato De Sarno and Sabato De Sarno only. This season, for his second womenswear offering as the new creative force at Gucci, the Italian designer is continuing to write a new chapter for the famed Italian fashion house. Staged inside a warehouse on the outskirts of Milan, De Sarno presented a collection boasting everything from tailoring and outerwear to vivid colors and lingerie-inspired ensembles to chic leather riding boots and heeled loafers (again). De Sarno’s vision is becoming more and more apparent. Monograms are subtle. Pants remain optional. Rosso Ancora is here to stay.

Read below the reactions of theFashionSpot’s forum members:

“I’m crying… it’s just so cheap! The new low.” [Kanzai]

“It’s becoming increasingly clear that Kering wasn’t looking for a designer with a strong point of view (unlike Alessandro Michele) but just someone capable of making decent clothes for a large demographic so that they can sell them at an excessive price and that everything will be put into the marketing side.” [GivenchyAddict]

“When it was suggested that his designs need to be elevated, it wasn’t meant literally on a raised runway.” [Cocteau Stone]

“What a bore. There is no point of view, just another merchandise show that could have been done by the studio team. The casting was terrible, bland looking girls with dead faces and pedestrian walks. The set and lighting made everything even more soulless. There is no desirability.” [avonlea002]

“Snoozefest.” [Delleone]

“This is….. POLITE. The absolute worst thing a luxury fashion house can be.” [GoldenPetals]

“It’s a huge improvement on the debut, a lot of beautiful and desirable product. A product that one might find similarly at a host of other brands, from Prada to Max Mara. The clothes are well cut and luxurious, and if I had an unlimited budget I’m sure I could find a host of pieces to wear, which I suppose is the idea. But: is this enough for such a mega brand?” [donyan]

“I don’t think it’s a bad collection, even if it has a massive word CORPORATE written all over it. It’s just… it doesn’t spark any desire, and I still know nothing about Sabato’s creative direction as it has been all over the place due to their marketing.” [perhydrol]

The post Watch: Part One of the Highlights of Milan Fashion Week Fall 2024 appeared first on theFashionSpot.

Sabato De Sarno has remained the designer du jour, ever since he was announced as Alessandro Michele’s replacement as Gucci’s creative director back in January 2023. The Italian designer continues to make a bold effort in overhauling the famed Italian fashion house, following the unveiling of his debut womenswear collection during Milan Fashion Week’s Spring 2024 season.

Vogue Scandinavia has undoubtedly carved a niche out for themselves, ever since the inaugural issue was unveiled with Greta Thunberg back in 2021. Under the tutelage of Martina Bonnier, homegrown talent continues to be displayed via the magazine’s front covers, with cover stars having included the likes of Malaika Holmén, Elsa Hosk, Alicia Vikander, Tove Lo and Pernille Teisbaek. Bonnier’s latest cover accomplishment involves welcoming Vilma Sjöberg as cover star for February/March 2024. The Swedish catwalk queen who just walked the major shows of Helmut Lang, Altuzarra and Carolina Herrera during New York Fashion Week poses with an adorable, cute and cuddly feline companion in the charming cover image. Captured by Camilla Akrans and styled by Maria Barsoum, Vilma is dressed in an embellished dress from Sabato De Sarno’s debut Gucci collection for Spring 2024.

Read below the reactions of theFashionSpot’s forum members:

“Are we back in lockdown or is there something I don’t know?” immediately asked Urban Stylin.

“A model like Sasha Pivovarova could’ve pulled this off ” chimed in Scotty.

Valentine27 voiced: “I would have liked to see more of the dress and less of this (big) cat. The color of the dress seems to suit the overall tone and it’s a pity it’s not visible enough.”

“I love Vilma and I think the cover is okay. However, the photography is weird. Camilla Akrans was great during the 00s with her minimal glamour, but this is not working. Looks like a photography student experimenting,” dontbeadrag critiqued.

Nevertheless, not everyone felt the same way. “LOVE, LOVE Camilla Akrans!” forum member Gonzalo defended.

“One of their better covers,” appreciated oaklee91. “I happen to like it, it’s light and the cat is a very cute addition.”

“The lighting and coloring is indeed lovely, and while this doesn’t exactly rock my world, it’s beautiful and easy enough on that the eye that I cannot complain,” enthused vogue28.

Ahead of Milan Fashion Week Fall 2024, we’re flashing it back to the Fall 2014 season and just like in both New York and London – the fashion landscape a whole decade ago was immensely different.

For starters, Frida Giannini was the creative force behind Gucci, who transported us back to the sixties for a collection worthy of being worn by modeling legend Jean Shrimpton. Giannini offered a series of short, structured dresses including several in leather, their bodices decorated with bold encrustations of crystals. Tomas Maier was at the helm of Bottega Veneta and the Fall 2014 season of MFW was the season in which gave us Jeremy Scott’s kitsch, camp and utterly iconic McDonald’s-inspired Moschino collection. At Prada, Miuccia Prada continued the theme of the menswear show from January, seemingly inspired by German avant-garde culture. Alberta Ferretti took us into the woods, with exquisite textures evoking tree bark. Donatella’s display at Versace marked a departure for the iconic designer, who unveiled a totally understated collection, having ditched the quintessential Versace razzle-dazzle.

You’ve heard it here on theFashionSpot on more than one occasion: Vogue Japan just isn’t the same. Since Condé Nast installed Tiffany Godoy as the magazine’s head of editorial content, covers have been extremely hit and miss. For March 2024, Godoy welcomes Sora Choi as cover girl, who has rapidly became one of the industry’s most prolific of Asian models. For the Spring 2024 campaign season alone (thus far), the beauty who hails from South Korea already has advertising campaigns for Prada and Giorgio Armani tucked up inside her portfolio. Via the lens of photographer Peter Ash Lee on Japanese Vogue‘s latest, surrounded by a floral display, Sora is dressed in an embellished look from Gucci’s Spring 2024 collection, selected for the occasion by stylist Alvin Yu.

Read below the reactions of theFashionSpot’s forum members:

“The new issue of House & Garden looks promising,” laughed avonlea002.

“House & Garden at least makes the effort to use houses and gardens. This looks like a florist’s store that’s been set up in a studio,” forum member tigerrouge chimed in.

Also far from overjoyed at the sight of the cover was dontbeadrag, commenting: “This is a total failure. Styling is bad, photography is bad – everything is terrible!”

“For me everything works except the model,” confessed DK92.

“I find this very pretty. Sora looks so cute,” ivano admired.

Vogue28 voiced: “Admittedly, this isn’t the worst Vogue Japan cover I’ve across under Tiffany Godoy. Very appropriate for a March issue, despite the cliche of the florals for spring. I’m liking how Sora’s lips seem to be be a perfect match the flowers, which is a very nice attention to detail. One slight snag I do have is the amputated-looking arm on the right… so unfortunate.”

There’s something going on at Vogue Turkey HQ and we here at theFashionSpot are 100% here for it. Over recent months, the magazine has commanded our attention like never before. Editor Debora Zakuto has endorsed the likes of Luna Bijl, Taylor Hill, Kris Grikaite, Constance Jablonski and Rosie Huntington-Whiteley as cover girls of late, and adds Grace Elizabeth to the impressive rooster for February 2024. Captured by photographer Yulia Gorbachenko and styled by Sandy Armeni, the all-American model, Estée Lauder brand ambassador and current face of Tory Burch makes a return to the cover of Turkish Vogue, five years after her last. In the crisp, minimalist and sleek cover shot, Grace wears a white mini dress Sabato De Sarno’s debut Gucci collection for Spring 2024.

Read below the reactions of theFashionSpot’s forum members:

“Look at Vogue Turkey eating up the vast VAST majority of Vogue editions! First the flawless Rosie Huntington-Whiteley cover and now another equally as stunning offering with Graze Elizabeth. This right here is gorgeous, easily the strongest Vogue cover I’ve seen this month. Sharp, sexy, minimalist, slightly suggestive… I love it,” exclaimed an elated vogue28.

“Vogue Turkey always eats,” chimed in Scotty. “A shame they don’t get much advertisement.”

Marsnoop2 was also very much a fan, commenting: “I must say I’m enjoying the casting for Vogue Turkey’s cover girls recently.”

Nowadays, Vogue Italia may not hold the prestige it once enjoyed during the late Franca Sozzani’s reign but at the very least, models remain at the forefront of the magazine’s front covers. Toward the end of 2023, as per the request of the magazine’s head of editorial content Francesca Ragazzi, Angelina Kendall, Anna Ewers and Liya Kebede were each welcomed as cover stars. The February 2024 edition sees Ragazzi usher in the new and upcoming generation of Italian models as cover girls, who include Valeria Buldini, Maty Fall, Adele Aldighieri, Ajok Daing, Malika El Maslouhi, Paola Manes and Marina Moioli. The fresh-faced beauties come together before the lens of photographer Mark Kean in the portrait cover shot, each styled by Imruh Asha in pieces from Sabato De Sarno’s debut Gucci collection for Spring 2024.

Read below the reactions of theFashionSpot’s forum members:

“Calling this mess amateur would an understatement. Today’s fashion photographers are a joke, and the models aren’t any better,” immediately called out avonlea002.

“It’s giving nothing,” laughed Chipmetrai.

“That looks like an America’s Next Top Model first episode shoot,” an underwhelmed Urban Stylin noted.

Aracic commented: “I’m sorry, I have to laugh. Why are some of them barefoot? Did no one coordinate their poses? Why is it so bad? What an embarrassment.”

“How the mighty have fallen,” chimed in forum member marsnoop2.

“All I see when I look at this is a poor man’s version of Luigi & Iango’s multi-girl Vogue Japan covers,” shared a disapproving vogue28.

“This must have been said countless times already but I miss Franca Sozzani,” cried out notfatgoddess.
