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.

We’ve become fairly used to globe trotting via the advertising campaigns of Michael Kors Collection. One season we are jetting off to Monte Carlo, the next it’s dashing about the streets of New York City and Mr. Kors is whisking us off to the majestic island of Capri for Spring 2024. The powerhouse American designer drops Anok Yai this season, opting to cast Vittoria Ceretti solo. Remaining on the books also is photographic duo Inez van Lamsweerde & Vinoodh Matadin. Throughout the sun-drenched campaign imagery, the Italian beauty (and firm forum favorite) is styled by Emmanuelle Alt and captured by the Dutch creative twosome around various different picturesque and dreamy locations throughout the retro-inspired campaign imagery.

Read below the reactions of theFashionSpot’s forum members:

“Absolutely beautiful fashion photography and views! Love seeing Inez & Vinoodh’s dreamy imagery. Reminds me of their work for Vogue Paris,” raved MModa.

In complete agreement was vogue28: “A vast improvement from last month’s eyesore of a campaign, IMO. Can you ever go wrong with a location like Capri? Absolutely majestic setting. Vittoria Ceretti solo was also a very good idea, love how she’s photographed here and how not even the stunning can steal focus from Ceretti’s awe-striking beauty.”

“I feel like I should like this more than I do,” admitted aracic. “The landscapes are stunning and so is Vittoria… But it feels so weirdly static and the clothes are quite ugly, to be honest. Something’s just not clicking for me.”

“Needs a [Mario] Testino-style filter of golden light making everything look more expensive than it is,” pointed out forum member tigerrouge.

“Same old. Not even Vittoria can save it this time,” disapproved kokobombon.

It has been a never-ending guessing game over on theFashionSpot forums for months. Speculating, just as to who might crop up on the cover of Edward Enninful’s final issue of British Vogue. Since June 2023, upon the news of Enninful departing the British fashion bible after a rather remarkable 7-year stint, names like Beyoncé were thrown around with regards to his final cover star. Needless to say, we didn’t see this one coming…

Forgoing just the one cover star, Enninful called upon a whopping 40 of his chosenVogue icons for his concluding cover. As a result, Karen Elson, Irina Shayk, Laverne Cox, Anya Taylor-Joy, Serena Williams, Rina Sawayama, Karlie Kloss, Jourdan Dunn, Cindy Crawford, Amber Valletta, Precious Lee, Jodie Comer, Gemma Chan, Adut Akech, Vittoria Ceretti, Gugu Mbatha-Raw, Cata Delevingne, Jane Fonda, Gigi Hadid, Linda Evangelista, Adwoa Aboah, Miley Cyrus, Paloma Elsesser, Iman, Victoria Beckham, Ariana DeBose, Jameela Jamil, Oprah, Selma Hayek, Christy Turlington, Salma Blair, Maya Jama, Kate Moss, Cynthia Erivo, Simone Ashley, Lila Moss, Anok Yai, Kaia Gerber, Naomi Campbell and Dua Lipa grace the cover. The women flocked together in New York, and assemble for a group photograph before the lens of Steven Meisel.

Read below the reactions of theFashionSpot’s forum members:

“Thank you, Edward. Thank you fashion gods! It’s a very interesting mix of cover subjects, some greats, some less than greats. Everyone looks fantastic, not a single woman looks unflattering here and that’s exactly what you want in a group cover, ” approved aracic.

LastNight was of the same mind, echoing: “I really like it! I think it’s quite striking and impressive to get all those people together.”

“I mean it’s a nice flex for him to have all these names on his last issue, but the composition is awful,” chimed in Marc10.

Thiago commented: “The Photoshop is terrible but that’s a proper farewell – Steven Meisel and legends!”

“It’s insane that they managed to actually get everyone there and still made it look like it’s a completely fake, Photoshopped group picture,” exclaimed lookatme.

“The cover isn’t groundbreaking enough, but you can’t make me hate it. Edward is such a mastermind, and I will surely miss his Vogue era,” shared forum member crmsn.

Caioherreo most definitely wasn’t all too impressed, describing the cover as “super boring” but do you agree?

Inez van Lamsweerde & Vinoodh Matadin have remained Michael Kors’ photographers of choice since Fall 2018, and the relationship is still going strong, for yet another season. After transporting us to a the glitzy resort of Monte Carlo last season, we’re now back stateside for Michael Kors Collection’s Fall 2023 campaign offering and we’re venturing out into the streets of New York City – in the famed Greenwich Village neighborhood, to be exact. Dressed for the occasion in Kors’ 70s-inspired collection by stylist Carlos Nazario, models Vittoria Ceretti and Anok Yai become girls about town in the chic campaign imagery, both embodying the Michael Kors woman perfectly.

Members of our forums, however, were left rather underwhelmed. “When you know MK campaigns for the past 20 years, it’s insane to just have models on the streets of NYC,” critiqued Lola701.
“Looks like they’re on patrol, in the Michael Kors military division, goose-stepping down the street,” forum member tigerrouge laughed.
“Vittoria and Anok have ZERO energy together,” voiced FashionFanatico.
“Both wigs look terrible!” thiago cried out.
Urban Stylin agreed, commenting: “Those wigs are annoying me!”
“We need to talk about Anok’s wig. This is criminal…” echoed GivenchyAddict.
“One of my most favorite of collections during NYFW did not deserve such a horrific advertising campaign! The hair on Anok Yai is atrocious, and Vittoria Ceretti’s mop isn’t much better either. The pairing of Yai and Ceretti simply does not work… both have zero chemistry together. What a travesty this is shaping up to be!” disapproved vogue28.

Gucci may just be the most talked about brand on the planet right now, and it’s largely due to the buzz surrounding Sabato De Sarno’s debut come Milan Fashion Week, and the event is guaranteed to be the hottest ticket in town. De Sarno’s full vision for the luxury Italian fashion house is yet to be unveiled but the designer has already gifted us a Daria Werbowy campaign for Gucci’s High Jewelry collection and instructs Vittoria Ceretti to team up with photographer David Sims for Gucci’s Fall 2023 advertising campaign (an interim collection designed by Gucci’s in-house design team).
In the studio-shot campaign imagery, set against a muddy green backdrop (which echoes the show space during the Fall 2023 presentation), little was required of Vittoria (and male model Aboubakar Konte) expect for her regal natural beauty as she poses before Sims’ lens throughout the understated and minimalist campaign offering.

The campaign became an instant hit amongst members of our forums. “Oh wow! Vittoria slays!” raved chrisand489.
“Vittoria looks FANTASTIC!” exclaimed WAVES.
“Sick and tired of David Sims having the lead in advertising at the moment, but some of these shots are sublime indeed – all thanks to Vittoria. Always had a soft spot for her, she looks stunning!” voiced aracic.
Yet not everyone was so entirely convinced. “Absolutely no point in doing a campaign if it’s for it to look like this,” complained Thefrenchy.
“That’s one terrible campaign that could have turned out great. I like the clothes, the cast…So here the problem is definitely the photography,” Lola701 complained.
Yasouss commented: “Didn’t care much for the previous maximalist direction, but this looks too parred down, just change the logos and its a Fendi or Dior Men campaign with the drab background. Vittoria really saves it here, but they will need a lot more than this!”

Tyler Mitchell is the photographer du jour according to Maximilian Davis, as the Ferragamo creative director welcomes back the New York-based photographer for a second time for Fall 2023, after originally joining forces for Pre-Fall 2023. This season’s campaign offering is set against Renaissance artwork from the 15th and 16th centuries, in partnership with Gallerie degli Uffizi. Models Vittoria Ceretti, Mona Tougaard, Jessica Stam, Anok Yai and Lina Zhang are joined by a handful of creative types for the campaign, who include creative consultant and strategist Zainab Jama, singer and songwriter Kelela, and sound artist Yasmina Dexter. Tyler Mitchell himself even gets in on the action, posing in front of the camera throughout the cinematic campaign offering.

For the most part, members of our forums were impressed. “The best ad of the season is born!” heralded 9sete.
“I think Mona looks stunning here! Very cool concept,” admired tjasmine.
“It’s decided. It’s official. I fully f*ck with Davis’ Ferragamo,” Lady Junon raved.
Yet not everyone, however, was so convinced. “Such a lifeless campaign,” exclaimed a disapproving kasper!.
“If you’re going to shoot against a background like this the clothes should have some semblance of romance. Where is the Italian warmth? Apparently mediocrity is perfectly acceptable so long as it sells decently,” voiced forum member GivenchyHomme.
“They should’ve brainstormed longer if this is what they came up with for the campaign, like I get the vision but the execution is so poor,” said fenty.

Since its debut back in 2021 with the unveiling of Issue #0, Perfect has become a magazine within a league of its own. The biannual publication founded by stylist Katie Grand and now edited by Bryan Yambao (also known as fashion influencer Bryanboy), has favored multi-covers since day one and along with the launch of Issue #5 for the Fall 2023 season, the title has undergone a redesign and boasts a new format.

In order to generate as much hype as possible, a grand total of 29 covers have been produced for us to deliberate over and collect. Cover stars on this occasion include Dominique Fishback, Kesewa Aboah, Vittoria Ceretti, Corbin Shaw, Natasha Poly, Rick Owens, Gwendoline Christie, Leon Dame, Kylie Minogue, Ida Heiner, América González, Davika Hoorne, Adwoa Aboah, Ned Sims, Ikram Abdi, Oluchi Onweagba, Zayn Malik, Alexandra Daddario, Gabrielle Union and Steve Mackey.

As per usual with multi-covers, only a select few are guaranteed to standout from the rest. “The Vittoria Ceretti cover is the only one that would make you stop IRL,” voiced Lola701.
“Love Vittoria’s and Kylie,” echoed Xone.
“Only the covers with Vittoria and Kylie are the best, the others are kinda dull,” VogueGirl8910 chimed in.
In complete agreement was vogue28: “Never been all too impressed with Perfect but I am very pleasantly surprised by some of these covers. Always so wonderful to see Natasha Poly and that Vittoria Ceretti is rather gorgeous. However, the inclusion of Kylie Minogue is simply the icing on the cake for me here.”
“Vittoria, Natasha and Kylie all look incredible. Some of the other covers are good but blimey did they really needed this many?” quizzed WAVES.

We’ll definitely take our Steven Meisel fix any way we can get it. Whether the legendary lensman is photographing campaigns for Moschino, Max Mara, Ports 1961, Alexander McQueen, Zara or Louis Vuitton, we’re always here for it. The latest brand to enlist Meisel is Stockholm-based label Totême. After impressing last season with Raquel Zimmermann captured by Inez van Lamsweerde and Vinoodh Matadin, now Vittoria Ceretti poses before a stark backdrop sporting Totême’s Spring 2022 collection of simple silhouettes and sustainable fabrics.

“Simple, chic and timeless. I don’t mind classic Meisel when it’s so well executed,” voiced Lola701.

“I love this. Simple, elegant and Vittoria Ceretti looks stunning,” echoed an obviously pleased McKinney.

“A little in love with this! I am instantly transported back to the glory days of American Vogue‘s chic Meisel studio stories with Tonne Goodman styling. The white background is a refreshing change from gray, the styling here is elegant, sophisticated and glam and Vittoria looks truly wonderful,” raved vogue28.

“The second and third shots are perfection,” declared KINGofVERSAILLES.

VogueGirl8910 is in the same frame of mind: “The ads are very striking and stunning…”

“This is the first time I’ve heard about this brand. Quite Max Mara, but I love it,” ivano chimed in.

Francesca Ragazzi continues to make her mark on Vogue Italia. As the publication’s head of editorial content, Ragazzi is on a mission to promote homegrown talent. Recently she’s endorsed Paralympian Veronica Yoko Plebani, actress Coco Rebecca Edogamhe and designer Donatella Versace. Now the magazine welcomes one of the country’s most in-demand models for April 2022. Covered in head-to-toe silver body paint, Vittoria Ceretti dons a floor-length number from Saint Laurent’s Spring 2022 collection chosen by Ib Kamara for the image captured by Rafael Pavarotti.

The cover took our forum members by complete surprise. “This is stunning!” exclaimed aracic the moment the cover dropped.

“It’s perfect! Finally something worthy of old Vogue Italia,” praised WAVES.

“A vast improvement, certainly feels dramatic and fashion-forward enough and worthy of what was once an utterly brilliant fashion magazine. Every element is working together which makes for a bold and visually-arresting cover and Vittoria Ceretti is always a good idea,” raved vogue28.

“This must be the best Vogue Italia cover in like 10 years. Absolutely perfect,” MyNameIs pointed out.

“I’m speechless! I didn’t think Vogue Italia had it in them to produce this kind of cover anymore,” admitted kokobombon.

“That cover is out of this world…” declared Mercredi.

“A breath of fresh air! I’m so happy, this is definitively an improvement,” commented libra.

“Utterly gorgeous,” described ivano.

“Very sci-fi, very futuristic,” noted Silkspring.

For over three decades as Max Mara’s creative director, Ian Griffiths has selected Steven Meisel to lens the majority of the brand’s advertising campaigns. They’ve included everyone from Gigi Hadid to Faretta to Fei Fei Sun to Joan Smalls with last season’s offering celebrating the 70th anniversary of Max Mara. The legendary lensman returns for Spring 2022 with Carine Roitfeld back on styling duties. Loli Bahia, Yilan Hua, Anok Yai and Vittoria Ceretti pose in the studio showcasing the fashion house’s latest collection.

Members of our forums, however, expected more. “I’m missing some movement in the poses,” voiced mikel.

“If ‘go on girl give us nothing’ was a campaign. I get that Max Mara loves their simple no-concept campaigns, but the clothes actually have to look desirable for that to work,” KINGofVERSAILLES chimed in.

“This is terrible. Weak photography aside, there is nothing desirable about this duty-free styling,” critiqued THD96.

“The only campaign images I’m able to tolerate are the ones cropped a little closer (like the one of Vittoria Ceretti wearing the navy outfit). There’s just no life, movement or pizzazz radiating from the full-length images,” explained an underwhelmed vogue28.

“This is really bad coming from Meisel…” confessed zacatecas570.

“Vittoria looks dry and washed out. That hair color is a disaster,” added GivenchyHomme.

“I loved Vittoria’s hair on the runway, but apparently it doesn’t translate to print…not Max Mara’s best,” admitted aracic.

But not everyone shared the same sentiment. “I don’t get the dislike. All I see is a rather stunning Max Mara campaign… Yes it’s basic, but it’s Meisel basic, which I’ve always liked,” approved Benn98.
