Natalia Vodianova covering Vogue UK December 2012 and looking all normal while doing it doesn’t do the Vogue trick for me. I really wanted a festive cover. Something that really goes pop beyond Technicolor words on an average cover. Oh, and what’s with the One Direction thing written there? Boosting Vogue sales through tweens and teens? Better have a strong inside, because the cover pushes me in One Direction only: far. Away. From. The. Newsstands. {Vogue}

Remember we talked about Jennifer Lawrence doing Vogue UK November 2012? I was crossing my fingers and hoping for an interesting pictorial. Photographed by Alasdair McLellan and styled by Francesca Burns with makeup by Hannah Murray.
Vintage – y and intentionally cozy, the pictorial is too rough and amateur – looking for my taste. I’m sure there’s a perfectly artsy explanation for it and that a certain tendency in photography is brilliantly illustrated in these pages of the November 2012 issue of Vogue UK. But can you believe that someone actually did Jennifer Lawrence’s hair for this pictorial? Yep! Hairstylist extraordinaire Anthony Turner is responsible for this un – coiffed coiffed hair! Lovely. Not.

Vogue UK continues to replicate Vogue US’ style. At least as far as the cover choices go! Their November 2012 issue’s preview shows Jennifer Lawrence, as adorable as always, in Dolce and Gabbana lace dress (from the Fall Winter 2012 2013 collection) posing for Alasdair McLellan.
There’s no telling if the inside pictorial will reference her role in the Hunger Games franchise (her hair is not Katniss – dark) and although the cover is charming (due to Jennifer’s charisma), looks dull and seriously lacks sparkle. Hoping the inside goodies will upstage this blandness!

Kristen Stewart who is right in the middle of a media scrutinized scandal, is on the cover of Vogue’s UK October 2012. Although you’d think she’s doing a pre – Twilight promotional appearance, she’s there for “On the Road” s UK premiere (October 12th).
A controversial but nevertheless iconic movie (based on a Jack Kerouac novel), as you’ll tell from the trailer (here), On The Road will only be on limited release in the US, and that in December. What you need to remember is that Kristen Stewart has slowly rose to a certain Femme Fatale status through her movies & press appearances while this new affair scandal is only consolidating her seductress fame. (call it her “Angelina” moment, Kristen, if managed righteously, will rise victorious after this scandal)

Karlie Kloss. Haven’t we talked about her the other day? Ah, yes, when I was convinced that she’s the new Barbie in town. And don’t get me wrong, I still feel the same way, it’s just this childish cover styling that’s got me all confused!
Vogue UK September 2012 doesn’t brag about quality but about quantity: “Biggest Issue Ever”. It is sad to watch how the Olympics get drained of all their meaning and symbolism, of all the hard work that’s going into the Games and translated into biggest issue ever!
Oh, and not to mention the lack of inspiration: using Karlie Kloss for Vogue UK’s Fashion Olympic moment? Hello?! Haven’t you seen Vogue US’ Sports issue? With Karlie? This is sad. (although I’m a positive spirit and I still have faith that the inside content will deliver,) This is dishonoring for the spirit of the Olympics, for Karlie’s modeling immense potential and for the fashion legend of Vogue. (echoing from the caves of fash – hope.. vogue, ogue, gue…)

I know we talked about Emma Stone’s Vogue cover already! But my dahlings? That was her Vogue US cover! Now here she is, in all her pretty glory on the cover of Vogue UK’s August 2012 issue! Because umm.. you know, The Amazing Spiderman is everywhere this month. Oh, and also because like Vogue UK said: Emma Stone is the new Hollywood heroine. Cool Funny and Smart! {Vogue UK}

After a beautiful June cover, it’s time for Vogue UK to get back to their boring, lifeless, lackluster, fashionless covers! The perfect example of good girl gone really bad cover with Rachel Weisz as photographed by Alasdair McLellan for Vogue UK July 2012. Wrong pose. Wrong angle. Wrong colors. Wrong cover! {Vogue UK}

It’s like she deliberately kept us in the fashion dark for a couple of issues! Alexandra Shulman seems to have redeemed her fashion glory with Vogue UK June 2012 issue with Kate Moss on the cover!
It’s a great issue, overall, with hidden treasures beyond the Mert & Marcus cover photo of the ultimate British model, Kate Moss. And it should be! It’s Vogue UK’s way of saluting the Olympic Games which are set in London, this summer. Sport legends and all kinds of British legends grace the pages of this remarkable issue (although there’s a pictorial with Arizona Muse I can’t really fit in the general scheme yet): Helena Bonham Carter, Damon Albarn, Edie Campbell, Tom Hardy and more. I think we’ll discuss about this Vogue UK for a while. How do you feel about that?
