Put on a Chic face

This month I won't be talking about all the Vogue covers made for May. To be honest, most of them are quite bland, so you're not missing much. But I really wanted to talk about UK Vogue because I just moved to the UK and I bought this edition of Vogue for the first time ever. And I have to say that I liked it better than expected. The cover is not particularly striking, but I guess they didn't have to try much since they have a super star on it. I'm not a Game of Thrones fan, but I know a lot of people are.

It's good to have both in the same issue. Also, the supplement is really nice. They did it in association with Next Agency, and it has Grace Hartzel on the cover.

Gilles + Alessandra = match made in heaven. Ale already knows how to pose to make her body look perfect, and Gilles knows how to catch those poses. It's like they were born to work together. This shoot in incredibly gorgeous. The location is beautiful, the styling is on point, ...and the most important thing is that both the model and the photographer know what they're doing. And that shows in the photos. The whole spread has a vintage vibe, like it was made a couple of decades ago, and I enjoy it. But if I had to tell you to look at just one thing, I'd tell you to look at the poses. The strengh of Ale's pose...
