Probably an unpopular opinion - but I think she looks good here

They did strategically cover half of her face.... s/o to her makeup, hair, and styling team. They did well on this one.
Exactly, the other cover is way less striking and interesting because you can see her whole emotionless face lol
 
i was going to say i dont mind her covers. the make-up makes her look more mature, less baby face. she is better than her sister bella who looks like a fem-bot.

I honestly think that the b&w cover is very good.
The point is that I think "not bad to be Gigi"
But this is SO wrong! It's a cover, we don't have to make do with them, they should be beautiful. We're make our standards lower because the industry is giving us bad stuff.
Im probably overreacting but this thing of models-it-girls drives me nuts. Stop making everyone models. If they're good at something, let them be celebs, if are good at nothing, don't make them models, for God's sake stop this.

I understand this but it's a win-win situation on both parts. Instagram has changed the way people view fashion, magazines and brands are searching for girls who already have big followings and are familiar faces. A model has to SELL and that's what these Instagram girls are doing. Take a look at every cover Kendall and Gigi have and you'll notice that there isn't a single one where they don't mention their Instagram followers in them. Even during VSFS they made a whole segment about Gigi, Kendall and their social media success, it's very trasparent. There are big fashion houses that never used any of these celebrity models in their shows (Dior, Prada, Celine, Valentino, Gucci) and probably never will. It's just a phase, surely an unfortunate one, but fashion moves fast and they'll be onto the next trend in a few seasons. Anyway, I don't mind Gigi if she deliveres decent stuff like this VP cover, at the end of the day it's not about how you got there but if you're worthy of that spot.

Good point.
Fashion houses suffering are a real thing. It's a tough business to stay afloat in with the current state of the world economy right now.
They make products for a very specific bracket of clientele afterall.
It's no longer good enough to be good - if you don't have the sales.

With shares falling for LVMH, Burberry, Gucci, Prada etc....Meadham Kirchoff closing its doors.

These insta-famous-not-really-models, seem to be a necessary evil, to help market products and campaigns, and in turn drive sales for companies.

Oh she had them but must not have worn her retainer. Shocking, considering being a model was her 'lifelong dream.' :yawn:
could be the laziest person ever?
The most amusing quote from that link...

But I feel like, for most events, if I’m going as a high-fashion model, I usually just like doing a clean face.
:spitlaugh:

But I feel like even with a clean face, you still have to kind of contour...
Only because your face resembles a potato :hahano:

She looks good because they practically photoshopped her into a Zendaya!! With a little bit of Giselle thrown in.

For comparison:








I don't know, maybe it's just me on the Zendaya similarity.

Regardless, Gigi looks "good" because she...doesn't actually look like Gigi. /goes to show how replaceable she is.

Edited to add: I'm not a mega-fan of Zendaya, we just got this magazine at our office and I could honestly not identify who it was for a few seconds
