The relationship between Dolce & Gabanna and Steven Meisel continues to go from strength to strength, and you’ve been missing out (big style) if you weren’t aware the Italian designers had began to recommission the master photographer to lens their advertising campaign imagery. The return to glory first started mid-2023 when Mariacarla Boscono became the face of D&G’s Summer 2023 collection and the party continued into the Fall 2023 season with a sultry Maya Jama posing for Meisel. Much to our delight, Meisel and stylist Karl Templer remain onboard for Pre-Spring 2024, with Lulu Tenney (in addition to male models Yoesry Detre, Xu Meen and Habib Masovic) coming along for the ride throughout the series of flawless studio-shot campaign imagery.

Read below the reactions of theFashionSpot’s forum members:

“Stellar!! Meisel is bringing his A game for Dolce & Gabbana and I’m all here for it,” raved aracic.

“This is beyond good. Lulu has transformed into one of the most capable models of her generation,” forum member youarearockstar instantly approved.

Sharing the same enthusiasm was fenty: “Lulu is FAB and she’s selling it!”

“This campaign is amazing!! Lulu really nailed it,” applauded couturefan.

Vogue28 was also full of praise, adding: “Divine, absolutely divine campaign. Never been a one to rave about Lulu Tenney but she is selling it here like there’s no tomorrow So bright, vibrant, polished, glossy, glamorous – I could go on and on!”

“Meisel + D&G = Perfection,” calculated an elated lanvinray.

The year 2023 bestowed upon us the resurgence of Linda Evangelista. On the magazine cover front alone, the absolute icon of modeling covered both American and British Vogue‘s all-important September issues (alongside her supermodel peers), in addition to making for a much-welcomed sight on the covers of WSJ. Magazine, D la Repubblica, The Sunday Time Style and The Travel Almanac.

Not even one week into 2024 and we’ve already got Evangelista gracing V Magazine – we’re off to an almighty start for the new year. Never shy of endorsing models as cover stars, the industry legend fronts V‘s Spring Preview 2024 edition which promises to be an explosion of pure unapologetic fashion and fantasy. Across four highly-stylized and collectable covers captured by Steven Klein and styled by Patti Wilson, Linda cements the fact she is fashion’s ultimate chameleon, partaking in the dynamic and fantasy-filled cover shoot. Showing off her extreme versatility, Linda rocks an array of hairstyles, bold makeup looks and show-stopping creations from the likes of Miu Miu, Ocean Savage, Dolce & Gabbana and Aziz.

Read below the reactions of theFashionSpot’s forum members:

“The resurgence of Linda Evangelista is without a doubt my favorite thing to happen in fashion in recent memory,” raved aracic.

“The first cover is definitely striking. Finally something different from Linda and in full-color,” MModa appreciated.

Vision Ruan echoed the same sentiments, commenting: “I’m glad that Linda stepped out of her comfort zone and showed us something different!”

“Linda just keeps delivering hit after hit,” Urban Stylin declared.

Not everyone, everyone, felt the same way. “Unbearably dated. Why does everything come across so soulless these days?” asked lookatme.

“They’re all kind of awful if you ask me. Linda and Steven have both done so much great work – this just isn’t that,” KoV exclaimed.

“Regardless of the finished product, I feel strongly there’s always just a cause for outright celebration whenever Linda Evangelista makes an appearance. What a way to start 2024!” championed vogue28.

The relaunch of Harper’s Bazaar Italia has proved to be nothing short of spectacular. Since the title’s reintroduction back into the world of print back December 2022, we have been enthralled by covers starring the likes of Vittoria Ceretti, Sara Grace Wallerstedt and Mila van Eeten. Issue #8 is here for the December 2023 (which is effectively Bazaar Italia’s second first anniversary), and editor Daria Veledeeva gifts us not one but two fantasy-inspired covers lensed by renowned fashion photographer Nick Knight. French model Apolline Rocco Fohrer appears on cover one (below), sporting glossy hair and an icy makeup look, wearing an embellished number from Giorgio Armani. In cover two (after the jump), Indian model Avanti Nagrath is dressed in an embroidered cape from Dolce & Gabbana. The two covers are complete with styling from the publication’s fashion director Sissy Vian.

Bazaar Italia’s latest ignited conversation amongst theFashionSpot forum members immediately. “There was everything that could go wrong, but somehow I like it…,” voiced DK92 upon seeing Apolline’s cover.

“Great theme for December,” instantly approved MModa.

“Makes me imagine Apolline as a mermaid,” forum member tigerrouge chimed in.

“The cover with Apolline Rocco Fohrer by Nick Knight is divine! It feels edgy yet festive, extremely fashion-forward and I instantly recognized that heavenly Giorgio Armani dress. The colors are gorgeous too, really love every aspect of that cover,” raved vogue28.

“There’s a lot going on but I still prefer this over Vogue,” stated kokobombon.

Aracic commented: “The lack of neck is very bothersome, but it’s a stunning image that hits the right festive buttons for me. I love just how shiny it all appears!”

Since 2017, back when Alexandra Shulman gave Ashley Graham her very first cover of Vogue, the model and body positivity advocate has been welcomed as cover girl onto multiple editions of Vogue from across the globe. From fronting American Vogue (twice) to shimmering in sequined Valentino on Vogue Germany – Ashley’s cover repertoire is second to none. Vogue Brazil is the latest to welcome Ashley as their cover star, who covers the Brazilian fashion title’s November 2023 edition, across a duo of dynamic and glamorous covers. Captured by creative twosome Marcos Florentino and Kelvin Yule (of MAR+VIN), complete with styling from Rita Lazarotti, the industry fave rocks looks from Dolce & Gabbana.

Ultimately, the covers received mixed feedback across our forums. “This is so horrible,” voiced an underwhelmed carioherrero.

“There’s no point getting your cover star to glam it up, if they look like they’re waiting for some curtains to dry, while going for the world record in gathering toilet paper with their feet,” stated tigerrouge.

“Are we in 2015?” asked Kimy Jo.

“It’s just boring,” forum member mepps sighed.

Nevertheless, not everyone was so quick to disapprove of the covers. “At the very least, the two covers are marginally stronger than Ashley’s recent cover of Vogue Germany. I am very pleasantly surprised at how much I’m a fan of these two covers – and this whole shoot!” declared vogue28.

“I actually love the covers and editorial. Finally a magazine got the right styling and photographer for a curvy woman on a fashion magazine,” Urban Stylin praised.

Ashley’s accompanying cover feature is a total must-see. Check it out and join the conversation, here.

Three fashion capitals down. One to go, as we’re only just catching our breath after what has perhaps been the most whirlwind Milan Fashion Week in decades.
Kicking off MFW was Kim Jones at Fendi, with guests ushered into a space filled with XL Fendi it-bags sculpted out of white plaster, before models sashayed their way around the space wearing a colour-block collection of sophisticated separates and sheaths cut close to the body. Alberta Ferretti, the grand dame of Milanese fashion, gave us a breezy collection of silk, flowing organza and satin. Glamour was high on the agenda at Roberto Cavalli, in stark contrast to the Diesel show which was held in the middle of a rave, complete with around 7,000 people in attendance. Max Mara’s delightfully wearable collection boasted a color palette of neutral khaki, pistachio green, faded blue, mustard yellow and subtle pinks. Workwear jackets were paid with ultra-feminine ensembles at Prada while at Moschino, four stylists paid homage to Franco Moschino’s iconic designs from 1983-1993. Moody stares from the models were changed to grins going from ear to ear at Emporio Armani. Peter Hawkings was soon making his debut as Tom Ford’s creative director, presenting an ultra-luxe collection for someone who has somewhere fabulous to go, which ultimately proved Hawkings to be perfect successor to the Tom Ford label. Rainfall forced Sabato de Sarno’s open-air Gucci debut to head indoors, where the designer wiped the slate clean and delivered a plethora of reinvented classics for the storied Italian fashion house. Donatella Versace transported us back to the 60s at Versace (complete with a show-stopping last look won by none other than Claudia Schiffer) and it was an album of greatest monochromatic hits at Dolce & Gabbana. Matthieu Blazy’s latest offering at Bottega Venta gave us unexpected yet refined silhouettes and Maximilian Davis served up a modern and contemporary spring wardrobe for the Ferragamo customer. Closing out the festivities, the maestro of Italian fashion that is Giorgio Armani gave us yet another absolute masterclass in sophistication.
Look no further for an unbiased take on what Milan Fashion Week’s Spring 2024 season delivered. Go ahead and scroll down for a completely unfiltered take on MFW, all through the eyes of our forum members.

HIT | Ferragamo

“A pleasure to watch as always. Maximilian Davis is really starting to hit his stride at the brand now.” [LadyJunon]
“His best collection yet for the house. It’s crisp.” [VERNIQUE]
“I felt that every idea and detail (the embroidered F lifted from Salvatore Ferragamo’s signature, the ankle strap on the sandals echoed in the leather collar detail of some of the looks, etc.) was well thought out and executed; the subtle bell-shaped sleeves on the tailoring looked very fresh; and the trail of very long fringe attached to the minimalist evening dresses was sexy and very chic at the same time.” [Kennnnn]
See all the looks from the Ferragamo Spring 2024 collection.

MISS | Philipp Plein

“The circus is in town!” [Thefrenchy]
“Another season, another PP clown-show but always good for a chuckle!” [zoom]
“I don’t know who is buying this. I’ve literally never seen Plein IRL. The collection is atrocious with almost no respite.” [Nimsay]
See all the looks from the Philipp Plein Spring 2024 collection.

MISS | Jil Sander

“A pity that the thieves who stole the new Balmain collection did not steal this as well…” [jeanclaude]
“Jil Sander was never this conceptual, and certainly never contrived. Lucie and Luke Meier either don’t know or don’t care about the spirit of the brand.” [Kennnnn]
“The bling just don’t go well with the clothes. It only cheapens the whole collection.” [Gazillion]
See all the looks from the Jil Sander Spring 2024 collection.

MISS | Ferrari

“What a waste of money.” [VERNIQUE]
“Ferrari? Looks more like a Fiat 500 painted in red…” [jeanclaude]
“I really wonder what’s the purpose of the existence of this line. Was it ever explained? It’s very difficult for me to comment on this collection because it’s a whole lot of nothing and I don’t understand where it’s meant to live…” [Thefrenchy]
See all the looks from the Ferrari Spring 2024 collection.

MISS | Bottega Veneta

“The moment Matthieu Blazy tries to be avant-garde he fails.” [jeanclaude]
“My problem is that Blazy over conceptualizes. He needs to be more instinctive, to know how to stop adding details over details over details. It could have been a really great collection if he hadn’t added a few extra coats, a few dresses and trousers with different lengths and so on.” [GivenchyAddict]
“Once again, too conceptual, too heavy-handed, and far too many competing ideas.” [Frederic01]
See all the looks from the Bottega Veneta Spring 2024 collection.

HIT | Missoni

“Got a soft spot for Filippo Grazioli’s Missoni and he always delivers.” [tourbillions]
“The nipples, super-mini dresses and the orange is a bit tacky, but delightfully so. It’s fun and a bit stupid.” [LadyJunon]
“Lovely! It’s very easy to understand, but it’s such a strong offering that I don’t see it as a disadvantage. Everything here is wearable and stylish in the best way possible. I hope it sells because Filippo clearly deserves to be successful.” [perhydrol]
See all the looks from the Missoni Spring 2024 collection.

HIT | Dolce & Gabbana

“Very sexy and effortless.” [tourbillions]
“May just be my most FAVORITE of collections during MFW, in all honesty! Absolutely love every last thing that I’m seeing – love the monochrome, the sheer fabrics mixed with the lingerie, the polka dots, the heels, the casting and the thought of this potentially photographed by Steven Meisel for the campaign.” [vogue28]
“I love the fact that it’s a streamlined collection. Looks fabulous. Who would have thought?” [Scotty]
See all the looks from the Dolce & Gabbana Spring 2024 collection.

HIT | Tom Ford

“It’s a very good debut from Peter Hawkings. It’s more focused and builds on the TF lexicon, those velvet pants suits will sell very well and be copied a lot.” [disco54]
“LOVE IT! There’s everything we love about Tom Ford in this collection.” [DK92]
“Massively thrilled Peter Hawkings didn’t shy away from the quintessential Tom Ford aesthetic, and kept this whole collection on-brand, from first to last look. Tom Ford, will always and forever, be a brand that does not need a rebrand of ANY sort. Very much a fan, it’s just all so chic, sleek and sexy…” [vogue28]
See all the looks from the Tom Ford Spring 2024 collection.

MISS | Gucci

“So underwhelming and terribly boring. There’s no signature, no discerning elements that separate these clothes from everything else out there at the moment.” [Frederic01]
“I’m disappointed. These are just clothes and nothing more, there’s no identity. I never liked Alessandro Michele’s aesthetics but he at least had something new to propose for the brand.” [Danilo Braz dos Santos]
“Not that far from what I was expecting: very commercial. There was nothing really bad, but nothing to gush about. It’s clothes ready to hit the stores. I hope Sabato de Sarno can stretch himself more here as time goes by.” [Marc10]
See all the looks from the Gucci Spring 2024 collection.

HIT | Versace

“Donatella knows how to make a woman look and feel good. Wow!” [prylvi]
“Literally the best fashion show since the whole fashion month started! The models, the clothes, the hair, the makeup and Claudia… OMG, what a GODDESS!” [Zorka]
“I am thoroughly able to appreciate how much of a departure this feels from recent Versace collections (even down to the beauty styling, which I thought was flawless). For me, Donatella going down the whole 1960s route feels fresh, loved all the mini-dresses, the checkerboard motifs and just about every single dress towards the end. Even the show space felt like a total breath of fresh air!” [vogue28]
See all the looks from the Versace Spring 2024 collection.

HIT | Max Mara

“Gorgeous. It’s very consistent with Max Mara’s simple and relaxed luxury. The color diversity and color blocking is stunning.” [GoldenPetals]
“Luxurious and timeless but updated with the current time. Ian Griffiths keeps delivering everything that I want from Max Mara. The color palette is delicious and choosing Tonne Goodman to style for the show is the best decision Ian has ever made. Another hit from Max Mara.” [THD96]
“It’s so slick and luxurious. I love the proportions and the color palette.” [GivenchyHomme]
See all the looks from the Max Mara Spring 2024 collection.

HIT | MM6 Maison Margiela

“It’s very chic and looks expensive for a diffusion line.” [FiLeReD]
“It’s very Margiela for Hermès in spirit, no? I like it very much. This is superior to 99.9% to what we saw in NYC and London while being in more of the same positioning.” [Lola701]
“So smart, so chic, so slick. It’s so good. This is what most of NYFW wanted to achieve but they have subpar hands to handle fine simplicity like this. I mean everything is so delicious here but I love that dress look 14. It’s simple yet so complex.” [TaylorBinque]
See all the looks from the MM6 Maison Margiela Spring 2024 collection.

MISS | Moschino

“JESUS CHRIST. Katie Grand’s part is one of the most TRAGIC things I’ve ever seen in my life!” [DK92]
“Carlyne is the saving grace of this mess of a show. No one literally asked for this.” [TaylorBinque]
“If I were the owner of Moschino, I would be crying and begging on my knees for Jeremy Scott to come back…” [jeanclaude]
See all the looks from the Moschino Spring 2024 collection.

HIT | Prada

“Absolutely in love with this collection! Very surprised! I need to see this in person, the details look exquisite. It feels more like one cohesive, solid collection than most of their recent ones.” [Joromana]
“Really tightly edited collection. A concise vision.” [Nimsay]
“It’s a great collection. This is the best collection that I’ve seen coming out of this Miuccia and Raf collaboration. My favorite looks are the pastel ones. They’re quite chic and reminded me of the former glorious Prada. And the sheer numbers are also great.” [THD96]
See all the looks from the Prada Spring 2024 collection.

HIT | Alberta Ferretti

“Light, breezy, another great collection from Ms. Ferretti!” [Ruito]
“Italian Ralph Lauren. Love the timelessness of this and it feels perfect for a Roman Summer Holiday. So many easy no-brainer separates. Finely made sheer gowns – which is her signature. The waist coat with slacks is perfect. Lovely.” [Nimsay]
“Typical Alberta Ferretti in the best possible way. So romantic & dreamy! Her customers are going to eat this up.” [bluestar]
See all the looks from the Alberta Ferretti Spring 2024 collection.

HIT | Emporio Armani

“Gorgeous color palette.” [Nimsay]
“I absolutely adore him. Bravissimo, maestro! Bright, beautiful сlothes and fantastic sense of color! He absolutely knows for whom he makes clothes and always feels it.” [HelgaZ]
“Another season and another collection from Armani which just flows oh so beautifully, from start to finish. I love how we start with the muted colour palette, and then ease into the greens, purples and we then conclude with Armani’s signature pink. Flawless!” [vogue28]
See all the looks from the Emporio Armani Spring 2024 collection.

MISS | Fendi

“I Fendied of boredom here…” [jeanclaude]
“Kim Jones really has no clue on how to do womenswear. Please, fire him and get someone else with skills.” [Creative]
“It’s getting tired and sad to witness every new season how constantly this guy is ruining Fendi. He has no clue how to dress a woman and make her shine. Hopeless. Please. please let him go and bring a skilled womenswear designer back.” [VERNIQUE]
See all the looks from the Fendi Spring 2024 collection.

MISS | Blumarine

“I feel like Nicola Brognano can do better than this…” [Lola701]
“Disappointing. Last season was so much better.” [RedSmokeRise]
“Did they get a budget cut or something? This feels worlds away from his other shows (which were great, absolutely loved last season especially). There’s some gorgeous stuff but the styling is really boring and set even drier.” [gossiping]
See all the looks from the Blumarine Spring 2024 collection.

MISS | Diesel

“What a mess.” [matheus_s]
“It just doesn’t do anything anymore. Yeah there’s some great textile potential but this is just a mess of so many different ideas and yet it’s once again the same thing they’ve been doing since the start.” [Cocteau Stone]
“This collection is stressed, everything is on the verge of a burnout, overworked, picked and plucked.” [Norden]
See all the looks from the Diesel Spring 2024 collection.

HIT | Roberto Cavalli

“There’s no way I’m gonna hate on this. It’s true to the DNA of Cavalli, with plenty of desirable pieces.” [GoldenPetals]
“It’s a good collection from Fausto. He has found the perfect way to mix his tacky ways with a Cavalli sensibility. It’s sensual, well styled and quite efficient.” [Lola701]
“Glamorous, sexy, well made – his first powerful collection for the house.” [TianCouture]
See all the looks from the Roberto Cavalli Spring 2024 collection.

MISS | Etro

“I really think Marco de Vincenzo is lost at Etro. I don’t know but there is something missing. The charm. The elegance. The bourgeois.” [TaylorBinque]
“It lacks focus and real direction. It really goes all over the place. The styling is terrible.” [Lola701]
“The styling is horrendous. He needs to go back to last season.” [LadyJunon]
See all the looks from the Etro Spring 2024 collection.

HIT | Del Core

“I love how crisp and down-to-earth this collection is. Especially the closing look is wonderful, I want to touch it and investigate the simple cut and the fabric. The bags are also interesting, they feel like an organic part of the look and that’s a serious achievement for such a young brand.” [perhydrol]
“This was so good! I think Daniel Del Core is brilliant and I was so much looking forward for his collection. I love most of it. It all works well and it’s cohesive and seems to be perfectly executed.” [WAVES]
“This is so chic. Experimental without being overt. It’s the little touches. Like the front tucks of the tailoring jackets. Great color palette as well.” [youthinasia]
See all the looks from the Del Core Spring 2024 collection.

MISS | Bally

“This brand is doomed – and lost forever.” [FiLeReD]
“This is just atrocious. Basics can be good but the cut of those clothes is literally worse than Phillipp Plein.” [Lola701]
“This is just a new level of bad for this season. Literally looks like a supermarket’s in-house clothing line. I appreciate Simone Bellotti had limited time but taste is taste.” [HazJW]
See all the looks from the Bally Spring 2024 collection.

HIT | Giorgio Armani

“The quality of those pieces is insane…” [Lola701]
“I like it, as usual. Slightly outside of his usual offer IMO but also very him.” [WAVES]
“It’s Giorgio Armani doing exactly what Giorgio Armani does best, and under no circumstances can I hate on him for producing such a collection. It’s flawless from start to finish, and despite my love for those Armani blues and soft pinks, it’s the combination of the gold and grey which cements my love for this collection!” [vogue28]

That’s a wrap on Milan Fashion Week, and this Spring 2024 season has been a whirlwind from start to finish. The first portion of the week gave us buzz-worthy shows from MFW staples Fendi, Alberta Ferretti, Etro, Max Mara, Prada, Gucci and Moschino.
During the second half of the week, Fausto Puglisi took us deep into the jungle for Roberto Cavalli, we got a revival of the 1960s at Versace, Peter Hawkings proved himself to be the ultimate successor to the Tom Ford label, following his dazzling debut as creative director. At Bottega Veneta, Matthieu Blazy is simply bursting full of innovative ideas. It came as no surprise to see Giorgio Armani cement himself as the undisputed king of Italian fashion, and we’re only just coming up for air after so much… fab·​u·​los·​i·​ty.

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

Dolce & Gabbana made the genius move to welcome back Steven Meisel as the brand’s campaign photographer, with unveiling of a flawless Summer 2023 series starring Mariacarla Boscono which ultimately thrilled us to no end (after all, we’ve been waiting for Meisel’s return since Fall 2006). We’re extremely pleased to report that it’s a repeat performance for Fall 2023 season, as the Italian designer duo once again rely upon the magic of Meisel for their latest campaign installment. Following a recent appearance via Meisel’s lens for the cover of British Vogue, Dolce & Gabbana snap up Maya Jama as the face and embodiment of their Fall 2023 collection who oozes sultry glamour, rocking a head full of Sophia Loren-esque voluminous red curls while lounging seductively atop a black latex chair (all seemingly inspired by a vintage Richard Avedon photograph from 1975)

Needless to say, the campaign went down a treat with our forum members. “Massively into this! Pretty major for Maya Jama to have scored a Dolce & Gabbana campaign too, even more so to have been photographed by Steven Meisel – again. The red hair immediately transported me back to Vogue Italia’s May 2008 cover story with Eva Mendes. I cannot wait, I repeat… cannot wait for more!” declared vogue28.
“Fantastic! I am incredibly thrilled that this renewed collaboration with Meisel was not a one time thing and can only hope that Dolce & Gabbana will continue to go down this path with him. The campaign looks promising, I love this look on Maya Jama!” aracic agreed.
“Do we have a new Meisel muse here? I’m here for it. She’s so stunning (and a great and charismatic presenter),” chimed in guimon.
Ivano shared the same level of enthusiasm, raving: “Hot and fun! Very into this.”
“It’s a sexy campaign! I’m glad that D&G have brought back the glory days of the brand with these ads,” VogueGirl8910 applauded.

Since its inception back in 2014, the American edition of Harper’s Bazaar have bestowed upon us their annual icons issue with each and every September issue and the magazine is showing no signs of dropping the tradition anytime soon.
Under the tutelage of the publication’s current editor Samira Nasr, this year’s inductees into Bazaar‘s icon hall of fame for September 2023 are Kendall Jenner, Doja Cat and Paul Mescal. The trio of cover stars are each given their own solo cover for the event, all appearing before the lens of photographer Mario Sorrenti. Kendall Jenner, in her cover shot (above), wears Miu Miu while Doja Cat (below) wears a show-stopping creation from Dolce & Gabbana and Paul Mascal (after the jump) sports Gucci – all selected by stylist Beat Bolliger.

Per usual, members of our forums were quick to respond to the covers. “Icons? What icons?” asked WilliamsLe010919.
“Where are the icons?” MON laughed.
“I totally forbid the use of the word ICON from a fashion magazine until the end of time!” declared Kerg.
“Bland and boring, two words which are now synonymous with Samira Nasr’s Harper’s Bazaar. Absolutely no surprise AT ALL to see these covers, not even for such a celebratory month like September, have zero oomph or pizazz to them. A downright embarrassment to declare this an issue dedicated to icons – and deliver us this,” voiced vogue28.
“You wouldn’t think these are supposed to be September covers! Everything is just so cold and sterile. The fact that they wanted Kendall AND Doja screams desperation, such a massive red flag,” Benn98 pointed out.

Glamour is always a good idea. Even more so when it comes to the unveiling of the dazzling new fall collections via the covers and pages of our beloved September issues. Always a magazine to favor pure unapologetic glamour, the British fashion, lifestyle and society magazine that is Tatler delivers us just that with the unveiling of its September 2023 offering. Tatler‘s editor-in-chief Richard Dennen makes Rita Ora his cover star in the process, who fresh from the cover of Vogue Australia dials up the glam and is ravishing in red Dolce & Gabbana starring in the Luc Braquet-shot cover image, captured on location on the manicured grounds of an English country home.

“Tatler knows exactly what Tatler is,” noted 8eight the moment the cover dropped.
“I love the cover, very Tatler. Most Vogues and ELLEs can only dream of such quality at this point,” Urban Stylin applauded.
“Beautiful and bourgeois just as Tatler was intended,” approved SLFC.
Also very pleasantly surprised was vogue28, voicing: “Not particularly interested in seeing Rita Ora down at the newsstand but I will admit that this is a rather nice cover. There’s a strong sense of old-school glamour for September which I appreciate thoroughly, and it’s all just so quintessential Tatler. A thumbs up from me!”
“Rita Ora is a good looking woman regardless of her success. Great for her for scoring Tatler who made her look amazing. The editorial mood is great and well achieved. I miss this side of fashion,” said WAVES.
