Direct Copy?

Your opinion. A straight-off copy? Which is the better version? I have to say though, even if US Vogue is the original cover, I like the Vogue China cast better- Du Juan and Liu Wen (dream come true- I really hope Liu Wen got the front cover instead of Du Juan but Du Juan is a powerhouse in China- well, at least Liu Wen's in the cover) and Karlie, Constance, Anna J and Lily Donaldson. I think the Vogue China cover serves the purpose of top models- established top models on front cover and rising stars on the back. Agree?

The New Batch

Kudos to Vogue China again for featuring such a stellar new casts.

Models from Liu Wen to Kiki Kang; Hanne and Patricia van de Vliet; Karlie Kloss and Mirte Maas; Du Juan, Philip Huang and Shu Pei and others are featured in the February issue. Although the cover itself is a pretty one, I would very much prefer Liu Wen to be on the cover. I don't understand how she could be the most sought after Chinese fashion model at this time and yet she's not granted for a Chinese Vogue cover. I don't mean that Shu Pei does not deserve it- she does but I just feel that it is extremely unfair to Liu Wen. At that peak period of Du Juan's modeling time, she has graced so many of Chinese Vogue covers (and still counting). Mirte, on the other hand, looks amazing here. I like the white Gucci dress they wore and the gold font. So pure- like.

Editorials that caught my attention are :

Hanne's Under My Skin

and Karlie's Perfect Sport.
