Make no mistake D la Repubblica stays winning. Under the tutelage of former Vogue Italia editor-in-chief Emanuele Farneti, recent covers featuring Mariacarla Boscono and Lilli Cummings have commanded our attention completely. Volume #4 of D la Repubblica‘s ‘the BIG d’ offering is here for 2024. The limited-edition special collector’s issue is printed in a large format, two issues in one, and spread over 392 pages. Farneti welcomes back Rianne van Rompaey as a cover girl, mere weeks after her last. The Dutch beauty takes Sicily for the occasion, and joined by her fellow model friends throughout the Karim Sadli-shot shoot. For cover one (below), Rianne is styled by Jane How sporting a vintage bikini. For cover two, Rianne poses alongside Mica Argañaraz, Julia Nobis, Kiki Willems, Jonas Glöer, Leon Dame, and Paul Hameline.

Read below the reactions of theFashionSpot’s forum members:

“They are best friends in their private lives. It’s a great cover. Farneti is doing an amazing job,” forum member BelkaniStaCouture commended.

“Skinny besties unite. Both covers are quite nice, I have no doubt that Sadli did a fantastic job here,” applauded aracic.

“Both covers are nice but it seems more suitable for the summer, not winter…” voiced Xone.

Not everyone was so forthcoming, however. “Depressing,” described Xone upon checking out the covers.

“The same people over and over. This cover does nothing for me,” GivenchyAddict confessed.

Since 2017, we have been forever indebted to Marta Ortega Pérez, chair of Inditex, who has blessed us with Steven Meisel as Zara’s campaign photographer for the brand’s main womenswear fashion advertising campaigns. Season after season, campaign after campaign, the partnership has been a joy to witness and here at theFashionSpot we are always sat in anticipation as to what’s next.
Seven years later and the bond between Zara and Meisel remains as strong as ever, with the masterful American photographer having now collaborated on a whole entire collection with the Spanish retailer, titled ‘Steven Meisel New York’ which will be available for purchase on Zara’s website September 18.
For the accompanying advertising campaign, Meisel called upon his muses from past and present, including Irina Shayk, Lexi Boling, Ash Stymest, Amber Valletta, Eva Herzigova, Kit Butler, Liya Kebede, Angelina Kendall, Alton Mason, Kaia Gerber, Avanti Nagrath, Leon Dame, Sora Choi, Scott Barnhill, Loulou Westlake, Jackson Jarrell, Alberth Johnson, Gigi Hadid, Elio Berenett, Wali Deutsch, Gendai Funato, Akbar Shamji, Penelope Tree, Gray Eberley, Nyawurh Chuol and Linda Evangelista. The impressive lineup of A-list talent of course don pieces from the upcoming collection, posing in Meisel’s photographic studio and captured in black and white.

Unsurprisingly, members of our forums were left in complete awe. “It looks like a long Vogue Italia editorial, and I love it! Brings me back to the great times of fashion magazines. The cast is superb,” raved ivano.
“The images are FAB! Meisel’s work for Zara has never missed once,” enthused fenty.
“No one does portraits like him. He really brings out the best in whoever he photographs,” wrote GivenchyHomme.
Vogue28 was also in awe, commenting: “All of this is enough to make me go weak at the knees, it’s all just so heavenly and divine. It goes without saying that Steven Meisel is a master at his craft, an absolute gift to us all. The whole entire cast here look utterly sensational, so lovely to see the likes of Linda, Amber, Eva, Penelope… I could go on and on. OBSESSED!”
“Perfectly executed and divine! The sheer size of this portfolio is utterly impressive! I am blown away by the portraits, which I find absolutely incredible. The images could definitely be compiled into a sublime issue of Vogue Italia some eight years ago,” noted aracic.

Since its debut back in 2021 with the unveiling of Issue #0, Perfect has become a magazine within a league of its own. The biannual publication founded by stylist Katie Grand and now edited by Bryan Yambao (also known as fashion influencer Bryanboy), has favored multi-covers since day one and along with the launch of Issue #5 for the Fall 2023 season, the title has undergone a redesign and boasts a new format.

In order to generate as much hype as possible, a grand total of 29 covers have been produced for us to deliberate over and collect. Cover stars on this occasion include Dominique Fishback, Kesewa Aboah, Vittoria Ceretti, Corbin Shaw, Natasha Poly, Rick Owens, Gwendoline Christie, Leon Dame, Kylie Minogue, Ida Heiner, América González, Davika Hoorne, Adwoa Aboah, Ned Sims, Ikram Abdi, Oluchi Onweagba, Zayn Malik, Alexandra Daddario, Gabrielle Union and Steve Mackey.

As per usual with multi-covers, only a select few are guaranteed to standout from the rest. “The Vittoria Ceretti cover is the only one that would make you stop IRL,” voiced Lola701.
“Love Vittoria’s and Kylie,” echoed Xone.
“Only the covers with Vittoria and Kylie are the best, the others are kinda dull,” VogueGirl8910 chimed in.
In complete agreement was vogue28: “Never been all too impressed with Perfect but I am very pleasantly surprised by some of these covers. Always so wonderful to see Natasha Poly and that Vittoria Ceretti is rather gorgeous. However, the inclusion of Kylie Minogue is simply the icing on the cake for me here.”
“Vittoria, Natasha and Kylie all look incredible. Some of the other covers are good but blimey did they really needed this many?” quizzed WAVES.

The global health crisis is forcing major fashion houses to get creative. Conventional photoshoots are out thanks to social distancing and travel bans. That’s why Jacquemus opted to photograph Bella Hadid and Barbie Ferreira remotely and Riccardo Tisci asked Kendall Jenner to shoot herself for Burberry’s TB Summer Monogram campaign. Now Valentino follows suit with its #ValentinoEmpathy Fall 2020 ads. Pierpaolo Piccioli joins forces with an impressive cast that includes Adut Akech, Christy Turlington, Janet Mock, Leon Dame, Liu Wen, Mariacarla Boscono, Naomi Campbell along with Vittoria Ceretti. The brand is even donating 1 million euros to Rome’s Lazzaro Spallanzani hospital to coincide with the campaign.

A few images in particular stand out for our forum members. “I’m all for Janet Mock. Such a goddess!” admired helmutnotdead.

“Can we all just take a moment to celebrate the fact that Janet Mock is featured in this, a black trans woman in a high-fashion campaign is something we don’t see every day and should be applauded,” raved [Piece Of Me].

“Liu Wen, Mariacarla Boscono, Christy Turlington and Vittoria Ceretti should have been the only ones in the campaign!” declared Mercury6181.

“Wow, Liu Wen is really serving it in this cluster-mess of a campaign. She’s even got the wind in the hair action going on! Should’ve just given her the solo campaign based on effort alone,” praised RedSmokeRise.

But the campaign wasn’t for everyone. “It can’t be a real campaign. It’s so bad, I feel embarrassed looking at this,” expressed a clearly disappointed avonlea002.

“I’ve seen more organized and cohesive Instagram feeds. This is terribly embarrassing,” echoed aracic.

We’re obviously huge admirers of Steven Meisel. Whether the legendary photographer is making Zara’s clothing appear luxe or delivering the goods for British Vogue, we’re always impressed. Meisel’s latest triumph? Capturing an all-star cast for Pat McGrath Labs’ Dark Star mascara campaign. Naomi Campbell, Salomon Diaz, Maty Fall Diba, Marisa Berenson, Hudson Kroenig, Leon Dame, Tess McMillan, Irina Shayk along with Damian Hurley were all shot in a studio setting for the series of glamorous images.

The campaign was clearly a hit with our forum members. “Instantly obsessed! No one shoots studio like Meisel! Damian is a f*cking superstar! One superstar next to another and everyone is shining thanks to Meisel!” heralded aracic.

“What a breath of fresh air! There’s nothing like a good old Meisel shoot to raise our spirits!” applauded GivenchyHomme.

GERGIN was also a fan: “Leon Dame slays!”

“The retouching is crazy, but I’m still here for this campaign. Marisa Berenson and that shot of Damian under Irina? Yes, please!” said dodencebt.
