I know, I know, this post is so late and by now pretty much everyone on the planet has seen Alexa Chung's ELLE UK March 2012 cover. But as ELLE's one of my favourite magazines I couldn't really ignore their second largest issue of the year, could I? Alexa was photographed by Thomas Schenk and models looks from the Louis Vuitton S/S 2012 collection with some seriously gorge Dolce & Gabbana heels on both the newsstand and subscribers editions.
I very rarely prefer the newsstand cover to the subscribers edition when it comes to ELLE UK, but this month the sugary baby-blue background wins out against the muggy grey.
Also, has anyone else noticed both ELLE UK and British Vogue used the cover line "Oh So Pretty" this month. I have no idea what this means, other than March is oh so pretty...

and both Vogue and elle features LV on the cover. Alexa looks great in both outfits but I prefer the newstand edition! x
ReplyDeleteI notices the same thing and have mentioned it here http://thegirlwhocouldntbeafashionista.blogspot.com/2012/02/espionage-alexa-chung-covers-elle-uk.html
ReplyDeleteWhat an odd coincidence it is. But I guess that's all you feel like saying when in the presence of such pretty pastels.
Like you and Diana - I had thought the same thing as I passed Elle in the supermarket and then went home to my subscriber's copy and thought- meh! Do like the top and collar on the subscriber's cover, saying that!!
ReplyDeleteI also prefer the newsstand cover, partly because her lower legs look so overly photoshopped in the subscriber's. Seriously, don' t they look weird?
ReplyDeleteAlexa does have very skinny legs, but I do agree they look overly thin on the subs cover.
DeleteHate to go against the grain, but the subscribers copy is my fave. Think it's more to do with the brighter blue of the sofa than Alexa though!
ReplyDeletei like the subscribers one--she looks great. those shoes are killer, too!
ReplyDeleteMine has Karl Lagerfeld on it??? How did that happen?? x
ReplyDeleteThe Karl cover is limited edition, so you're very lucky you scored that one!
DeleteHas the Alexa interview in it though.... x
ReplyDeleteI prefer the subscribers copy.
