Featured Article: Vogue Turkey 2012 Covers Recap

Vogue Turkey has been one of those international editions with outstanding covers line up since their first issue back in 2010. They started 2012 with runway regular Elsa Sylvan in a rich red fur coat, shot against neutral background by KT Auleta. The New York born photographer also photographed the current campaign face of Estée Lauder, Constance Jablonski for the magazine’s June issue. Fellow spokesmodel of the giant cosmetic brand, Joan Smalls also made appearance on the December cover, by Cuneyt Akeroglu.

The famed Turkish photographer also snapped two other 2012 editions from Vogue Turkey: the April issue with Lara Stone, and September with Natasha Poly. The magazine also made history by producing one artsy yet controversial cover for their November art issue, created by Tanner Ceylan. It’s very unusual for Vogue to produced something as intriguing yet amazing like that.

The rest of the cover stars this year are Karolina Kurkova for February (by Alexei Hay), Angelina Jolie for March (by Mert Alas & Marcus Piggott), Aline Weber for May (by David Vasiljevic), Carola Remer for July (by Laurence Passera), Miranda Kerr for August (by Sofia Sanchez & Mauro Mongiello), and Laetitia Casta for October (by Sean & Seng).

Featured Article: Marie Claire US 2012 Covers Recap

Editors shake up also hit Marie Claire US! Anne Fulenwider, formerly at Brides since October 2011, named as the new Editor in Chief of the magazine earlier this September, and replacing Joanna Coles who moved to Cosmopolitan (she helmed MC for the last six years). Fulenwider is back to Marie Claire because she had served as an executive editor under Coles for two years starting in September 2009. There are not much changed on the cover ever since Fulenwider helmed it. Next year, perhaps?

Anyway, Marie Claire US tapped top celebrities as this year’s cover stars. Starting with Academy Award winner Angelina Jolie who fronted the January issue, by Alexei Hay. They also listed singer and The Voice mentor, Christina Aguilera as the magazine’s February cover star. She was photographed by Tesh, who also shot seven (!) other front pages this year. The British photographer snapped the April, May, June, August, September, November and December issue featuring Leighton Meester, Zooey Deschanel, Jessica Alba, Kristen Wiig, Miley Cyrus (our favourite), Ashley Greene, and Jessica Chastain respectively. The rest of the celebrities who graced the magazine this year are Eva Mendes (March) and Blake Lively (July), both by Txema Yeste and Gwen Stefani (October), by Peggy Sirota.

Featured Article: Marie Claire UK 2012 Covers Recap

Marie Claire UK got amazing set of cover stars but they failed to brings wonders on the newsstands covers. We are disappointed with their works on Liv Tyler, Christina Ricci, Cheryl Cole, Marion Cotillard, Rachel Weisz, and Taylor Swift. Not that they’re not looking pretty, but the posed and images selection are boring. They should’ve picked something better from the editorials. The ladies looks way better and attractive on the subscriber covers. Marie Claire UK could’ve come up with better results and far more interesting images with those great celebrities.

Our favourite cover this year is the one with Blake Lively on it. Even though it’s a reprint, but the color works. The other reprints this year are Angelina Jolie‘s June issue and Eva Mendes‘ July issue. Both were taken from the US edition. The remaining covers featuring singer Kelly Rowland, athlete Jessica Ennis and former Pussycat Dolls member and the currect X Factor judge, Nicole Scherzinger are ok looking. We just wished they used brighter background colors.

Overall, the subscriber covers are better than the newsstands this year. The magazine has tapped singer turned fashion designer Gwen Stefani as the January 2013 cover star. Unfortunately, the image is a reprint from 2011 Elle US.
