A More Seasoned Approach
Elle Macpherson graced the cover of ELLE France’s December 2022 issue, but it seems that the result may not have been what readers were expecting. The reaction to the cover has been mixed, with some praising Macpherson’s natural beauty and the simplicity of the shot, while others have expressed disappointment.
What Went Wrong?
One of the main criticisms of the cover is that it doesn’t feel fresh or new. Macpherson, who is now 58 years old, has been a fixture in the fashion industry for decades. While her age shouldn’t be a factor in her ability to grace a magazine cover, some readers feel that the cover image doesn’t reflect the changing face of fashion.
Another criticism is that the cover is simply too plain. The image of Macpherson is shot against a white background, with no props or other elements to add visual interest. Some readers feel that this lack of creativity makes the cover feel dated and uninspired.
Mixed Reactions
Despite the negative feedback, the cover has also received its fair share of praise. Some readers appreciate the fact that Macpherson is not trying to hide her age, and they find her natural beauty refreshing. Others simply admire Macpherson’s long and successful career in the fashion industry, and they see the cover as a celebration of her longevity.
- “Elle Macpherson looks stunning on the cover of ELLE France. She’s a true icon, and it’s refreshing to see a woman her age gracing the cover of a major fashion magazine.”
- “The cover is a bit plain, but I think that’s part of what makes it so striking. Elle Macpherson is a timeless beauty, and the simplicity of the cover allows her natural beauty to shine through.”
- “I’m not a fan of the cover. I think it’s too plain and dated. Elle Macpherson is a beautiful woman, but I don’t think this cover does her justice.”
Conclusion
Ultimately, the reaction to ELLE France’s December 2022 cover is a matter of personal opinion. Some readers will appreciate the simplicity and natural beauty of the shot, while others will be disappointed by its lack of creativity. Only time will tell whether the cover will be remembered as a classic or a forgotten footnote in fashion history.
