Haha, thanks. I've actually been waiting hours for someone else to start a thread, so this was funny...
ETA: I saw it on MDC now. I thought Bianca and I were cosmically linked.

That's a lot of color, and a hell of a lot of Miu Miu...
I totally give credit to Dazed & Confused for giving the new kids a chance on the cover (and inside for that matter). First Katrin, and now this little IMG group. I'm totally biased where Kori is concerned, but she definitely shines for me.

I was following the pack all swallowed in their coats with scarves of red tied ’round their throats to keep their little heads from fallin’ in the snow and I turned ’round and there you go and, Michael, you would fall and turn the white snow red as strawberries in the summertime..
Yeah, fresh faces are good. And even better when it's not the most hyped ones (even if these girls all have/had quite a bit of buzz). Just too bad that the cover itself is pretty garish.
I like the overall atmosphere of this cover, the lighting and the colors and to me, even not so fond of this Miu Miu collection, it works from head to toe here.
I have to agree with Youarearockstar on Kori, she outshines a bit the others even if I'm positively suprised by Pernille (not totally convinced but she looks rather endearing here). I guess it's also a good thing for her to start with some printwork before the four big fashion weeks...
