Don’t like it at all.  Self-serving effort on Tim Walker’s part.  Trying too hard to look artsy. “Artistic masturbation”, as Woody Allen would call it.

I don’t see the clothes in all those far shots and the lighting makes the colors look blah…like urine. 

And this is the kind of editorial that reminds you that models are not actresses.  She looks so dead and hollow.

This has got to be one of the most disappointing Vogue Italia issue for me.

I really hate the lighting in this editorial. Vogue Italia is usually high class and beautiful but this is dissapointing.

The first shot is amazing in my opinion. Really, I love it. She looks so distraught while the soldiers are so prim, and perfect. The rest of the editorial is kind of overkill though.
