I hope my picture nr 1 # will win! Would be fantasic to be on the cover of Dujour Magazine! xxx
On a secondthought the title theme could also be an homage to Nabokov’s “Lolita”.
I love #3. It’s soft, pretty and feminine. Beautiful!!!
#1 please! SO beautiful!!!
I love both #4 and #5 – but vote for # 4 I also love the lace top and the innocence.
Cover #4 would appeal to a wider range of girls at a first look/glance. Sweet but not overly whimsical for a first look.
Cover #5!!
I’m admittedly biased towards cover #4.
A few months ago I found the lace blouse the model is wearing at a Salvation Army in Rockland, Maine. It was too small for me, but I figured I’d just buy it and then worry about finding it a good home. I asked Anja V. of Clever Nettle if I might send it to her. I told her that she more than welcome to sell the blouse in her etsy shop or keep it. Either way, I knew it would have better luck finding a good home than sitting in my closet.
Come to find out, this little blouse has made quite a journey worthy of a story. From a thrift store in coastal Maine, to Portland, Oregon… into the hands of Dujour Magazine. And this, this story makes the impulse and the effort to give new life to a darling lace blouse completely worth the while.
And so, yes, of course I vote for the story of the Cover of #4.
The LAST ONE!! Why? It is going to hold the eye for a longer time- her look is gaze-y and deep- makes you want to keep looking. Good, balanced composition. Good light. The lace covering the face is interesting but not a cover shot- too dark!
Cover #3. Looks like Virgin Suicides.
no.3 is beautiful with an old- fashioned yet refreshingly youthful theme..like the characters of ‘Little Women’.
I vote cover #1
I think it’s the most striking and interesting
I love the last shot.
The model looks so angelic . I can totally see how it would be perfect for the cover of a magazine.
Possible theme: Vintage Lace.
Cover #2 Because there is nothing sexier and more romantic at the same time than a confident woman being in balance with her body and showing it. I also love the romantic summer-lace aesthetic. Great Work.
Number 3! I adore the Big Love/Virgin Suicides feel of it.
I like the first one….I just feel like the girls are a bit young in the other photos and I’m not one for boobs on a cover.
Cover # 3 is gorgeous, gets my vote!
COVER #1!!
It’s gorgeous and atmospheric and desperate, I love the lighting and her fringe is right on trend.
I’d guess that the theme of the issue is “Delicate”. I see a lot of delicate details in the photos and the lace is obviously part of that.
All beautiful! But #5 it is.
Mmmm Lace Issue?
xx
3 definitely reminds me of Virgin Suicides and therefore gets my vote! If i were to guess at the title i’d probably say The…Romance Issue x
It has to be cover 1 – I love it as it’s retrotastic & think it’s mysterious enough to appeal to a wide age group.
oops… forgot to add I’d call the issue ‘capture’,
Cover1 – the rest are a bit hum-ho fashion shoot.
I like the playing with lace and close up of the face and hands business
I choose photo #4. I think it’s so innocent and so pretty! Plus, that pink bow is just too cute.
If I had to guess the theme, I would have to say it definitely has something to do with the Lisbon sisters of the Virgin Suicides. My guess would either be:
1. Romance Issue
2. Young American Girls Issue
5. Lace Issue
It’s hard to make up my mind.
