We stan ELLE France hard here on theFashionSpot, and you cannot blame us. After all, the magazine outshines the competition with an effortless ease – issue after issue, cover after cover. Malgosia Bela, Léa Seydoux and Yasmin Le Bon have graced the magazine recently and now it’s time for the celebratory ‘Spécial Mode’ issue which is bestowed upon us twice a year and is essentially the magazine’s big fashion bonanza.
Véronique Philiponnat welcomes Iselin Steiro and Saskia de Brauw as cover girls for the occasion, making the event of a dedicated fashion issue feel all that more special. The top models both pose for photographer Daniel Jackson across a duo of covers and throughout the accompanying cover story, complete with styling from Geraldine Saglio. Iselin, from Norway, poses in a leather Louis Vuitton jacket in her respective cover (below) while Saskia (from the Netherlands) dashes across the studio before Jackson’s lens wearing Prada in cover number two (after the jump).
Read below the reactions of theFashionSpot’s forum members:
“It’s really giving Vogue France a run for its money! Love both covers,” admired Lax89.
“Iselin is enough for me. Amazing cover!” heralded forum member thiago.
Also very much an admirer was aracic, commenting: “Ahhh, Iselin! I love this. I must admit that I was hoping for a cover with the two of them together, but I’ll take what I can get. This takes me back to better fashion times!”
“Honestly, it’s times like these which completely restore my faith in magazines! What an absolute feast for the eyes. First, not one but two rather delightful covers (once again) from ELLE France. Then, two terrific and talented models, photographed by an equally as talented photographer. Throw Geraldine Saglio into the mix and a ‘Spécial Mode’ issue and I’m hyperventilating!” exclaimed vogue28.
