“It all seems so amateurish. Steven Klein hasn’t done anything really good or exceptional in years,” immediately critiqued DK92.

“I hate when Klein’s work looks like it was taken with a phone camera and edited in VSCO,” chimed in an underwhelmed Avonlea.

Sharing the same sentiments was berbe. “The first cover really giving 2017 iPhonegraphy,” echoed berbe.

“Never minded the sight of Kim Kardashian on the covers of magazines but this is embarrassing, and really wasn’t necessary. Three truly hideous covers – horribly photographed by Steven Klein and horribly styled by Jahleel Weaver,” voiced vogue28.

“I like the covers but the first one with the hat is stunning,” admired MModa.

“Oh actually the first cover with the hat is gorgeous and is giving MOTHER!” proseccotabis exclaimed.
