Fashion Magazine Cover: Preview June 2011

Well, from what Preview posted as their "teaser" on who their June 2011 cover girl is, I didn't expect it to be who their covergirlS are.

Solenn Heusaff, Heart Evangelista, Lovi Poe and Marian Rivera grace the Preview June 2011 issue. These girls star on a Filipino movie remake of "Temptation Island" showing this June. This seems to be a promotional shoot for the movie in a fashion magazine, like what Vogue US did in their May 2011 issue which features actress Reese Witherspoon in "Water for Elephants".

The concept of "retro revival" is definitely wonderful using Marc Jacobs Spring 2011 RTW collection, with those prints and silhouettes and leather flower obi belts, but their poses are kind of awkward for these dresses. Lovi's dress is out-of-shape, not flattering her figure and without the belt, looks like a blanket or curtain she just wrapped on her. They shouldn't have taken out the belt and her pose is awkward against the rest of the girls'. There were too many arm poses that are awkwardly placed. Marian is the most polished, I have to say, but she definitely looked disconnected from the other girls. Also, the dress, there should be a flower shaped on her shoulder, but it looked like a crumpled strap.

There were definitely many firsts in Philippine fashion magazines on their June issues: Metro, featuring Matt Lanter from 90210, alongside Kim Chiu, Mega, with the 3 Pinay Supermodels in one cover and Preview, with the cast of the movie, "Temptation Island". There were hits and misses, but these serve as challenges to their competitors and future covers.

Who do you think has the best June 2011 cover?
