    Same face each time from this model.. The child outshines her.. Quite surprised for vogue Italia.. It could have been great with a ether substance model..

    • Jayde

      I think the same face was intentional.  She’s not just a mother figure — she’s like an oversized doll.

      • Lauren Helen

        I agree with Jayde on this!

      • Joyce

        I agree it was very intentional…

    not sure why, but the little girl was a lot more better than the model. but maybe it’s ’cause of what Jayde said.

    great idea… vogue italia always brings new points of view… the the doll thing… if we think nowadays many people let the clothes or the industry wear themselves besides the oposite! genail…

    awesome concept, cloths, styling, locations, ect ect.  but the ideas how to translate it in pictures is pathatic, its very boring photographed. sad.

    I love how quirky this is.  Although I agree the same expression in every photo was probably intentional, her face still could have been a litttttle more interesting.
