She looks ‘seductive’ like the title of the issue, and, in my opinion, leaving her reputation to the side, not trashy at all. Just the perfect balance. She has a face that translates well into the sexy market but can do high fashion too.”
“This looks really good and very Italian!” miguelalmeida exclaimed. “She looks like a superb, luscious, luxurious Italian woman, with a great figure, body and sexy cleavage, very poised and beautiful! Everyone that is on top of this industry supports her, soo that means she’s really good and this cover shows it, this is one of my favorite Vogue Italia covers of 2012! Kate already showed us she’s a good high fashion model, too bad some of you don’t embrace it, because the results are very good. At first I didn’t like her, but with time she proved she deserves being in this industry,” he added.
Though I wasn’t too keen on Upton when she exploded off the cover of Sports Illustrated and did the “Cat Daddy” for Terry Richardson, she’s really starting to win me over. I’m curious to see what her Steven Meisel-photographed editorial for Vogue Italia looks like, but for now I’ll be content with this cover.
