Gorgeous, classic shoot. Would have been even better if Roversi still had access to his polaroid film, but it seems his digital means are getting a bit closer to the look he wants. Well cast, well styled. Simply beautiful. Referential but not overly so.

Just lovely. Beautiful portraits by Roversi. I can definitely see the refined Penn influence.

I think Kirsi has huge potential, but she doesn’t quite know how to model yet. The poses feel too set up, like someone put her in these positions. I am not trying to be negative, I think she is gorgeous, but she is just relying on pretty at the moment.

Love, love, love. Even though she looks cross-eyed in the 4th pic, funny it passed cause it’s just all wrong.
Off-topic : Could You please give Suvi some credit for the Elle France cover?

Love Krisi’s look, there is just something really intriguing about her face.
It also seems like she is slowly becoming a VI favorite, congrats;]

@ M
I know it’s only an Elle cover, but most Elle covers get listed in here anyway, and yes I know it doesn’t look good at all, but I’d just like Suvi to get some credit.

I don’t know…I’m much more impressed with Paolo Roversi’s composition and photo texture than I am with Kirsi Pyrhonen. She’s pretty and all, but she’s got basically one look going on here.

i don’t know why but i love that look!

k: “…but she’s got basically one look going on here”. Indeed. Take a look at Roversi’s jobs here at models.com. You’ll find his way quite static, and models has one face. Maybe different angles, but still one face. That’s the style.

personally i think that in case of Suvi, Elle is an downgrade of her career.

For those complaining about Kirsi having only one look, I believe this editorial was inspired not only by Irving Penn but also his wife Lisa Fonssagrives. Now if You look for some pictures IP has taken of LF, You’ll notice that LF has a very very limited range of facial expressions. That was the style back then and that is also the style Roversi has used in his work.

I like it, she gives elegance to shoot.
