flare vs. fashion

it's a canadian magazine editorial-off! flare and fashion both shot the stella mccartney lemon shirt in their march issues. (my elle canada hasn't arrived for march, so... we'll see if they're in on it too.)

who did it better?

the photos aren't quite as crisp as i'd like because i haven't got my scanner set up yet. but the idea is there.
on the whole, i much prefer the flare editorial - there's a great two page shot of prada in profile that is really serene - but i'm not sure which i prefer if you just take these two pictures. hmmmm. obviously very different attacks on the garment. i like how moody-subdued the flare is. but i ALSO like how INYOURFACECOLOURFULL the fashion is. i mean. look at her eyeshadow! tricky.

but, much more importantly, i wonder if i can convince anyone that my sugarbowl is made by mccartney. yeah?
