giselle is ahead of linda in term of quantity but if u look at the quality factor, linda is way ahead. if u look at the big 4, linda has 57(28 italian vogue alone). giselle has a lot of vogue korea, brazil, argentina, etc.
Ya in terms of prestige of the past years and past campaigns' quality and work, Linda is the holy grail lool but Gisele is sort of the new Linda in a way when we compare her with the other tops of today since she has had impeccable runways' bookings, 1000000 covers and editorials (not just Vogue) and is today way more known than Linda for the general public.

I know right? Which is soooooo interesting and weird in a way. I mean I so agree that by now we would all think that Gisele and Kate would be considered "perfect" to cover Italian Vogue, but this is the thing, it requires a very special kind of model to do these covers, Kristen and Linda embody the Italian Vogue spirit. I just so love to see those details coz it so shows that you can be ubber cool/famous/sexy you're not considered right for some jobs ahhh lala the fashion industry is so har

gisele, may be below linda n christy but she still ahead of the other supers - cindy, naomi and claudia. And i can't do the tally for kate since nobody did the breakdown of her vogue editions.
Wowwwwwww thank you so much for this I sooooo believed Cindy had more than Naomi and I was right on a hunch héhé but I'm surprised Daria didn't have more (but now I get it since you based your stats on the 4 well known Vogue editions). In reality I dream to see a board of every Vogue and every top model and to see who's first with all the Vogue combined (supplements+beauty+multiple issues' covers+reprints+many models in one shot) since we can't just consider Linda and the big 6 + the new top models of today, there's also the big models from the 50's until the 80's and Linda's era. But thanks sooooo sooo much for everybody's work, I love this thread.
ps: so shocked of Alek Wek's Vogue covers: only two and both in groups! and I also have to agree on the number of black models on Vogue and Asian too, even in their own countries, their editors don't support them.. gosh

Gisele has always been more of an American Vogue icon than anything. Kate Vogue UK/Paris. Plus you gotta consider Gisele achieved all these covers post Supermodel era, when models weren't getting many covers any longer. and she's only 30. She has plenty of time to catch up to Linda considering she still manages at least 4 Vogue covers per year.
I really want to know Kate + Naomi but iconography won't be accurate for them because it stops at 09 and they've had plenty of covers since then...

Isn't Gisele 31? And i think kate's got her fair share of american vogue covers, that's not stopping her from killing other quality vogue covers. It's true though, Gisele's got quality, not so much quantity - I never thought of it this way! Posted via Mobile Device
