Cover Rumor Thread #19

So is it about time to start the #VogueItaliaIsOver party or what?

 

A part of me is hoping that vogue Italia is taking forever because they are doing major rebranding of a now tainted magazine but I know it’ll just be same old Farneti pretentious content with some ambiguous message that has nothing to do with fashion

 

LOL . Does anyone know if Tatler have ever had a non-wh*te person on their cover? I can't recall one.

 

New ‘About Happiness’ issue of Vogue Italia dropping tomorrow, which will no doubt feature Binx Walton by Ethan James Green on the cover:

 

So was this the May cover that got shifted for the blank one, which may mean it will be a 'normal' issue with standard edits? Because I refuse to believe he initially planned on publishing the one with the kids drawings in May.

 

Binx + Ethan? Great combo!

 

I'm actually surprised Binx pulled it off and Ethan is a great photographer

 

Happy for Binx booking one of the big fours. Long overdue. Can't wait to see.

 

Ugh... Binx I'm annoyed to admit she grows on me a little bit more every time I see her recently. Not at all happy about that lol
However, this looks like it's going to be a pretty decent cover/story. I'm kind of looking forward to it - mostly happy about EJG getting another cover.
Must admit he looks quite spectacular himself. That pose has more sass and glam than anything Miss Binx pulled in teaser video!

 

Eww why her? She looks horrible. What is she even doing in that video?
Ethan James is hot though, wouldn't mind If he started taking nude photos of himself...

 

New UK Vogue survey about coverlines mentions actress Emma Corrin, Serena Williams, and an 'at home' feature with Isabella Rossellini.

 

How terribly unexciting.

 

I would place my bets on Serena for a cover. Possibly to plug her line. Can't recall when last I've seen her book an edit without the cover. Plus she appeared on major British glossy before, she's the face of Stuart Weitzman, and she's Meghan's friend.

 

Actually they are really goood, Pam_Boy post them on Twitter, I still don't get It this thing of volumes that magazines publish.

 

I just saw them, the group cover is amazing!

 

Not many at all! but off the top of my head: Naomi back in the 80s and again in the early 00s, Priyanka Chopra, the Duchess of Sussex, Mario Itoje with Amelia Windsor...

 

Because Tatler exists to tightly reflect (and sell to) a certain social background rather than needing to appeal to a wide audience, it’s never been “representative”. It’s like a members club in a magazine format. Circulation counts in as much as advertisers can use the magazine as a means of targeting certain sorts of high-worth people, rather than reaching tens of thousands of readers from less aspirational backgrounds.

Its circulation is just under 80,000 - compare UK Vogue at 192,242, Elle at 125,000 and Bazaar at 116,000.

Tatler also tends to swing between being fashion and celebrity-focused (like under Tina Brown) and then back to concentrating more on society, which is when the covers are an endless string of “people’s daughters”. When it’s celebrity-focused, you get more non-white faces, from Tina Turner to Talisa Soto.

 

Apart from the regular Bazaar UK item, the Newsstand website lists a "Bazaar UK Excl" item as coming soon (the on-sale date is the same as their September issue), so I guess they will either do special extra large format copies like they did some years ago, or a limited edition of some kind.
