Cover Rumor Thread

They won't give HC a cover.. not after losing.

While we're talking about Melania I have to add this, because I know TFS users will just love this - but in the past year or two Donald several times has said Melania was "one of the most successful models ever" and a "top model"

Just heard some rumors that US Vogue December issue was Hillary Clinton and January 2017 was going to be Michelle Obama, but for some apparent reasons Hillary was replaced, so I'm wondering could Hillary still get a cover or just a editoral?

I mean, I know everyone was expecting Hillary to win, but I doubt that she and Anna would be so presumptuous to already shoot a "victory" cover story for December, it wouldn't look good. If she had won, it would be for next year with pictures in the White House etc.

But I will say this, I could totally see them giving her a cover in the future. Now more than ever she's a massive icon for women, it depends of how low profile her life will be for now on. I for one hope it's higher on the list than Melania or Ivanka.

[QUOTE='[Piece Of Me]I also doubt any big name designers would like to dress those two ladies who back a man who is so anti everyone who is not a white, straight male.[/QUOTE]

Very Ironic considering the fashion world's huuugeee diversity problem I can totally see Anna being extremely sanctimonious about having no trumps on the cover. I don't care ether way, but the fashion world's rage about Donald Trump is so eye roll worthy to me. This is after all the industry that decided numerous and substantial sexual assault claims against Terry Richardson were not enough to stop hiring him and who gives poc models major covers and editorials maybe 2 times a year. Not to mention the subject we can't talk about...so yeah in short not giving any of the Trump women a cover would be very hypocritical and silly imo. On more topic for this thread I'm expecting a deluge of Emma Stone/ Natalie Portman covers in the next few months. Both of them want that best actress statue HARD

^ You call it "silly" and "hypocritical" and I would call it a step in the right direction.

I mean don't get me wrong I think Donald and the rest of the Trumps are very bad people. But the fashion industry(and most of hollywood) props up and glorifies very bad people all of the time. It seems the "line too far" is identifying as Republican. Perhaps if Donald were good at taking photos with a glaring white background Anna and the rest of the fashion world would be a bit more forgiving

True, size, race and age diversity is a massive problem in the fashion industry at large. Don't expect it to shift at large anytime soon, they've glorified one type for far too long. But one must give credit where it's due. This year Vogue had Adele and Amy, Michelle (age), and Lupita. InStyle just had a banner year with 7 out of their 12 cover subjects being poc (this never happened before in the magazine's 22year history), and Elle consistently supass their own diversity records. So for every Emmanuelle Alt for who the empowerment of women doesn't seem to be a priority, who insist on ignoring any form of diversity, and who blatantly continues to book Terry Richardson, there's an Anna Wintour or Robbie Myers, aiming for just about the opposite.

It's actually the opposite for me. I see Anna giving HRC a cover in a year or two. I feel that HRC will release a book and a Vogue cover is up there to promote the same. It's gonna be an interesting read on how she's been and what has life been after the campaign. It's obviously a better read than *I don't wanna mention since we're not allowed to discuss politics*

And let's be honest, Anna didn't just support Hillary because she's running for Pres. If I remember correctly, aren't they friends friends?

Inez & Vinoodh posted some pics and a video for Vogue Arabia launch issue with Yasmin Wijnaldum and Taylor Hill on their instagram, so I'm wondering it will be a cover?

Tyson Beckford and Gucci Mane was photographed by Terry Richardson and styled by Carine Roitfeld for an upcoming CR Fashion Book editorial.

The video is for the website I think, Vogue Arabia has already done a couple of similar films with Elie Saab, Elisa Sednaoui... I think the 1st print issue is supposed to come out in March?

 

[harricks]

Isn't this month VP unusually late? I believe it's the issue shoot by Karl right? Can't wait to see it.

Re - covers for Melania

Why Fashion Will Learn to Love Melania Trump

By Chantal Fernandez for Business of Fashion
Nov. 17, 2016

Despite the fashion community's near-unanimous support of Hillary Clinton, it will not be able to ignore that America's future First Lady's style now has a global platform.

After multiple magazine covers and overseas visits, countless state dinners and late-night talk show appearances, there is no question that Michelle Obama has had an unusually fruitful relationship with fashion during her time as First Lady of the United States.

But in the wake of Donald Trump's victory in a highly divisive presidential election, during which most of the fashion community was vocal in its support for Hillary Clinton, Melania Trump’s future relationship with fashion — and fashion magazines — remains uncertain.

Vogue editor-in-chief Anna Wintour was a dedicated fundraiser for Clinton, as she had been for President Obama, and Vogue backed the Democratic candidate in the magazine’s first-ever political endorsement. Glamour editor-in-chief Cindi Leive, Elle editor-in-chief Robbie Myers, CFDA chairperson Diane von Furstenberg and Hearst’s Joanna Coles are just a few of the industry leaders who also supported Clinton.

So how will this anti-Trump community interact with America's new First Lady? Will her style be dissected and copied and lauded with the same fervour as Mrs. Obama’s? As with anything Trump-related, prognostication is a challenge.

“While we never comment on future editorial, Vogue has a long, rich history, dating back to Mrs. Helen Taft, of covering America’s First Ladies, regardless of party affiliation,” said a representative for the title. In addition to Mrs. Taft, Vogue has photographed every First Lady since Lou Hoover, with the exception of Bess Truman. Hillary Clinton made history when she became the first First Lady to appear on the cover of the magazine in December 1998. Michelle Obama has since appeared on the cover three times since 2009, most recently on the December 2016 cover.

And, as Vogue wrote in its endorsement, it has “also featured Donald Trump [and] his family members Ivana, Marla, Melania and Ivanka — multiple times in our pages.” The magazine featured Mrs. Trump on its cover in February 2005, for which editors André Leon Talley and Sally Singer travelled to the Paris Couture shows with her to shop for her wedding dress.

“[Fashion magazines] have a wide variety of readers, so it wouldn't necessarily make sense for them to pick and choose what First Lady they were going to photograph based solely on politics, necessarily,” says Robin Givhan, The Washington Post’s fashion critic and author of “Michelle: Her First Year As First Lady.”

In Vogue’s case, Givhan sees the magazine’s approach as one of chronicling the new and varied occupants of the West Wing. “Is it a question of: are magazines going to photograph her for stories? I would think probably yes, because that’s part of the tradition. But what they might do above and beyond that, I just don’t think that we know.”

Indeed, it seems there is a limit. “We currently have no plans to cover Melania Trump in InStyle,” said Laura Brown, editor-in-chief of InStyle. Mrs. Obama appeared on the cover of its October 2016 issue. Glamour’s Leive, who has also featured Mrs. Obama on the magazine's cover twice, declined to comment, as did Elle’s Robbie Myers.

StyleWatch, InStyle’s sister publication, will cover Mrs. Trump from a style point of view. “If her fashion choices are inspirational, interesting, well-priced, introduce new designers or are in any way newsy, we will share with our audience,” said editor-in-chief Lisa Arbetter.

Glenda Bailey, editor-in-chief of Harper’s Bazaar, also declined to comment but the magazine did publish an interview and photo shoot featuring Mrs. Trump in its February 2016 issue. "Fashion is a tough business," the former model, 46, says of pausing her skincare line and QVC jewellery collections when the campaign began. (In the same interview, designer Rachel Roy is quoted as a friend.) The magazine likened her to Nancy Reagan and Carla Bruni-Sarkozy, though Mrs. Trump declined to name any First Lady she herself admired.

I posted the full article in Melania Trump's thread if some of you are interested.

There is no doubt as to Melania's style. Absolutely. The clothes she wear fit her perfectly. And hands down, a very gorgeous woman.

But the thing is, after this divisive election, how would Vogue, Bazaar, Elle ++ readers react to having her on the cover? It's definitely a risky move taking into consideration the demographic of these magazines... especially Vogue.

 

[happycanadian]

At the end of the day, regardless of anything to do with HER personally, Melania is the wife of Donald Trump - a man I find so utterly repugnant and dangerous that I just couldn't support or endorse him in any capacity whatsoever. This would include featuring his wife in my magazine or ad campaign, etc.

If I were a designer, despite the obvious benefit of having a First Lady wear my designs, I would hope I'd have the strength of character to maintain my integrity and refuse to dress her. If she wanted to buy something off the rack, well I couldn't stop that, obviously. But, I wouldn't be making any custom orders.

 

[harricks]

I don't think she's getting a cover anytime soon. Probably an editorial but even with that, I have my doubts. I do think Melania will probably land Vanity Fair or something like that

No, that definitely will NOT happen. Graydon and Trump are bitter enemies.
