Cover Rumor Thread

[Srdjan]

Bruce Springsteen is on the US cover. Plus the daughter.

You could joke about it, but the joke is probably the cover itself.

"...in her role as @voguemagazine editor-in-chief and artistic director of Condé Nast." 2/2

Bruce Springsteen is on the US cover. Plus the daughter.

Seriously? The shot I’ve seen of them together inside the British edition is far from cover-worthy. A new low for American Harper’s Bszaar. Yikes!

UK Bazaar September is Xtina.

The hoopla over the photographer being black seems pretty racist to me. An experience photographer who can shoot effectively is good enough for me.

Are you serious?

 

[Benn98]

Bruce Springsteen is on the US cover. Plus the daughter.

Maybe it will be multi covers again. Anyway, what's with this new idea of putting men, and the least attractive ones, on their September covers?

 

[MaisonOfVanity]

So I wonder who shot Nicki Minaj Cover?

 

[Lola701]

This first black photographer shooting the Cover is a great thing and kudos to Beyoncé for deciding it and for Anna to approve it but this got me, one more time, questioning ALT...
He was the creative director of American Vogue for years. He was one of those who had the influence to choose emerging talents to show to Anna...
Nothing! His contribution to the magazine and the industry seems more and more superficial when you have this kind of news..

And this is not even a Vogue thing. This is an industry thing. Because there are some POC who are influential in the industry and who could have been advocate for this.

We are going to the right direction at least and I can only applaud this.

Did any of you see the Porter cover with Lupita? When i went to screengrab it was gone

 

[Scotty]

So.. where's the Xtina cover?

 

[Benn98]

So.. where's the Xtina cover?

In the current UK Harper's Bazaar thread. I'm very much confident Christina will also get a cover. Would be foolish to run only the Springsteen one!

 

[crmsn]

ELLE US's September 2018 cover girl is an actress.

It's Emma Stone.

 

[Benn98]

Still no sight of the covers, I'm afraid. It will probably surface sometime today. And Khyrk, bad news for you, Christina doesn't have a cover! Springsteen for newsstand, and Kanye for subscribers. Don't ask me what the idiotic reasoning behind this is.

Kanye West, Bruce Springsteen Front Bazaar’s September ‘Icons’ Issue

Carine Roitfeld lured some major musical names, plus children, for her annual spread. Her popular fashion week party has a big headliner, too.
By Kali Hays on August 2, 2018

Carine Roitfeld’s ability to draw major names for the September issue of Harper’s Bazaar, along with a related party, is still going strong.

The French editor, who serves as global fashion director for Bazaar while also running her own CR Fashion Book, managed to pull in Bruce Springsteen, Kanye West, Christina Aguilera, Lionel Richie, Mariah Carey, Billy Idol, Steven Tyler and Erykah Badu, all with their children (some, like Liv Tyler and Nicole Richie, celebrities in their own right), for her fifth annual Icons portfolio in the magazine. Paris Jackson and Theodora and Alexandra Richards are also part of the portfolio, sans parents, rounding out the familial theme of the issue. All were photographed by Mario Sorrenti.

Roitfeld noted her excitement at seeing and photographing such high-profile musicians, adding, “I’m a very family-oriented person, so I wanted to meet the families of some of my biggest music idols.”

“It was amazing to see that some of the industry’s most groundbreaking rock stars have a sense of tenderness with their loved ones — even if they are adults,” Roitfeld said.

Bazaar publisher Carol Smith noted that the portfolio is something readers and advertisers have come to “look forward to” and said it “helps build buzz and excitement in the marketplace as we head into planning our big fashion issue.”

“It not only drives ad pages into the issue, but also attracts incremental digital and social ad dollars,” Smith added.

As for the party, it’s a heavily sponsored event, including the likes of Estée Lauder, Saks Fifth Avenue and car company Genesis, scheduled for the second night of New York Fashion Week at the Plaza Hotel. But Aguilera is set to perform, marking one of her few performances so far in support of her new album.

The Bazaar portfolio shows the singer draped by her two young children, and quotes her as saying motherhood is “the most important job I have.” But Aguilera is not on the cover.

That place, for the newsstand at least, goes to Springsteen and his daughter Jessica, an equestrian, who says she’s “still traumatized” by the time her father, years ago, pulled her out from the side of a concert stage to dance with him during a performance of “Dancing in the Dark.”

Subscribers will get a cover featuring Kanye West, looking every part the Art Dad, with the elder two of his three children, North and Saint. Roitfeld and West have been friendly for years, with the latter often citing her as an influence on his own fashion efforts and having appeared on the 2016 Icons cover about to kiss his wife Kim Kardashian.

West has had a year of controversy that stemmed from statements the artist made (right around the time a new, very short, album was released) praising President Trump and attempting to explain slavery in existential terms as being “a choice.” This statement came during an impromptu tirade at TMZ’s Los Angeles headquarters, no less, and backlash to it and his “love” for Trump sparked wide disagreement and even the rerecording of some songs on his album.

Such a drama- and publicity-fueled summer, not to mention career, seems to have inspired West’s answer to Bazaar’s question of what he wants for his children’s future.

“I hope my children never lose their confidence to society,” West said. Let us hope he’s not conflating confidence with ego.

TOGETHER with the List of celebrities who she apparently got MADE ME LAUGH.

Miss thing, some of those celebs are barely relevant, some seek attention more than they seek air.

Kanye? Their poor subscribers lol.

LOL. True! Last I read Kanye was furious because Carine and Gan didn't prepare themselves for his Bazaar shoot. Guess he needed the PR this time around.
I will say that in Carine's defense, her side gigs are what gives her most of the clout. Cut those off and she's left with Bazaar and CR FB which, lol, well it's simply not enough of a draw.

 

[Lola701]

That list is so underwhelming and almost funny that it's hard to say that it is Star Power really. Having Rihanna or Beyonce on the cover of CRFB is a powermove but Carey, Aguilera, Tyler, Springsteen and West? In 2018? I love Mariah and all but i don't think people cares at this point...
It will be good for Mariah but i don't know how this would help the rest to be honest.

Can they give her the EIC position already at Bazaar? Apart from MaxMara, she is hardly consistent in her side gigs...

 

[tigerrouge]

Carine's work for Bazaar is absolute dross, and typically ends up being the worst content in every worldwide edition it appears in.
