Cover Rumor Thread

[Srdjan]

Bazaar Germany February is Magali Delion, and Elle Germany is Anna Mila Guyenz (reprint from Vogue Mexico February 2019).

^^ They had Anna Mila in Elle Croatia last month and they prefer to use an image from their competition? Choices

That is very well deserved and very fitting. Pat McGrath, Zendaya, Regina King and Kamala Harris on the February covers of US magazines is delightful even if the results are so so.

A couple of weeks ago I created a thread for the February cover of Vogue España featuring Hilaria Baldwin, but the mods deleted it for some odd reason.

Haahahahaha! Mostly laughing because I read this in all seriousness.
I wonder if she'll still continue with her flashmob yoga poses after that scandal.

Elle US February is also.. Maluma.

I saw a Conde Nast UK site which listed these as the on-sale dates for the year ahead:

March Issue - 29 Jan 2021
Hollywood Issue - 26 Feb 2021
April Issue - 26 Mar 2021
May Issue - 23 Apr 2021
June Issue - 21 May 2021
July/August Issue - 2 Jul 2021
September Issue - 6 Aug 2021
October Issue - 10 Sep 2021
November Issue - 15 Oct 2021
December/Holiday Issue - 26 Nov 2021

So the magazine will continue to be a ten-issue affair in 2021? Really? I can understand Covid interfering with certain types of journalism, but that doesn't mean writing in general is affected. If the ability to report is limited, and they wanted to fill the magazine with a greater amount of essays, first-person reminiscence and book excerpts and all that sort of thing, I'd understand, and probably enjoy it. But the idea that Vanity Fair has permanently gone down to ten issues, when magazines with similar content continue to publish on a weekly basis...

The 10 issues had something to do with the advertisining and readership numbers that declining due to the pandemics. Thats why they had to cut down the issues to 10 in a year

A decline in advertising revenue/readership - these are the adverse conditions under which every magazine has been operating, but on the UK newsstand, given that other titles seem committed to producing twelve issues a year, it makes Vanity Fair seem like it's evaporating away, like a sad, displaced ghost, especially when you compare it to the relative heft of a print issue of Edward's Vogue.

Because it's not tailored to us when it should be. Sorry, that's just the sad truth. Last year they ran a lot of covers which simply would not appeal to a UK audience. Stephen Colbert and AOC? Even the content doesn't reflect the UK anymore. They've started to write everything in American English since Radhika came on board and she makes zero references to the UK in her editor's letter. Only when it's about a celebrity or Meghan and Harry.
I find this so baffling because they get the chunk of their advertising via the UK. A blue-chip brand would book 2 pages in the US edition, but 4/6 in the UK one. That's not to mention the supplements you can only find in the UK edition.

 

[tigerrouge]

You wonder when - and by whom - the decision was made to jettison any efforts to tailor the UK edition to its marketplace.

I see we also get it with its spelling mistakes left intact (I spotted 'sraight' the other day in a story) so the days when Conde Nast cared about that must be long gone as well.
