Cover Rumor Thread

Inez & Vinoodh did a shoot with Imaan in Mexico. It better be for that long awaited Vogue Paris cover of hers! Probably a beach shoot so for an upcoming summer issue.

OMG!!! Hope it’s for a cover too!

That would be absolutely amazing! Finger's crossed, I would love to see her on VP.

Looks more like a trailer for the next burning man festival than a ground breaking creativity issue. I don't feel it...

All 27 Vogues From Around The World Unite For ‘The Creativity Issue’

There’s no denying that 2020 was one of the most challenging years in living memory, but it was also a period of burgeoning creativity. In the fashion industry alone, designers rallied together to create masks and PPE for doctors and nurses; they innovated alternative ways of producing and presenting their collections, reimagining the traditional fashion show format — largely unchanged for more than a century — through digital, AR, film and Zoom. In the midst of the crisis came a swell of togetherness alongside the willingness to disrupt and question the way things have always been, with a sense of awakening spreading far beyond fashion to include politics, science, pop culture — everything.

Historically speaking, times of hardship often give way to a renaissance of sorts as people seek out new solutions to both the new and pre-existing challenges we face. For the March 2021 issues of Vogue, the decision was made to unite and explore this notion, using our global platforms to celebrate the courageous artisans, innovators, and big thinkers who believe in a brighter, fairer future for all.

“This year, all 27 global editions of Vogue are proud to dedicate our March issues to creativity,” says Anna Wintour, editor-in-chief and global editorial director, Vogue and global chief content officer, Condé Nast. “With so many reasons to be optimistic about a brighter future, Vogue thought what better way to celebrate than to focus on creatives all across the globe — whose glorious and gorgeous, inclusive and joyful images offer an inspiring look at the world of fashion today.”

Published in 21 languages and available throughout February and March, Vogue’s 27 global Creativity Issues shine a spotlight on the most exciting creative talent working today, bringing together some of the fashion industry’s biggest names. Featuring country-specific portfolios of the brightest young stars in fashion, music, art, and film, alongside inspiring editorials and extraordinary fashion, each issue is a celebration of those who encourage us to look at life in a new way.

“Fashion, more than ever, remains one of the most beautiful territories for creative expression,” says Emmanuelle Alt at Vogue Paris, whose issue celebrates creativity through the decades, from Pierre Cardin to Christopher John Rogers. At Vogue Italia, Emanuele Farneti and team want to “remind everyone that ideas, and beauty, truly can move mountains.” “For Vogue Taiwan, creativity is the drive to always walk a step ahead and imagine what others have not yet imagined,” says Leslie Sun.

From models photographed by 3D scanning cameras to artist-designed covers, visionary photography, and thought-provoking essays, each issue is a unique collectible with the theme further explored across digital and social.

As British Vogue editor-in-chief and European editorial director, Edward Enninful concludes: “From the designer finding new, collaborative ways of working, to the gifted photographer with the extraordinary backstory and curator making waves, to the next big things in art, music, cinema, tech, and beauty, it is a promising roll call.”

I fear a mess incoming.

The landscape looks beautiful, but reading the bolded part in MDNA's post already tells me it we're in for another dose of last summer's awful covers.

Creativity: 3 people in rags, dancing in the desert...

I would like to remind Condé Nast that Vogue is a Fashion magazine.

 

[aracic]

There's absolutely nothing creative about that dreadful teaser. What on earth are they wearing? It's so ugly and uninspired already, and the month hasn't even started.

The other day I thought it was perfect timing for Christiane Arp to leave German Vogue just in time before the Creativity Issue (maybe the reason why she left, because she felt too alien from the concept of creativity) and almost got excited for the March issues. Seeing this teaser, the movements and music choice all seem very dated and not Vogue worthy. Sorry to say, but I think I have seen chewing gum commercials circa 2006 with similar concepts.

The March cover star of Vogue China is He Cong.

 

[arabchic]

Vogue should already be creative by presenting fashion in a unique perspective that makes the reader fantasize; this whole creative issue thing is a hype for something mediocre to get some bucks.
If they were doing their job they wouldn’t need to unite on this « creative » subject.

Harpers UK - Carey Mulligan by Quentin Jones.

Carolyn Murphy shared a story on her Instagram and she’s on set with Karen Elson. there are more models on set (it looks like it at least) so I wonder what could that be...

 

[mikel]

Nowadays when top models are shot together it most likely is a Luigi & Iango shoot.

Jimmy Paul has done the hair on the shoot, Karen Elson credits him on her insta stories.

Ah so that rules them out I guess. Thanks for the info!

 

[aracic]

Karen looks magnificent... can't wait to see what they're shooting for! Just imagine Meisel reuniting his old favorites... ahh, hope is a dangerous thing for a woman like me to have, but I have it lol

GQ UK- March 2021 - Joe Biden

An okay cover with blue and red cover layout. He was smiling on the first cover. The second one involves an airplane.

 

[KoV]

So strange to me how often UK (and others) magazines focus on American politics. Then again, American magazines certainly feature their fair share of British royals, so I guess it’s even.


Edit: just looked at the covers. The photo they used for the airplane cover is 9 years old and has already been widely seen numerous times over the years. Sad.
