Cover Rumor Thread

[Benn98]

A belly cover and a baby reveal cover? Overmuch. Should be cause for sacking if we see Rihanna on US Vogue this year. Personally I'm sick to death of the fact that some continue to get booked despite flop albums and flop fashion brands.

So I take it the budget for Meisel ran out last year? Pitiful year for British Vogue so far. As for Rihanna... meh.

Here's a tiny piece of information
about Vogue USA's March cover and issue:
From an iconic cover star who embodies individualism
to the Korean capital of Seoul—an epicenter of
innovation—Vogue celebrates the nexus of new in how
the world of fashion is once again changing in our
tentpole March issue.

Themes:
March 2023 - Fashion's Future: Imperfect, Individual, and Independent.
April 2023 - Exploration; Voices of Generation
May 2023 - Met Gala: Karl/ Vogue on Wheels

And you just know it's all gonna suck so much lmao

I wonder how many 'individual' pages this March issue is going to have.

Here's Vogue Australia's February 2023 cover (LQ). Out soon.

I wonder how many 'individual' pages this March issue is going to have.

At this point most American monthly (or nearly monthly) magazines seem unable to produce even 100 page issues anymore (Architectural Digest was 90-something and GQ was only 88 pages for February!) so anything north of 150 pages feels like a miracle to me.

From an iconic cover star who embodies individualism

I guess which pop diva will be

 

[KoV]

Sadly nowadays when everything and everyone is deemed instantly iconic, it's easy to imagine someone mislabeling anyone as iconic and embodying individualism. Could be Miley?

I read Korean, so I thought about Lisa from Black Pink.

A magazine with less than 120/100 pages per month it doesn't make sense to exist. Really.

At this point I think it's mostly about the print edition giving a sense of legitimacy to the online content. There is enduring cultural cachet around scoring a (print) cover of American Vogue or appearing within its pages. Somewhat ironically, that helps attract celebrities and such to the brand even when it's just to create online content.

Or perhaps Lizzo?

Individualism? Maybe Sam Smith?

 

[Benn98]

It will be someone with a lot of social media pull, I'm sure. They need that for a March issue.

Maybe a GQ cover

It would be nice to see Gisele back on the cover of GQ. I miss those times where they put models for their summer issues, they gave us Karolina, Miranda, EmRata etc.

 

[Benn98]

You used 'models' and 'EmRata' in the same sentence....

 

[tigerrouge]

As much as I would turn the page on any fashion campaign, she's an old-style GQ girl par excellence, and probably just missed the end of the golden years of those magazines, when a certain type of model could reign supreme in their own corner of the modelling universe (and everyone was appalled when they appeared in Vogue).

She belongs to People magazine, but also GQ US became more boring than the Jim Nelson days. Their sport issue for February doesn't appeal to fashion at all. Really ugly. And forget to see sexy girls in bikini now.

Individualism? Maybe Sam Smith?

I'd eat my shoe if Anna gave Sam a solo cover.


I think it's got to be a pop star. Miley, Lizzo, Beyonce, or Harry Styles would be my guesses as people that Vogue might proclaim as an icon of individuality.
