Cover Rumor Thread

The summer issue of Harper's Bazaar is super late, the theme is Hope.

Hope they find a new EIC.

Hope they find a new EIC.

They haven't hired anyone yet. Looks like they'll be starting 2021 with a new EIC

I wonder who British Harper’s Bazaar photographed remotely for their upcoming July issue? It will be thirteen months since our last Rosie Huntington-Whitley cover. Rosie has a gorgeous home which would make the perfect backdrop and she takes some real good photos for Instagram!

@vogue28 i thought maybe it could be Christy Turlington by Pamela Hanson?

I love how you say it will be 13 months since her last cover. See what Justine did? She made it the norm for Rosie to have her cover at least once a year now it seems odd when she doesn't.

Red Uk - Holly Willougby Press shot from Marks & Spencers.

Red Uk - Holly Willougby Press shot from Marks & Spencers.

Went 'oh, nice!' reading this until I got to 'press shot' bit. What a shame! I'm mad about Holly, she's got such a nice personality and deserves better than this. I mean, she's got the deal with Garnier. Her face is literally on their boxes. You'd think that would've guaranteed a place on Glamour or Marie Claire who used to love advertiser dollars.

Does it mean we have to wait until mid-July for the August issue of American Vogue? Wonder who will be on British Vogue? Maybe a Zoom/Facetime shoot when we're already fed up with it!

Im guessing its a press shot as they couldn't shoot.
Glamour and Marie Claire dont exist in the UK

Don’t count on it. I think her next film is a silly rom-com with Owen Wilson.

I know, but this project is from Universal... I was referring to her next project as an executive producer, it's a film about Griselda, the screenwriter William Monahan (The Departed) is and the director Reed Morano (The Handmaid's Tale).

Glad to hear she’s working on something interesting. Though my admiration for Reed Morano has taken a nose-dive after the racist, absolute flop of a movie she just made with Blake Lively.

Also worth noting, Lopez is a producer of “Marry Me”, the Owen Wilson rom-com I mentioned.

GQ UK is Billie Eillish. Its a double issue - July/August.
Interesting cover choice I think. How many GQ men care about Billie Eillish for two months?

They don't care about their readers. It's a ploy to court Billie's fans. Get them to share the cover as much as possible.

It will be interesting to see whether readers of GQ are expected to care about Covid in the same front page way that women reading Vogue are supposed to, or whether its profound effects on society will be relegated to the features section amid the aftershave reviews, because it's not men's job to care.

LOL, there is that disconnect. From what I've seen so far a lot of men's magazines are going through the motions with Covid content, publishing articles purely because they have to. These types of articles are normally followed by their usual bread and butter content of style, grooming, celebrities. It's not nearly as thematic or in-depth as any of the women's magazines we've seen so far where they've most of the time overhauled the entire issue to fall in line with the mood right now. Even American GQ who try so hard to be 'in with the kidz' didn't do a cohesive Covid issue.

The risk of going really hard at these Covid-themed issues is the aftermath. Like Farneti's 'no photoshoot' issue, how do you bounce back? You can't say 'this is the new normal' and only push artwork and Zoom shoots one month and run your next issue filled with the usual fashion edits in the traditional sense as if nothing happened. That won't wash for the men's market, at least.

Elle Uk have Margarita Gambles? on the cover. By Victor Demarchelier.

I am 99.9% certain that cover used one of these shots (maybe the one with the headscarf?), which is part of Elle's global editorial effort they've started doing earlier this year.
UK Elle is really on its last legs.
