Unfortunately, sad to see that the biggest Vogue in the world doesn't use the best names...

If there's one groundbreaking thing about VI, this is the first year that most of the cover subjects were woman of color. Only Vogue Latam and maybe British Vogue did it in recent times.

I hope VI prints Cynthia's cover. It's the only one worthy.

American Vogue did it a couple of years ago. Cardi B with her daughter, Naomi, Lizzo, Simone Biles, Ugbad, Adut, and Aurora James all had covers that year.

Yes! I remember that, but sadly was after the George Floyd assessination. It was quite forced and I see some self guilt from Anna and American Vogue (and most of media from there). She should have done it years ago. And this year was back to the usual. Edward keept the same spirit, it's more genuine from his side. And yes, I see Mr. Enninful's influence on recent VI and VP issues. I don't know if one year some edition of Vogue will put non white people on every cover for the same time period. Maybe will be nice as a gesture (and cool!), but next time should be from the heart and not after a terrible event.

You definitely have a point that it was in part a reaction to George Floyd’s death, certainly I feel the September covers in 2020 were a direct result. But Cardi B, Ugbad, Adut, and Simone’s covers were all released and/or photographed prior to that. In any event, if one takes a cynical view on American Vogue’s diversity push as merely a reaction to that, I think the same would apply to Vogue Italia and a British Vogue. They may be European editions but they are obviously catering to and influenced by what’s going on, culturally, in America.


I mean, I know Edward is often praised for his efforts to diversify, but it seems like a very narrow interpretation of diversity. Perhaps it would feel more genuine to me if there were more space given to other minorities with large presences in the UK, France, etc. There's room for improvement all around.

it's weird to me Anna never got the same treatment when since 2009 she always puts more than 2 POC on the cover of Vogue.

Maybe because Anna's cover choices over the last decade and the quality decline in American Vogue people never paid attention to diversity. Also this was the first year that Anna gave to an East Asian woman the first solo cover. @KINGofVERSAILLES is right about occidental Vogues showing most of the time black and white people, while the rest doesn't have the same exposition. Also this was the first year of American Vogue showing the LGBTQ+ on the front.

Vogue Thailand's August 2022 cover is a group photo. Layout-wise, it looks exactly like British Vogue under Edward.

I keep thinking Emma Chamberlain is going to get a big American cover, and for a while I thought it would be Vogue. I think she has a good relationship with Condé, but it could wind up being something random first, like Architectural Digest. Big social media following, internet star that’s completely accepted by the fashion community and is moving away from her YouTube origins, has years-long relationships with big advertisers like LV and Cartier, extremely successful personal brand, relatively scandal-free, and perhaps the last influencer to successfully transition to legitimate celebrity …. it just seems inevitable.

After the Fendi bag campaign, we can hope Linda back at Vogue? Edward or Anna?

Edward all the way. Anna's pamphlet and bad roster of photographers do not deserve the greatness that is Linda Evangelista's comeback. And we need more Meisel greatness now that she's working again. I'm just waiting for it.

Also expect a K-Pop boyband member on their cover soon. Probably for their September/October issue.

Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck finally got married after TWENTY years... I hope Anna does her job, but I know another Vogue has already booked a cover for her at the end of the year or the beginning of next year!
