Joan Smalls

^I think the second part is what he meant lol. I too think that Joan would sell a US Vogue cover better than Karlie. However, I'd be happy with Joan and karlie cover as well. These two together would be fine, any third option would dilute the string presence of the two... :whistle:

Right about what? Being delusional, or Joan selling better than Karlie? Umm, don't answer that question. I'm just gonna choose the second option.

Totally the second option! haha Joan would get a lot more press than Karlie ever would.

Oh OK. I totally thought you were gonna tear me to shreds for that previous comment!! I don't think it will be an OG model cover, though. I'm pretty sure that Joan, Karlie & Arizona will be on the cover together dubbed as "the new American trio" or something like that. Don't you think? I mean technically they are all American citizens. I think it will be great, as long as Joan is in the middle.

Global Beauty
Posted by Janelle

Let’s face it, models of color on magazine covers is not something that we see enough of. In spite of the diversity that exists all around us, fashion still has a very homogenous physical ideal. The lack of African-American, Latino, Asian faces on covers and in campaigns is disconcerting to say the least, but every so often a major magazine turns the focus towards an ideal that is more inclusive. The latest issue of Vogue Australia looks to the new faces of global beauty, with the unstoppable Joan Smalls on the cover and rising star Shanina Shaik in the editorial pages.
With her Estee Lauder contract and continued editorial domination, Joan is the perfect representative for fashion’s push towards diversity. Her stellar cover shot by Kai Z Feng is a testament to her posing prowess and she’s also conscious of her role as the leader of a new group of multi-ethnic models who are rising to the top of the heap. Smalls told WWD back in Feb, “It’s nice to show the world that we don’t only have to be one thing or categorized in one box. It’s important to show the world—and fashion—that diversity is beautiful.”
While certain male model boyfriends might be claiming credit for Shanina’s rise to the top, her elegant Vogue shoot by Nicole Bentley shows she doesn’t need any help, she’s a natural in front of the camera. The South Asian beauty hails from Melbourne, but is a mix of Lithuanian, Pakistani and Saudi heritage. Considering that it is even rarer to see South Asian faces in major magazines, Shaik’s success is landmark. When asked by Aussie journalists how she felt about the lack of representation on the runways Shaik had this to say. “It does actually bother me quite a bit. I think there’s so many beautiful mixed and South East Asian girls and sometimes i don’t think we really get the chance to show our potential. People will cast for one certain look. Hopefully that changes.”

Givenchy & JPG are my best guesses. I would also love to see a MaxMara campaign from her.

 

[Nepenthes]

^I would love to see her in Givenchy, Chanel, Gucci and Louis Vuitton.

For some reason I think she could get Prada. I mean its obvious that she has Meisels support so its only a matter of time before he gives her a campaign...

 

[valliaddict]

Joan getting Prada would be the shocker of the century, but then again, the Chanel campaign was a huge surprise, too. With Joan, anything can happen, but if Meisel is gonna shoot her for a campaign, I think it would be LV or Cavalli, not Prada. I would love to be proven wrong, though. I think her key to longevity might be replacing MCB as the main face of Givenchy. That on top of EL would seal her status as a supermodel. Oh, and an OG Gucci campaign wouldn't hurt.

 

[valliaddict]

You guys, apparently Joan scored the Givenchy campaign!!! She also rumored to have a huge cover coming up in the next few months!!!
