God, this magazine is such a joke! They were somewhat irrelevant until that infamous Kim K cover, and, despite the press and support they got from it, never quite managed to live up to the newfound hype. To go with the lesser of the Insta influencers shot by an equally lesser male model?
The cover had potential, I think. It looks like it was supposed to be a subversive nod to Jackie O (because the only icons to be celebrated in fashion are Jackie, Marilyn and Bardot!) But somehow the CD mucked it all up with a budget hairstylist, a model playing at being a photographer, and the perpetually open-mouthed Emily. Pass!
