This girl can't model anymore...

So happy to see her on the cover, she looks stunning, and this is actually "Summer Escape" issue, i forgot to add the latter in the title.

It's almost as if Porter has been reading all those lack of diversity comments on here and bam! A Joan cover.

^ I think that would be great if we contributed to it, but i am doubtful. Very Happy to see Porter embracing models for their covers, only 2 celebs featured, so far.

I love it, Joan looks amazing and finally a model of color on the cover.

Right?

Finally. Some diversity on their cover.

I love it! The white and green works perfectly. I'm definitely going to buy this one.

If someone had described the details of this cover before seeing it, I think I would have hated it, but everything here is working beautifully, the styling, backdrop, everything! Thanks for sharing Miss Dalloway!

She looks kinda of mean in the face, it´s sad coz when I read the title I was excited. Listen Joan IS one of the best best top models around, she´s a very respected fashion model, has done extensive runway work, has some killer Vogue covers, is an editorial darling and campaigns´star but I always find her cover a bit underwhelming, because she has such a great personality à la Arlenis Sosa and she has a modelesque demeanor and has great poise so you would think she would kill it on the covers like Naomi or Iman or Tyra but she needs to learn her angles still; or the photographers don´t know how to pick the photos but I doubt it especially when the editors are the ones choosing the pic in the end. Her best cover to me remains her Australian Vogue cover. I think she is a great spokesperson, has a great body for runways, is entertaining to watch and has great style, good skin, is inspiring for the industry´s best people BUT I have yet to be totally charmed by her entire top model persona for her covers. Do you know what I mean? (if I explained myself badly hehe I want to say I really love her and she is one of my favorites models since 2000 for sure)

I'm finally having a bit of Joan burnout myself.

 

[tigerrouge]

She doesn't look happy to be there.

 

[inwhiterooms]

I actually really like the idea of this cover.. but she does look bored

 

[gazebo]

I'm not sure what they were going for but she looks completely absent.

Amazing to see Joan! She looks great. Nice cover.

 

[t-rex]

She doesn't look happy to be there.

She's probably melting because of the SHEARLING COAT over the swimsuit! Hope a heavy coat isn't part of their "how to dress this summer" story!

 

[congacon]

my problem with joan is that her facial expressions are dull most of the time. the girl just doesn't get "it".

 

[WilliamsLe010919]

she looks like somebody just hit her in the head

She's on a sumer escape from modeling
