Aside from being an excellent cover subject, Phoebe is so photogenic, she has amazing angles and a really solemn gaze.

This magazine is so consistent at dishing out wonderful covers and accompanying editorials. No exception here, yet again!

 

[GivenchyAddict]

Always perfect cover with this magazine. I need to buy it !!!

 

[Nepenthes]

Nothing short of perfection!

 

[HeatherAnne]

Wow she looks incredible. I agree with Cold she has beautiful angles to her face, and it's nice to see someone finally capture her profile instead of just straight on. Perfection.

Beautiful shot, can't wait to see the rest of the content.

Well done, T Magazine. As usual.

It's a sensation whenever she appears in a publication... can't wait to read it. And she's rocking those drop earrings again, love it!

Once again this magazine has checked all the boxes. superb cover and subject. Cannot wait to pick it up.

Great portrait and Philo is incredibly beautiful in it.

That said, the cover headline reminds me of how fashion (and those outside the industry) tend to frame female designers as "women who know what other women want" as opposed to the way they frame male designers as artists. As much as I do think Celine reflects a modern vision of the way women wish to dress, I would have to say that Philo also checks that other box. Hope that the profile also focuses on her creative prowess. I'm sure it will be a really great feature, the New York Times rarely disappoints journalistically and this is certainly an instance where the words are going to be more important than the pictures.

 

[ALAUU]

The perfect woman.

 

[Egoiste]

Phoebe should be on all fashion magazines cover! She looks so good in every photo and havent aged at all!!! Breathtaking cover !
