McDean was reported as the photographer on The Mirror's website early this morning, but Vogue's site now states Mert Alas and Marcus Piggott are the photographers who shot Kate..
Anyway, regardless of who shot this cover, it's a total disappointment. As much as I'm a fan of Kate's, this Vogue cover isn't exactly her most finest and is very generic, mundane and tiresome. Kate's cover for the Olympics was so much more dynamic, Vogue-worthy and stimulating.
Guess this rules out Kate as the cover star for British Vogue's momentous June 2016 edition, celebrating their 100th anniversary!
