IMO fashion has just gone back to its origins where it was mostly about showcasing the rich and famous less about the clothes or models and creatives. The rich back then were famous socialites, aristocrats and the like (both good and bad reputations) todays version are nepo kids, Hollywood stars and the like and their aesthetic connects with who they are.

Annie it's the only big photographer they have now.

Isn't that a shame? I understand the reasons for omitting Weber and Testino, but all the others too?

Maya also deserved a cover. In love with the Hopper references. Glad Annie did the ed and not other. I hope to see her working with Meisel after this. With 3 issues of British Vogue left I doubt it for a cover story, but for a campaign it could be.

"People in the Sun" by Annie Leibovitz looks absolutely stunning in print. Love the Edward Hopper inspiration as he is one of my favorite artists. The editorial should have been a few pages longer. Two of the photographs appear half-page in the magazine and the editorial seems short. It's just too good for it to end quickly.

In my opinion, this is US Vogue's best issue of the year. With all the holiday ads and beautiful photography, it is a visual feast for the eyes.

I don't think it's as simple as Vouge choosing not to use the other big photographers (I mean, who else is there... other than Roversi, Meisel and Annie, who am I forgetting?). Maybe they just don't want to work within the budgetary and creative parameters Anna has set. I can't blame them for that. I always feel like people simplify the reasons for why certain models, photographers, etc. aren't used.

Unrelated, this cover stood out pretty nicely against October Vogue UK's bland Leonardo DiCaprio cover and September's Vogue France Due Lipa's cover at my local bookstore, I was pretty surprised.

Love the Maya Hawke ed, should have been the cover story!

Came across this sat on the shelves in WHSmith over the weekend and I thought the cover looked even more beautiful in person! The cover on the print copy is more elongated than what Vogue's Instagram post suggests, which I like. Got all the old-school American Vogue vibes upon seeing it, and the issue felt quite weighty as opposed to their usual wafer-thin offerings.

It just goes to show that nothing compares to seeing a magazine in print!

Absolutely. Despite the lack of fashion editorials featuring models (am I the only one that was shocked?), this looks like an old-school American Vogue.

must be sad to have such an illustrious career as norman jean roy and then end up taking pictures of nicki minaj.
