Hope? More like Nope.

This is abysmal. Wintour should have left over a decade ago, but her gigantic ego will not let that happen ofcourse. Another nail in the coffin of US Vogue.

The Lili Sumner cover of Vogue Italia looks like a Botticelli compared to this.

What is this hope thing on all the Vogues? Is it about Corona again?

I actually think Mon may be right and that Naomi will have more covers, similar to Jennifer Lawrence and Billie E.

Twitter is actually liking this cover. Some say that it's better than "that woman associated with Epstein"

So I'm not sure if woke Twitter will accept a Naomi cover.

I messaged the seller as to who the cover star is. Hoping for a response!

I wonder how this seller got hold of the cover when it's not even out for subscribers, let alone digital subscribers.
You have a grass on your team, Anna!

Of course it is. The birthplace of no taste.

Not sure what they're hoping for exactly, I believe it's a ''better world'' sort of thing in sync with all the current movements, especially BLM. All international editions are using hope as a theme this month, just like they did with pregnant women in January for Vogue Values.

They have 10 copies for sale, they claim. So either they stole them from the printer, they’re a retailer who received their shipment early, or they don’t actually have them yet and are just up prematurely posting the listing on eBay so they can upcharge. The estimated delivery on their listing is as late as mid-September.

The seller said on his post that this was a newsstand cover and not a subscriber's cover! Unless it has been physically released already, chances are this was leaked.

I highly doubt that it was physically released since the listing was posted around 11:30 AM in the USA. So by that time they should have released the cover officially and have gotten media coverage for it already. The fact that there's none makes this listing suspicious in the sense that it may not have been legally done.

i HOPE one day that many of the black women who are professional models get their chance to have a solo cover!! This could have been so much better...

But I am also not surprised...

In the weeks to come, editions of Vogue from all over the world will release issues that unite around a universal theme of hope. This collective project will celebrate new talent and some of the most influential names in fashion, film, music, and activism. The idea is to explore hope in all its interpretations, elevating the voices of those, above all, who are determined to create positive change.

With much of the world still in lockdown due to the COVID-19 pandemic, a sense of optimism could not be more essential. As we all seek a positive, unifying path to the future, hope is both critical value to uphold and an idea to aspire towards. Anna Wintour, U.S. artistic director of Condé Nast, editor in chief of Vogue U.S., and Condé Nast global content advisor, shared her thoughts on the theme in her September issue’s editor’s letter: “Hope may be hard to find in a moment of crisis, but it also feels more essential than ever. It’s part of our shared humanity, a source of delight and inspiration, and keeps us focused on a brighter future.”

This is just disgusting. There are lots of amazing illustrators in US and yet Anna chose this sh*t. Maybe it's time to change your glasses.
I dont think its Malia Obama. Why tf would she get a cover?

 

[crmsn]

Didn't Kendall Jenner's Vogue cover leak 4 years ago prior to the cover reveal?

I don't hate the cover. I don't like it either. I'm HOPING that they'll release
another cover with a real person on it since they'd already robbed us
with a rose cover 2 months ago.

 

[dfl-001]

I wonder if this is Kehinde Wiley? { the same artist who did Barak Obama's White House portrait}
Looks like a Brooklyn setting... larger view

^I dont think so. His art is tacky/cheap looking but at least he knows how to paint skin.

 

[gunsnroses]

Maybe it’s Aurora James? It also looks like a very familiar actress to me but I can’t think of a name

 

[crmsn]

Is that Aurora James?

[Miss Dalloway]

Oh god, please let this not be the actual cover, just awful! Funny thing i expected abad from US Vogue for Spet, and yet they still managed to make it worse!

 

[crmsn]

Or Laura Harrier?
