Such a striking photograph, gorgeous cover. A lot of the big Vogues could learn a thing or two from this.

Didn’t realize that was a skin condition...looks like a makeup tutorial. It’s not an incredible cover, but also not bad. She’s just not that dynamic of a model. Just another sob/empowerment story gimmick, I guess.
I’m getting kind of tired of this routine of everyone pretending like having a skin condition like this (or whatever trait it is you can stake your prized victimhood in (weight, race, disability, etc)) and not previously getting a Vogue cover until now means that before this, “society” wanted you dead.
No. I think it’s just a that some of us like having standards and like having creative industries and practices push aspirational and exceptional beauty and talent. Which is not to say that imperfections were ever out of the question, I just am saying it’s getting a bit old this culture of reveling in our defects. When everything is “relatable,” nothing is special...or powerful, for that matter.

Maybe it's because they're not native English speakers, but the copy on this cover is really below mediocre. Everything sounds like an afterthought. 'Love your heritage'.....oh yes, and 'your planet, and yourself'. Then there's the 'Vogue Values' heading which may have been left out altogether.
It's a shame this concept and styling were wasted on the model because with someone with a more commanding presence I'm sure it would be striking. Makes me want to give Winnie Harlow a medal because she's learned early in her career not to rely on her skin condition and command the lens with stunning poses and close-up intensity.

Stunning! Am glad that her expression is reserved to counter the styling and textures on the cover.
