Oh I remember this cover.. never a fan of Meisel but this was hipnotising for me to some degree in that time, perhaps because I wasn't remotely demanding of publications and had zero access to anything that wasn't US Vogue as I do now, so seeing this was rather intriguing in my eyes. I remember this didn't mean all that much for Raquel's career as she went slightly off the radar shortly after this, I thought it was over for her.. opening Prada in 2004 really took things to a whole new level, it finally established her as a serious and permanently in-demand model, I don't think many people remember that.. they think covers like this have been a constant in her career and despite not being a huge fan, I look at this and it reminds me that the road has been long for her to achieve the status she's enjoying now.. she was hardly instant success despite landing amazing gigs like this one, I pretty much placed her next to Tetyana.. the kind of girl you see in every show and every magazine but when she goes away, you don't really notice.. I'm glad Raquel has gone beyond that and proved the opposite in the last few years.
