She’s such a miserable person that she ruins a cover by just being on it.

Instagram text translated in English:

Doutzen is back! More than two years ago, the Dutch top model withdrew from the fashion world. Until she suddenly reappeared on the catwalk with Chloé last season. And now she graces the cover of Vogue Netherlands for the first time.
⁠
In the song, she explains to Fiona Hering why she stepped out of the spotlight: "Everyone could express their creativity on me, photographers, stylists, make-up artists, but I was not heard. I was so done with that. As a model, I never had a voice, which is where my rebellion came from, among other things." ⁠
⁠
Vogue's Creative & Editorial Director Marie-Nanette: "When Doutzen spoke out on Instagram about social issues, public opinion changed. Doutzen turned his back on modeling. And now, all of a sudden, there's that Chloé runway show, a fashion publication in American Vogue and a return to Victoria's Secret. Doutzen is back."

This looks like a copy of something but can't put my finger on what, someone please help! feels like Vogue Italia from mid 2000s...

As a model, I never had a voice

And since when are models supposed to have a voice? That's literally her job - be a clean canvas for creatives

She got cancelled because of her anti-vax views and the fashion industry distanced itself from her as a result. Now they're trying to spin things into some sort of self-fulfillment narrative. Not here for it.

^ I kind of am if she’s reporting live from the Great Awakening. 😅

Veruschka by Rubartelli, the "Great Fur Caravan" ? A pale copy though.

Her behavior during COVID was totally bad hence her return to this magazine and not ''Vogue Italia'' or ''US Vogue'' or doing huge runway shows like she used to. I liked her before but now she's like Blake lively to me lol she's not relevant anymore and while she was away thousands of new faces popped up.

Excuse you, I know the first voice I want to hear about viral epidemiology and vaccinations IS a model with zero education. 😏

She does look stunnin gon the cover but unfortunately its difficult to enjoy her work after her anti Vax sentiments which were very far fetched.

 

[DK92]

I obviously don't agree with the nonsense that Doutzen said, but I won't be a hypocrite, especially because several models (Gisele, Shalom, Candice, Imaan, Amber, Carolyn and the list goes on) supported her, but didn't have the courage to expose themselves, in other words, they are even worse for being cowards.

Regarding the cover, which is what matters in this case, I am immensely happy to see Doutzen again and on a beautiful cover! She is a COVER GIRL and I want more Vogue covers with her.

The last time I enjoyed Doutzen was in her last Vogue Spain cover a long, long, long, long, long time ago.

Was she worse than Mona though ? I don't follow models closely, but Mona's work seems unaffected by her Covid behaviour.

Great cover, quite impactful. I love the gaze, the thing she's wearing...
The fashion industry pardoned Galliano, I am sure they can forgive Doutzen for speaking nonsense.

Well, if it means hearing less uneducated opinions... more people should be cowards. Cue the whataboutism.

Anyway, in the last two shots she oddly reminds me of Claudia... but like... an off-brand version.

In Mona's case, no one cared because she's not famous... But she acted worse!

As I said at the time, Doutzen was stupid twice, for what she think and for expressing her opinion, it would have been better to have kept quiet like the others. Whatever, water under the bridge…

I think Doutzen is much well know than Mona, like a celebrity
