The month of September has belonged to supermodels. Period. First came the covers of American and British Vogue (with Linda, Christy, Cindy and Naomi) to coincide with the release of the highly-anticipated AppleTV+ documentary. Naomi Campbell has since unveiled a clothing collection with PrettyLittleThing, a widely-celebrated Linda Evangelista and Steven Meisel retrospective has been published (as well as Linda covering WSJ. Magazine) and the industry icons made a megawatt appearance at Vogue World: London.
Vanity Fair Italia jumps on the supermodel bandwagon and bestows upon us a whopping 21 of modeling’s finest. Via the lens of photographic duo Luigi & Iango, the impressive lineup of beauties includes Kristen McMenamy, Christy Turlington, Naomi Campbell, Claudia Schiffer, Shalom Harlow, Iman, Eva Herzigova, Milla Jovovich, Pat Cleveland, Elisabetta Dessy, Paulina Porizkova, Cindy Crawford, Carla Bruni, Stephanie Seymour, Helena Christensen, Kirsten Owen, Carolyn Murphy, Amber Valletta, Lauren Hutton, Twiggy and Penelope Tree. The ladies pose across a spectacular group-shot cover (below), and are each celebrated individually on a series of fierce and fabulous solo covers (after the jump).
Yet in the eyes of our forum members, something appeared off – way off. “What on EARTH is with the post-production on that group-shot cover? I am sat here 100% convinced those heads are from previous shoots with those ladies, and not current. I am… dumbfounded at how horrific that cover is, in all honesty,” complained vogue28.
“I really wish I could love this. I know Luigi & Iango are Photoshop kings but they’re taking the cake with this one,” agreed forum member WAVES.
“Photoshop Horror Picture Show. How can anybody take this seriously?” asked FiLeReD.
OllieJE laughed: “Supermodels zoom meeting!”
“Criticism aside, this has the glamour that Vogue is sorely lacking. The individual covers are glorious and I love the cast,” reasoned marsnoop2.
“The solo covers are gorgeous! Wouldn’t mind getting my hands on them!” justaguy enthused.
Needless to say, Vanity Fair Italia’s latest cover feature is a total must-see. Join the conversation, check out ALL of the sensational solo covers and so much more, here.
