Vogue‘s long-serving editor-in-chief Anna Wintour opted to close out 2024 on a high, enlisting Marc Jacobs as the magazine’s first-ever guest editor. Wintour called upon the American designer to guest-edit the December 2024 issue. Jacobs enlisted Kaia Gerber as cover girl in the process. The all-American beauty, who previously graced the American fashion bible for April 2020 and June/July 2021 posed Steven Meisel. In two of the three cover photographs, Kaia is dressed by stylist Grace Coddington in looks from Jacobs’ Spring 2024 collection for a twosome of vibrant and joyous covers. For the third and final cover offering, Jacobs and Vogue commissioned Canadian visual artist Anna Weyant to paint a portrait of Gerber. Elsewhere in the Vogue December 2024 issue, Dutch photographic duo Inez van Lamsweerde & Vinoodh celebrate all-things movement and dance.
Thankfully for us, Vogue documented the whole process and uploaded a 15-minute video of the making of the December 2024 edition to YouTube. It’s a must-watch, to say the least.
