Farrah Storr has been making some bold and exciting moves over at British ELLE. Like starting the new year off with a groundbreaking Aweng and Alexus Ade-Chuol cover. Now the mag welcomes Gemma Chan to its February 2021 edition with the actress photographing beautifully before the lens of Marcin Kempski. Complete with styling from Jenny Kennedy, Gemma sports a showstopping creation from Molly Goddard’s Spring 2021 collection for the eye-catching cover shot.
Members of our forums were thrilled. “This just puts a smile on my face and that’s exactly what I’m looking for from a fashion magazine,” said slayage.

“Last year I had written this magazine off, but now it’s come back to life with two covers in a row where it’s offering something different than what we see on Vogue and Harper’s Bazaar,” appreciated tigerrouge.
Yohji was also a fan: “There’s something very Vogue Nippon circa 2007 about this.”
“Very ELLE Italia,” mikel pointed out.
“I like it but only because it looks like ELLE Italia and I’m a sucker for their 90s inspiration,” echoed kokobombon.
“A truly gorgeous and vibrant newsstand cover, very reminiscent of ELLE Italia and vintage ELLE covers indeed,” replied vogue28. “It’s just so bright and eye-catching, sparks joy thanks to the styling and mad layout. Not to mention how refreshing it is to see Asian representation on British newsstands!”
