As a result of Anna Wintour installed as Condé Nast’s global content advisor, we’ve become completely accustom to Vogues across the world sharing content. Kate Moss, for example, made the cover of Vogue not once but three times (across Vogue Germany, Vogue Taiwan and Vogue Japan) over the months of May and June – each assembled from the same Nikolai von Bismarck shoot. The latest to be shared is Vogue Italia’s recent June 2024 cover offering featuring Hunter Schafer photographed by Ethan James Green. At the very least, Vogue Germany’s head of editorial content Kerstin Weng opts for a different cover photograph, than selected by Italian Vogue‘s Francesca Ragazzi. Covering the mag’s June 2024 edition, the American actress, model and red capret style siren showcases a canary yellow creation from Kim Jones’ Spring 2024 Fendi collection, teamed by stylist Dara Allen with heels from Marc Jacobs.
Read below the reactions of theFashionSpot’s forum members:
“So Ethan’s kinda merging Steven Meisel goes to LA + Meisel mid 2000s, huh?” asked thiago the moment the cover struck.
“Sort of ‘cool’ shot but it doesn’t work as a cover,” voiced Petrus.
Also not entirely convinced was forum member oaklee91, commenting: “Should’ve chosen some other shot!”
“Looks like she got very dressed up to clean the glass windows and doors,” mocked Gary89.
“This dress looks HORRIBLE, and the shoes don’t even deserve my comment…” critiqued DK92.
MModa, however, disagreed with the majority. “I really like the cover. Hunter Schafer is definitely dressed up for summer. The shoes are funky but somehow they work.”
“Not as… ethereal as Vogue Italia but it’s a solid cover. The composition is the photograph works, especially with Dara Allen’s styling. The Fendi dress and Marc Jacobs shoes are showcased in the best way. It’s all just very easy on the eye. A nice use of a repurposed shoot, if you ask me,” reasoned vogue28.
