The September/Fall 2024 issues are currently the gift that keeps on giving. V Magazine is the latest to drop their fall fashion extravaganza and is celebrating its 150th print issue this month. To commemorate such an occasion, V‘s long-serving editor Stephan Gan is keeping it in the family with the unveiling of Issue #150, by welcoming Gigi Hadid as cover girl. Making a return to the cover for a third time, the American beauty (and current face of the Rabanne Million Gold For Her fragrance) poses before the masterful lens of Inez van Lamsweerde & Vinoodh Matadin. Across two dynamic and collectable covers, Hadid gazes down the Dutch photographic duo’s lens for a duo of portrait cover photographs.
Read below the reactions of theFashionSpot’s forum members:
“Awful model by awful photographers,” critiqued avonlea002 the moment the covers struck.
“Gigi Hadid has really lost it, hasn’t she?” quizzed an underwhelmed WinstonH20.
“You can’t lose something you never had,” replied forum member DK92.
ReneSanchez voiced: “For such a celebratory issue, this feels like such a non-event.”
“What the hell is going on?” asked kokobombon. “It’s not even Gigi’s fault. I’m looking at you I&V and V Magazine‘s design team!”
“Seen better. Seen worse, both from Gigi Hadid and Inez van Lamsweerde & Vinoodh Matadin. Not the worst covers I’ve seen from V Magazine either,” reasoned vogue28.
MModa wasn’t exactly hating on the outcome either. “Although it is not perfect, I do like the first color cover featuring Gigi. It is very I&V – from the makeup to the graphics,” they shared.
