Linda Gumus Gerritsen continues to mean business at Vogue Netherlands. Subsequent to replacing Yeliz Cice as editor-in-chief, the magazine’s former fashion director has since welcomed the likes of Malgosia Bela and Ugbad Abdi as cover stars. To kick-start 2025, Jill Kortleve is once again a Vogue Netherlands cover girl with the unveiling of the January/February edition. The Dutch beauty, who first burst onto the modeling scene circa 2019, is celebrated across a twosome of terrific covers. Kortleve is placed before the lens of photographer Walter Pierre for the occasion, complete with styling from Ali Javaid. In the first cover (below), Jill bundles up in a look from the debut Alexander McQueen collection of Seán McGirr and poses in a monochromatic Lacoste look for cover two (after the jump).
Jill Kortleve for Vogue Netherlands January/February 2025:
Read below the reactions of theFashionSpot’s forum members:
“Weird, both of them,” immediately critiqued oaklee91.
“No, and no,” VogueDisciple93 chimed in.
“Jill Kortleve is trying so hard to look fierce, but failed miserably. Take any amateur girl in the streets and she’ll do better. At least the second cover is acceptable,” voiced svpernova.
Xone wasn’t buying it either, commenting: “Nothing works here. The idea of the first cover is OK but Jill Kortleve ruined it. No talent here!”
Yet not everyone was disappointed. “I like the first cover,” reasoned WAVES.
“I like the first cover a whole lot, and would even go as far as to say this is some of Jill Kortleve’s best work. She looks fantastic, I love the stare, the beauty styling, and the sense of presence with the first cover. That voluminous Alexander McQueen has photographed wonderfully,” shared vogue28.
