At the helm of Vogue Korea, Shin Kwang-ho has managed to successfully mix a blend of both homegrown talents and international faces when it comes to selecting the magazine’s cover stars. Korean stars such as Jennie Kim of Blackpink, Jimin of the band BTS and the actress Jun Ji-hyun fronted covers throughout 2023 while international faces included Lila Moss, Naomi Campbell and América González. Kwang-ho kick-starts 2024 by welcoming Lulu Tenney as Vogue Korea’s January 2024 cover girl, who poses for photographer Davit Giorgadze. Styled by Dogi Nesanir, the American model wears a fringed suit from Matthieu Blazy’s Spring 2024 collection for Bottega Veneta in the chic and minimalist cover image.

Vogue Korea’s latest left members of our forums divided. “Awful styling and proportions,” an underwhelmed kokobombon critiqued.

“Very basic,” MON chimed in.

“Personally, I don’t think this cover has a good feel,” ERIKMISUN pointed out.

Hafyiez wafa commented: “I’m do not understand Vogue Korea’s aesthetic. Could they be more creative?”

Also not exactly thrilled with the outcome was crmsn: “I don’t really hate it, but it’s not what I expected from them after their October-December covers. It’s just so… basic. Even the layout looks outdated!”

“Not the most visually-arresting Korean Vogue cover I’ve came across but compared with most other editions of Vogue, I do quite like this. The colors are gorgeous!” confessed vogue28.

Selena Gomez has been pretty much a constant on the covers of Vogue, ever since Vogue Brazil welcomed the American hitmaker onto her very first back in June 2016. Covers for Vogue Australia (on two seperate occasions), Vogue Singapore and American Vogue (again, twice) have since followed. Karla Martínez de Salas is quick to welcome Gomez back onto the cover of Vogue Mexico with the unveiling of the magazine’s January 2024 installment, as she’s captured all smiles for photographer Michael Bailey-Gates. Posing beside two giant floral displays in the charming cover photograph, the now 8-time Vogue cover girl is dressed by stylist Clare Byrne in a look from Prada’s Spring 2024 collection.

Read below the reactions of theFashionSpot’s forum members:

“This is so wrong… Selena looks like she wants to pee! She is going strong to be the singer with the worst covers in history. I still have NIGHTMARES about the tragedy that is her cover for V Magazine!” DK92 exclaimed.

“Why this? Starting off 2024 bad Vogue Mexico. They need a new team, obviously…” called out Xone.

“Aaaayyyyyy noo,” shrieked oaklee91, suggesting they’d seen better covers.

The Ghost of the Castle asked, “Is Selena Gomez even an ambassador to any fashion brand right now?”

“Seriously, will anything ever compare to when Mert Alas & Marcus Piggott photographed Selena for American Vogue‘s April 2017 issue? To this day, it remains the gold standard of Selena’s magazine covers and apparently no other creative individual wishes to outdo it,” noted vogue28.

As editor of W Magazine, Sara Moonves has made the magazine’s ‘Best Performances’ issues into a bit of a thing. Since 2021 when the annual edition first made its official appearance, issues have been photographed by an array of celebrated photographers including Juergen Teller, Tim Walker and Jamie Hawkesworth. Moonves welcomes back Teller with open arms for W‘s 2024 portfolio, bestowing upon us an assortment of 13 covers featuring a whole bevy of A-list talent. In each of the covers Margot Robbie, Nicolas Cage, Greta Lee, Zac Efron, Natalie Portman, Colman Domingo, Jodie Foster, Ryan Gosling, Da’Vine Joy Randolph, Julianne Moore, Lily Gladstone, Charles Melton and Robert Downey Jr. pose before Teller’s lens around various different Hollywood locations.

Read below the reactions of theFashionSpot’s forum members:

“Honestly, not sure what to think of these…” shared Ivancica the moment the covers dropped.

“These are all depressing to look at. Juergen even managed to make Margot Robbie and Ryan Gosling look lifeless,” chimed in gunsnroses.

Also left severely disappointed was forum member lookatme, commenting: “Tragic. This kind of photography and concept is so embarrassing. OMG SO QUIRKED UP! THEY’RE IN A TRASHY SOUVENIR SHOP! HE’S HOLDING A LOBSTER! OMG!”

Xone felt the same way: “Teller needs a better direction, there is nothing interesting here – too pretentious!”

“These best performances issues by Juergen Teller (and everyone else) are the absolute worst when it comes to Sara Moonves’ W Magazine! Not one, not ONE redeeming cover and this is one of those occasions in which I cannot abide Teller’s photography or aesthetic. Major… UGH!” ranted vogue28.

Make no mistake that from the moment Margaret Zhang got her foot under the desk as editor-in-chief of Vogue China, she has championed and supported homegrown talent – especially that of Chinese fashion models. Last year, Zhang gave up the Chinese fashion bible’s front covers to everyone from Fei Fei Sun and Shu Pei to Lina Zhang and He Cong. To kick-start 2024, Zhang welcomes Chu Wong as the magazine’s January 2024 cover star. Across a duo of covers, the Chinese beauty who is one of the current faces of Louis Vuitton poses for photographer Huang Jiaqi on location under gloomy grey skies and a rugged landscape which makes for a visually-arresting backdrop. Dressed by stylist Vivienne Sun, Wong wears pieces from Prada’s Spring 2024 collection in the two cover photographs.

Read below the reactions of theFashionSpot’s forum members:

“Every issue of Vogue China under the new editor feels the same. It’s all so boring,” blueorchid critiqued.

Also majorly underwhelmed was vogue28: “The second cover with the maroon-colored Prada is abysmal, as if the month of January isn’t dismal enough already! The red of the Prada skirt on the first cover does help brighten the gloomy (albeit stunning) backdrop in the first cover somewhat, which I am able to appreciate. What a pair of weak covers from Vogue China!”

Forum member crmsm ultimately disagreed, commenting: “Beautiful covers!”

“Very easy on the eyes, I’m thoroughly enjoying everything,” oaklee91 approved.

The year 2023 bestowed upon us the resurgence of Linda Evangelista. On the magazine cover front alone, the absolute icon of modeling covered both American and British Vogue‘s all-important September issues (alongside her supermodel peers), in addition to making for a much-welcomed sight on the covers of WSJ. Magazine, D la Repubblica, The Sunday Time Style and The Travel Almanac.

Not even one week into 2024 and we’ve already got Evangelista gracing V Magazine – we’re off to an almighty start for the new year. Never shy of endorsing models as cover stars, the industry legend fronts V‘s Spring Preview 2024 edition which promises to be an explosion of pure unapologetic fashion and fantasy. Across four highly-stylized and collectable covers captured by Steven Klein and styled by Patti Wilson, Linda cements the fact she is fashion’s ultimate chameleon, partaking in the dynamic and fantasy-filled cover shoot. Showing off her extreme versatility, Linda rocks an array of hairstyles, bold makeup looks and show-stopping creations from the likes of Miu Miu, Ocean Savage, Dolce & Gabbana and Aziz.

Read below the reactions of theFashionSpot’s forum members:

“The resurgence of Linda Evangelista is without a doubt my favorite thing to happen in fashion in recent memory,” raved aracic.

“The first cover is definitely striking. Finally something different from Linda and in full-color,” MModa appreciated.

Vision Ruan echoed the same sentiments, commenting: “I’m glad that Linda stepped out of her comfort zone and showed us something different!”

“Linda just keeps delivering hit after hit,” Urban Stylin declared.

Not everyone, everyone, felt the same way. “Unbearably dated. Why does everything come across so soulless these days?” asked lookatme.

“They’re all kind of awful if you ask me. Linda and Steven have both done so much great work – this just isn’t that,” KoV exclaimed.

“Regardless of the finished product, I feel strongly there’s always just a cause for outright celebration whenever Linda Evangelista makes an appearance. What a way to start 2024!” championed vogue28.

Since 1992, it has been common knowledge that Sofia Coppola is capable of delivering stellar magazine covers (when Steven Meisel first photographed Coppola for Vogue Italia). Since that time, we’ve witnessed the American film director and screenwriter take to the covers of Vogue Paris, The Gentlewoman, WSJ. Magazine, AnOther and W Magazine (to name a select few) with stellar results. M Le Magazine du Monde is Coppola’s latest cover conquest, to which she poses before the lens of photographer Ethan James Green. In the chic and timeless black and white cover portrait, stylist Sydney Rose Thomas selected a black tweed Chanel Jacket, a white t-shirt from Miu Miu and a pair of Levi’s for Sofia to wear, which adds to the charm and sense of understated elegance. We are OBSESSED.

Read below the reactions of theFashionSpot’s forum members:

“Super boring and basic, but that’s kind of who she is. Love her Chanel jacket though,” voiced mepps.

“I love her but I wish it was more lively!” Lola701 wrote.

“I love how consistent Coppola’s style has been for the last 25-30 years. No matter who photographs her, the publication in which she appears, or the brands she’s wearing (Chanel on Chanel on Chanel these days, but it’s not always been the case), she always looks completely herself, and in command of her own image,” admired forum member KoV.

Vogue28 raved: “I think this is just delightful, love every single element to this whole cover shoot from the fact Sofia posed for Ethan James Green to the Chanel jacket and Levi’s jeans combo on the cover. The whole entire cover shoot is so elegant, tasteful and classy – Sofia Coppola personified, IMO. Vogue nowadays could never!”

Thankfully for us, Vogue Czechoslovakia is one of those editions of Vogue which tends to favor models as their cover stars. The year 2023 gave us everyone from veteran models Carmen Kass, Debra Shaw and Elle Macpherson to newbies like Giselle Norman and Daniela Kocianova. Czech Vogue‘s head of editorial content Danica Kovarova opts to kick-start 2024 by welcoming Alessandra Ambrosio as the publication’s cover girl, whose last Vogue cover appearance was for Vogue Mexico back in August 2023. Captured by the Morelli brothers, the Brazilian beauty welcomes us on location down on a sandy and idyllic-looking beach in Malibu. Styled by Milena Zuravljova, Alessandra embodies a true tomboy sporting a mashup of Cultnaked, Poan and Miu Miu in the laid-back and nonchalant cover photograph.

Read below the reactions of theFashionSpot’s forum members:

“I love that even though she didn’t have the support of big figures within the fashion industry, Alessandra Ambrosio is still around. She has earned her place and icon status in this game,” championed gustavo prado.

“This cover shows exactly why she didn’t have that support,” replied an unimpressed avonlea002.

“25 years modeling internationally and still in the game. Ambrosio may not have a blue chip pristine career, but the longevity has to be applauded and respected,” marsnoop2 chimed in.

MModa commented: “Although Alessandra Ambrosio is not my favorite model, I think that this is a beautiful cover. I love the mood, light, colors, location, and styling!”

“Everything about this cover is awful, starting with her,” criticized mepps.

“Never minded the sight of Alessandra Ambrosio but with the Morelli brothers, I’m always expectant of something along the lines of Vogue Thailand with Irina Shayk. Nevertheless, I do like this despite the tomboy styling, which I’m usually not a fan of,” vogue28 confessed.

Themed issues aren’t exactly anything new, and this time last year, Vogue Greece gave us ‘The Resolutions Issue’ with Lily Collins as their cover star. Twelve months later for January 2024, the magazine is following in the footsteps of Vogue Italia (in 2021) and centering its latest around all-things animals. Via the lens of photographer Richard Phibbs across a duo of rather sweet and charming covers, Kris Grikaite becomes the title’s cover girl in the process. Kris poses with some obedient canine companions in cover one (below) wearing Gucci. For the second alternative cover (after the jump), the Russian model of Lithuanian descent who first made a splash within the world of modeling just aged 16 as a Prada exclusive, poses alongside a friendly donkey and showcases a Louis Vuitton creation.

Read below the reactions of theFashionSpot’s forum members:

“The colors of the second cover are absolutely gorgeous, I just love those shades of green and how fresh and effortless the two covers are. A very nice start to 2024 for Vogue Greece!” approved vogue28.

“The second cover is beautiful,” DK92 agreed.

Also very much a fan was forum member mepps, commenting: “I’ve always loved this girls face. So preternatural and otherworldly. I think both covers are strong.”

Aracic said: “I also appreciate the soft colors and the beauty of that first cover, but there’s a disconnect between Kris and the animal that takes me out of the fantasy. She is drop dead gorgeous, tho!”

“That donkey is serving and taking all the attention away from Kris. The second cover looks like a backstage shot with some stray dogs which happened to be on set,” remarked avonlea002.

“I love Kris. Now she has her moment, the cover of Vogue Greece right after Vogue Turkey. I hope we get to see more of her,” shared fangora.

We’ll take our Luigi & Iango fix at any given moment! Whether the photographic duo are photographing campaigns for Ermanno Scervino or producing spectacular magazine covers – we here at theFashionSpot believe the creative twosome never put a foot wrong (well… almost).

Over at Vanity Fair Italia, Simone Marchetti appears to have taken a shining to Luigi & Iango, having commissioned the pair to capture the likes of Madonna, Kylie Jenner and Lila Moss (to name a few) throughout 2023. Marchetti is getting 2024 off to a positive start, enlisting Luigi & Iango to reunite with Penélope Cruz with the unveiling of Italian Vanity Fair‘s January 2024 edition. In the flawless cover portrait, the Spanish actress wears a denim jacket from Chanel (to which Cruz is brand ambassador) and an oversized hat from Hat and Spicy.

Read below the reactions of theFashionSpot’s forum members:

“Fabulous! Luigi & Iango for Vanity Fair has become the most exciting pairing for me personally and I eagerly anticipate every new cover that they shoot for the magazine. This one is no exception to their good and glamorous streak,” aracic applauded.

“Glorious! A beautiful winter-y cover!” admired Velasco.

“It’s damn crazy Vanity Fair is stronger than other main titles of Condé Nast,” remarked ivano.

Justaguy agreed, echoing: “Really nice cover of Penélope. Vogue should be embarrassed!”

WAVES was also very much a fan, commenting: “Thanking the Gods for L&I giving us this inch of necessary glam every other month!”

“Gorgeous, and of course it’s all just so right up my street! Not one single component for me to complain about here, just gorgeous photographs of a gorgeous woman. Penélope Cruz and Luigi & Iango have always proved to be a winning combo, and this is just another prime example,” vogue28 raved.

The Arabian fashion titles are having a moment right now, and we’re 100% here for it. First came Yasmin Warsame rocking Saint Laurent across a duo of dynamic Marie Claire Arabia covers. Now, Harper’s Bazaar Arabia comes in hot with Adriana Lima as their latest cover star. Glamour is always a good idea, and the Arabian fashion title received the memo loud and clear when it came to shooting their December 2023 cover story. Photographer Mattia Guolo and stylist Anna Castan teamed up to profile the Brazilian model for the occasion, who against a sleek grey studio backdrop, wears Roberto Cavalli and a hat from Bonfilio Hats by Pasquale Bonfilio in the regal cover image which oozes elegance, grace and old-school glamour.

Read below the reactions of theFashionSpot’s forum members:

“We’re supposed to believe that’s Adriana Lima?” asked blueorchid.

“This looks like an essential fashion image conjured by any most basic fashion student with a pencil, sitting bored in class. The barely dramatic hat, the elegant black and white combination, throw in some diamonds and lace, fake big pouty lips and big eyeliner. It’s almost comical,” disapproved aracic.

MModa wasn’t best impressed either, writing: “The cover photograph looks nothing like Adriana Lima. I am shocked! Why hire a successful and well-know model and turn her into a completely unrecognizable person?”

“I’m ALWAYS down for some highly-polished glamour when it comes to fashion magazine covers, but this is leaning more toward AI-level of fashion imagery, as opposed to something… natural. The post-production is off the scale and is extremely off-putting,” said vogue28.

“This screams America’s Next Top Model. So cheesy,” forum member phungnam96 exclaimed.
