It has been a never-ending guessing game over on theFashionSpot forums for months. Speculating, just as to who might crop up on the cover of Edward Enninful’s final issue of British Vogue. Since June 2023, upon the news of Enninful departing the British fashion bible after a rather remarkable 7-year stint, names like Beyoncé were thrown around with regards to his final cover star. Needless to say, we didn’t see this one coming…

Forgoing just the one cover star, Enninful called upon a whopping 40 of his chosenVogue icons for his concluding cover. As a result, Karen Elson, Irina Shayk, Laverne Cox, Anya Taylor-Joy, Serena Williams, Rina Sawayama, Karlie Kloss, Jourdan Dunn, Cindy Crawford, Amber Valletta, Precious Lee, Jodie Comer, Gemma Chan, Adut Akech, Vittoria Ceretti, Gugu Mbatha-Raw, Cata Delevingne, Jane Fonda, Gigi Hadid, Linda Evangelista, Adwoa Aboah, Miley Cyrus, Paloma Elsesser, Iman, Victoria Beckham, Ariana DeBose, Jameela Jamil, Oprah, Selma Hayek, Christy Turlington, Salma Blair, Maya Jama, Kate Moss, Cynthia Erivo, Simone Ashley, Lila Moss, Anok Yai, Kaia Gerber, Naomi Campbell and Dua Lipa grace the cover. The women flocked together in New York, and assemble for a group photograph before the lens of Steven Meisel.

Read below the reactions of theFashionSpot’s forum members:

“Thank you, Edward. Thank you fashion gods! It’s a very interesting mix of cover subjects, some greats, some less than greats. Everyone looks fantastic, not a single woman looks unflattering here and that’s exactly what you want in a group cover, ” approved aracic.

LastNight was of the same mind, echoing: “I really like it! I think it’s quite striking and impressive to get all those people together.”

“I mean it’s a nice flex for him to have all these names on his last issue, but the composition is awful,” chimed in Marc10.

Thiago commented: “The Photoshop is terrible but that’s a proper farewell – Steven Meisel and legends!”

“It’s insane that they managed to actually get everyone there and still made it look like it’s a completely fake, Photoshopped group picture,” exclaimed lookatme.

“The cover isn’t groundbreaking enough, but you can’t make me hate it. Edward is such a mastermind, and I will surely miss his Vogue era,” shared forum member crmsn.

Caioherreo most definitely wasn’t all too impressed, describing the cover as “super boring” but do you agree?

Perfect Magazine is hellbent on making sure we’re aware Issue #6 will be available on shelves February 15. The UK-based fashion magazine revealed the first of its mammoth 50-cover extravaganza earlier this month, in conjunction with Bella Hadid opting to stage a modeling comeback who posed across four fierce and utterly fabulous covers – setting the tone of what was to follow.

Models (or supermodels for that matter) were seemingly top priority as cover stars for editors-in-chief Bryan Yambao and Katie Grand. The pair serve up none other than a handful of fashion’s finest, including Linda Evangelista, Christy Turlington, Naomi Campbell, Kate Moss and Jerry Hall (to name a select few), who either pose for photographers Willy Vanderperre, David Bailey or Malick Bodian.

Across the remaining cover portraits feature the likes of fashion designers Alessandro Michele and Daniel Lee, actor Mark Ruffalo, actresses Elizabeth Debicki, Kim Cattrall and Christina Ricci, and singers Beth Ditto and Charli XCX to name just a few.

Read below the reactions of theFashionSpot’s forum members:

“Linda’s cover is the best!” heralded DK92.

“Linda’s cover is indeed the best, echoed kokobombon. ” love how they left some skin texture to not completely erase her age!”

Quick to show their approval also was vogue28, adding: “To be honest, I think I’d struggle to pick a favorite cover and I am loving how this gives me flashbacks to the heyday of Katie Grand’s Love! Some real terrific covers here. Specially those ones with Kate Moss, Christy Turlington, Linda Evangelista, Jerry Hall, Kaia Gerber and Maya Jama!”

Today, the modeling icon that is Kate Moss turns 50! As a result, we here at theFashionSpot are in the mood to celebrate, and are paying homage to the model of a generation with a trip down memory lane. Having amassed over 100 Vogue covers throughout her stellar career as one of fashion’s most prolific of models, Moss’ 40+ covers of British Vogue are legendary. In the year 2000 alone, Kate covered the British fashion bible’s February, May, September and December issues. Perhaps one thing we’re able to learn from Kate’s plethora of covers under then-editor Alexnadra Shulman, is the sheer brilliance which was achieved when paired with British fashion photographer Nick Knight.

From Kate’s first in 1993 by Corrine Day to morphing into a golden goddess via the lens of photographic duo Mert Alas & Marcus Piggott, scroll further for 16 times Kate Moss rocked the covers of British Vogue:

The holiday season is just around the corner, and glitz, glamour, sparkle and unapologetic splendor ought to be all the rage. Feeling festive, we’re reflecting back to unwrap the top 5 most festive fashion magazine covers of all time – from spectacular cover images lensed by master photographer Steven Meisel to uncovering a forgotten favorite deep within the Harper’s Bazaar archives.

Scroll further for theFashionSpot’s picks of the most festive and most dazzling magazine covers that have ever graced the newsstand:

#5 Vogue Italia December 2004 with Karen Elson by Steven Meisel:

While this cover may not exactly scream Christmas from the treetops, there’s no denying the cover shot oozes a certain holiday quality. Karen Elson posed for Steven Meisel and the duo achieved a romantically dark yet glamorous mood, as if Karen has just returned home from a fabulous New Year’s party and now sits alone reflecting on the handsome stranger she met. Meisel shot the redheaded British beauty wearing a black velvet Ralph Lauren gown, with Karen’s hair fashioned into old-Hollywood waves adding drama and charm to Italian Vogue‘s December 2024 cover.

#4 UK Vogue December 2007 with Sienna Miller by Nick Knight:

Nick Knight has created some overwhelmingly gorgeous British Vogue covers – most becoming instantly iconic. The magazine’s December 2007 cover may not be deemed iconic as of yet, but we certainly remember this particular cover shining bright like a diamond on the newsstand during the festive period of 2007. Sienna Miller showcased a stunning metallic gown by Dolce & Gabbana, looking ready for the party season ahead, posing alongside a quirky prop. The silver metallic fonts added pizazz once viewed in real life and we’ll be hunting out our copies today to get us in the festive spirit!

#3 Vogue Paris December 2001/January 2002 with Kate Moss by Mario Testino:

This cover just screams Christmas from the onset. Kate Moss graced the last double-issue of 2001 for French Vogue with Mario Testino capturing everyone’s favorite British supermodel with a set of holiday fairy lights wrapped around her head – with wonderful results! The cover, in theory, sounds rather cheesy (but aren’t holidays supposed to be cheesy?) yet Testino, Carine Roitfeld and Kate pulled the concept off perfectly. Holidays but make it fashion and we 100% approve.

#2 Vogue Russia December 2008 with Naomi Campbell by Mert Alas & Marcus Piggott:

Yet another cover that screams of the holiday season, although the December 2008 cover of Vogue Russia took a more luxurious approach this time around. The magazine tapped Naomi Campbell as its cover subject and got creative twosome Mert Alas & Marcus Piggott to photograph the sitting, opting to shoot Naomi draped in a luxurious white fur that cascaded around her structured face as she gazed down M&M’s lens. With a minimal amount of text and a subtle pink masthead, we’d say this cover is pretty much right on the money for December.

#1 Harper’s Bazaar December 1992 with Kate Moss by Patrick Demarchelier:

A golden oldie, a forgotten favorite and a clear winner. Kate Moss wows us on the December 1992 issue of American Harper’s Bazaar. Photographed by Patrick Demarchelier, a then 18-year-old Kate posed wearing an extravagant red Christian Dior haute couture gown, hair and makeup done to the nines, while holding a Christmas snow globe. Simple, effective and completely understated, we ask the current team of Bazaar to please take note. This is how a festive fashion magazine cover is truly done!

ELLE China doesn’t perhaps receive the recognition is deserves here on theFashionSpot – and throughout the industry at large. The magazine has served up a whole plethora of stunning covers for us throughout 2023 which have featured a bevy of Chinese talent including models He Cong, Liu Wen, Du Juan and just recently celebrated its milestone 35th anniversary with a series of spectacular covers celebrating change makers.

To round of the year on a high, Chinese ELLE editor welcomes makeup artist extraordinaire Charlotte Tilbury as cover star, who is joined by her friend, the modeling legend that is Kate Moss on the mag’s vibrant and festive December 2023 cover. Captured by photographer Matt Easton, the industry legends pose up a storm in the corner of Easton’s photographic studio, posing up against a pink backdrop – which immediately caught the attention of our forum members.

“I’m sure the post-production on this shoot was immense, but Kate looks stunning,” raved dodencebt the moment ELLE China’s latest surfaced on the forums.

“Beautiful, even if it’s retouched,” reasoned Ihhbl.

“Gorgeous, joyous, festive and feels like a total celebration of fashion and beauty! This does far more for me than what the six covers of British Vogue‘s December issue were able to deliver. Kate looks terrific, love the styling and Matt Easton’s photography here,” approved vogue28.

Also liking what they saw was forum member MModa, commenting: “Kate Moss looks really good in these photographs. It is the best she has looked in a few years now!”

“I agree this is the best Kate Moss has looked in a while,” echoed WAVES.

The accompanying cover feature is a total must-see. Check it out and join the conversation, here.

In the world of magazines, one could argue December is just as important as September. After all, it’s the time in which a magazine closes out the past twelve months, and we’ve come to expect a great deal from our fave fashion glossies around this time of the year.

As Edward Enninful rounds out his tenure at British Vogue, the Brit fashion bible is bestowing upon us a full-on Tim Walker extravaganza for December 2023. Echoing the theme of Enninful’s very first issue, British Vogue‘s latest is a merriment of British talent. Across a total of six celebratory covers pose actresses Olivia Colman, Jodie Comer and Tilda Swimton. Also in the lineup are rappers Stromzy and Little Simz and mother-daughter duo Kate and Lila Moss. Enninful himself reported for styling duties, selecting all-white looks from British fashion houses such as Erdem, 16Arlington, Vivienne Westwood, Richard Quinn, Charles Jeffrey Loverboy and Alexander McQueen.

However, upon checking out the covers, members of theFashionSpot forums were far from in the mood to celebrate. “British Vogue on a budget,” shrieked mepps.

“I miss the old times of obvious styled themes. ‘Great Britain’ and we get white styling on white backgrounds, celebrities making stupid faces. Vogue on a low budget, how times have changed,” kokobombon echoed.

“Apparently in Edward’s mind decadent festive glamour is also cancelled, just like creative vision, talent and imagination,” fumed forum member SanderGreen.

Ihhbl wasn’t feeling it either, crying out: “This is soooo underwhelming and lackluster!”

“I remember when Tim Walker used to create dazzling editorials with gorgeous clothes. What happened?” questioned gallianostan.

“A truly horrible series of covers, and not even the inclusion of my faves Kate and Lila Moss is enough to save this. I already dislike Tim Walker’s photography enough as it is, and then to give me this when all I wanted was festive glamour is… a slap in the face from Enninful,” a disapproving vogue28 voiced.

The post Not Even 6 Tim Walker-Shot Covers of British Vogue for December 2023 Is Enough to Win Over Our Forum Members, and Here’s Why… appeared first on theFashionSpot.

It’s universally known that if you want to be a model, you’ve got to be tall. For a lot of us, 5’9″ is a pretty good height, but in the fashion industry, that’s on the shorter side for a model. That doesn’t mean, however, that girls who aren’t blessed with longer legs can’t still have successful careers. In fact, there are plenty of women who have proved that, although they might not stand as tall as most models, they can still make it–like these 17 top models, all of whom are under 5’9″:

1. Lily-Rose Depp

Lily-Rose Depp may only be 5’3″, but she looms large in Karl Lagerfeld’s mind. The Chanel muse has walked many a tweed-filled runway (Haute Couture Spring 2017, Pre-Fall 2017, Haute Couture Fall 2015) and starred in various beauty and eyewear campaigns for the brand. Depp has already graced a fair number of magazine covers, among them Jalouse, LOVE, V Magazine, Vogue Paris, British Vogue, ELLE France, ELLE Greece and Vanity Fair France. We suppose she has her equally petite, preternaturally beautiful mom to thank.

2. Lottie Moss

Much like her big sister Kate Moss, Lottie Moss has risen within the industry despite being (somewhat) vertically challenged. (Needless to say, the family affiliation didn’t hurt.) The 5’6″ British beauty has fronted campaigns for Topshop, Chanel, Bulgari and RED Valentino. She’s walked the runways of Sonia Rykiel, Topshop Unique and Chanel and graced a handful of covers, the most notable being Vogue Paris’ May 2016 edition, which she shared with fellow genetically #blessed millennial Lucky Blue Smith.

3. Hailey Bieber

Instagirl Hailey Bieber is one of the most visible models of our time thanks (in part) to the 5’7″ blonde’s close friendship with the Jenner and Hadid sisters – and being married to Justin Bieber. Nevertheless, the IMG signee — who’s walked for the likes of Dolce & Gabbana, Jeremy Scott, Prabal Gurung, Elie Saab, Tory Burch, Off-White, Zadig & Voltaire and Tommy Hilfiger — has more than earned her stripes. She has fronted campaigns for Guess, Karl Lagerfeld, Tommy Jeans, Calvin Klein, Versace, Miu Miu, UGG. In June 2022, the American beauty unveiled Rhode – a line of efficacious, intentional skincare essentials.

4. Sofia Richie Grainge

Sofia Richie Grainge (daughter of Lionel Richie) is successfully forged her own identity in the modeling industry and now considered a style icon. The 5’6″, beauty has fronted Complex, Wonderland, Town & Country, walked the runways of Dolce & Gabbana, Chanel, Yeezy and Philipp Plein and appeared in the pages of W, V Magazine, Vogue Japan and Seventeen, among others. 

5. Adwoa Aboah

Freckle-faced Ghanaian-British beauty Adwoa Aboah is a force to be reckoned with. The 5’8″ 24-year-old is a Vogue (and Vogue.com) favorite thanks to her fresh, rebellious personal style. Not that she needed the validation. Aboah has walked nearly every runway of note (Miu Miu, Chanel, Christian Dior, Fenty x Puma, Versace, Fendi, Moschino, Marc Jacobs, Kenzo) and starred in countless high-profile campaigns (Marc Jacobs, Alexander Wang, Calvin Klein, Sephora). In 2017, Aboah jumped to the silver screen as Ghost in the Shell’s Lia.

6. Rose Bertram

Rose Bertram, a 5’7″ bombshell known for her curly mane and killer curves, is a favorite of Sports Illustrated, LOVE, H&M and Jeremy Scott. The IMG signee and Instagirl on the rise has also worked with beauty giant L’Oréal Paris and luxury lingerie retailer Agent Provocateur, among others.

7. Sara Sampaio

As far as Victoria’s Secret Angels go, 5’8″ Sara Sampaio is a bit on the “short” side. Still, Portugal’s most photogenic export is a mainstay on the international catwalks. In 2017, she’s strutted Balmain, Mugler, Elie Saab, Alberta Ferretti, Baja East, Marchesa, Tory Burch, Prabal Gurung and Tommy Hilfiger. Her list of recent campaign appearances is almost as long-winded — Moroccanoil, Victoria’s Secret, Blumarine, Hogan… Oh, and she’s already got Vogue, LOVE and Editorialist features under her belt.  

8. Emily Ratajkowski

You’ve definitely had an eyeful of 5’7″ Emily Ratajkowski — you’ll remember her from 2013’s controversial “Blurred Lines” music video and 2014’s movie adaptation of Gone Girl. But Ratajkowski’s a model first. Her formidable CV includes a turn on Miu Miu’s Fall 2016 runway, a spot in Marc Jacobs’ sprawling Spring 2016 ad campaign and stints on the covers of CR Fashion Book, GQ Spain and British Vogue. Oh, and she’s a firm fave of Donatella Versace.

9. Marisa Miller

Marisa Miller would be a babe no matter her height, which is 5’8″, to be exact. The American fashion model is known best for looking scrumptious in Sports Illustrated and for Victoria’s Secret.

10. Kate Moss

Kate Moss is an industry icon, which is amazing, considering shes’ only 5’7″. But her keen modeling abilities and dangerous, cool-girl vibe we all wish we had have turned her into one of the most successful faces in the world. 

11. Cara Delevingne

Cara Delevingne‘s height has been reported to be anywhere between 5’7″ and 5’8″. One thing’s for sure, she’s definitely not traditional runway height. Her agent once tried to get her cast in Louis Vuitton’s Fall 2012 show, but she was cut when Marc Jacobs asked, “Why is that dwarf in there?”

12. Devon Aoki

Devon Aoki is one of the shortest high fashion models out there, and has enjoyed a lot of success through her career. In the late 90s, she became the face of Versace and also posed for Chanel, Kenzo, Moschino, Fendi and many more. How tall is she? Just 5’5″.

13. Camille Rowe

Camille Rowe has landed campaigns with Chloé, Aldo, Dior Homme, H&M and more, as well as multiple covers of ELLE France. She’s also posed for Victoria’s Secret at only 5’7″. Not bad for a “short” girl, right?

14. Lila Moss

After posing alongside her model mother Kate Moss on Vogue Italia’s July 2016 edition, it was only a matter of time before Lila Moss reached superstardom. At 5’3″, Lila has secured campaigns for a whole multitude of fashion houses including Ermanno Scervino, Versace, Marc Jacobs and appeared on the magazine covers of British Vogue, Vogue Japan and Vanity Fair Italia to name a select few.

15. Liberty Ross

Liberty Ross‘ 5’6″ frame certainly was not a problem for Burberry, Emanuel Ungaro or Jimmy Choo–they all chose her to front their campaigns. 

16. Lydia Hearst

While it helps that your family is one of the most powerful in the publishing industry when you’re trying to start a modeling career, Lydia Hearst has had a lot of success–not because of her name. She’s landed campaigns for Juicy Couture, Pringle of Scotland, Swarovski and more. Not to mention the sizeable amount of print work she’s done for international versions of Vogue, Marie Claire, Elle and more. The 5’7″ Hearst has been so successful, that she was chosen to be a mentor for season 2 of Naomi Campbell’s modeling reality competition, The Face.

17. Laetitia Casta

Laetitia Casta has had a tremendously successful career in spite of her 5’6″ height. The credits are as far as the eye can see: A contract with L’Oréal Paris, a stint as a Victoria’s Secret Angel, covers of Vogue, ELLE, i-D as well as jobs modeling for Dolce & Gabbana, Givenchy, Roberto Cavalli, Vivienne Westwood and countless others.

The girls who ruled the runways during the 90s are having a massive resurgence within the world of fashion right now and we are 100% here for it. Linda Evangelista, Christy Turlington, Cindy Crawford and Naomi Campbell currently front Vogue’s massive September 2023 offering (for both the American and British editions). Linda also stars on WSJ. Magazine’s latest, as well as D la Repubblica. Christy is the face of Carolina Herrera, we’ve got Naomi designing a collection for PrettyLittleThing and MCM just welcomed back Cindy as the face of their brand, after almost three whole decades.
Don’t forget about Kate Moss too, who currently stars alongside other Anthony Vaccarello favorites in Saint Laurent’s mammoth Pre-Fall 2023 campaign, in addition to the legendary Brit icon now becoming the face of Anine Bing. To mark the occasion, the Los Angeles-based brand has gone all out celebrate the occasion, with an NYC pop-up filled with Kate Moss merch available for grabs to coincide with the release of the Chris Colls-shot advertising campaign.

Captured in the studio, against a sleek grey backdrop, Kate does what Kate does best looking completely effortless and at ease modeling Bing’s Fall 2023 collection.

As a designer, Kate Moss has been an inspiration for as long as I can remember. She is the epitome of timeless beauty and iconic style, embodying everything that ANINE BING stands for as a brand. It has been a dream come true to work together on this campaign.

– Anine Bing, Founder & Chief Creative Officer

Throughout the series of chic and understated campaign images, Kate rock a classic blazer and pants made from regenerated leather, a vintage-inspired jacket of cherry plaid, as well as other timeless and classic pieces which are available to purchase on Anine Bing now.

There’s zero denying the fact that as Saint Laurent’s creative director, Anthony Vaccarello has his favorites, who usually surface every now and again as the face of his triumphant collections for the legendary French fashion house. Make no mistake that Kate Moss is one of the Belgian-Italian designer’s muses, and with the unveiling of Saint Laurent’s latest campaign installment for Fall 2023 (which is technically Pre-Fall 2023), the iconic Brit model makes a grand return – two years after her last campaign appearance.

The campaign cements the notion less is ALWAYS more and that minimalism will forever be in fashion, as Kate poses against a sleek black backdrop and models one of Vaccarello’s chic black off-the-shoulder dresses before the lens of Gray Sorrenti (yes, the daughter of famed fashion photographer Mario Sorrenti).
