Re: The July 2017 Magazine Thread

From the top half I thought it was Robin Wright which made me excited for her to get a Vogue cover. She is long overdue one IMO.

Vogue UK hasn't had a celebrity on their cover since the November cover with Emily Blunt.

Vogue appears to be melding the worlds of Hollywood and art.

According to sources, the Condé Nast–owned glossy has paired actress Jennifer Lawrence with artist John Currin for its September cover.

A spokeswoman for Vogue would not confirm or deny the news, offering instead: “We do not comment on rumors of future editorial.”

The collaboration would come at a time when the Academy Award-winning actress is releasing a new slate of films in the fall, including “Mother!,” which is directed by Darren Aronofsky. (Perhaps coincidentally or not, Lawrence is also dating the “Black Swan” director).

But back to the collaboration. Like Currin’s art, which has a satirical, yet provocative bend, the similarly colorful movie poster for “Mother!” depicts a campy, bucolic portrait of Lawrence holding a heart. That poster could serve as inspiration for the partnership, insiders speculated, although those musings were not confirmed.

Despite there having been countless examples of big designers working with well-known artists, magazines partnering with artists have normally been relegated to the smaller, more niche publications. For instance, Garage Magazine worked with Urs Fischer last year to create a cover featuring Beyoncé, and Vogue’s younger sibling W Magazine often works with artists to produce striking images — and then there’s, Interview Magazine, which was founded by artist Andy Warhol.

Nonetheless, the tradition of artistic covers is also part of Vogue’s DNA. In the Forties Vogue tapped the likes of Salvadore Dalí, Man Ray and more for its covers.

First celeb to land two Vogue US covers? Her last Vogue cover was great. Her last September cover though I wasn't a fan of. Thanks V.

Zendaya covers US Vogue for July

That is absolutely outrageous for an actress with such a small body of work that is mostly teen films to land a Vogue cover when you consider the established actresses that don't have them.

So we have Kendall, Selena Gomez, Elle Fanning (super taleneted and deservant), Zendaya. The metamorphosis into Teen Vogue is nearly complete.

If we have to use young acts why not Lorde? She photographs well, has a lot of talent, is likable & self madel which means it is unlikely she will ever get a Vogue cover.

Kylie Jenner & the Smith Kids covers are coming.

It's awful. Another month not buying it.  I can't believe these issues are actually selling
