It seems anything Vogue US can do, Vogue Italia can do… And better. To celebrate Vogue Italia’s 50th anniversary, the publication has beaten its American sister at its own game by producing a foldout cover that features 50 of the top models in the industry shot by Steven Meisel. Vogue US only featured 9 models.
As significant as the US cover is (it is the first time in 25 years that a black model has featured on the cover), its pretty little young ‘instagirls’ just can’t compare to Vogue Italia’s collage of icons like Naomi Campbell, Linda Evangelista and Christy Turlington on its cover. These are the women that have helped to shape the industry and paved the way for the ‘instagirls’. Besides, you just don’t mess with Naomi Campbell…
