Anna Ewers is a firm industry fave, and ever since scoring her very first cover of Vogue almost a whole 10 years ago via the lens of Steven Meisel for Vogue Italia’s December 2013 issue – Anna makes a return to the Italian fashion glossy’s front cover for November 2023. Throughout her remarkable career as a high-fashion model, the German native has covered just about every edition of Vogue from British to French and German to Japanese. Anna’s 27th Vogue cover sees the current face of Chanel pose for photographer Bruno Staub, with Malina Joseph Gilchrist on styling duties. In the nonchalant and laidback cover image, Anna smiles down Staub’s lens rocking a mashup of Saint Laurent and Gucci, as she takes five outside with a beverage.
Members of theFashionSpot, however, believed Anna deserved FAR better. “You can literally come across that kind of photo on someone’s Instagram. What a waste of Anna,” cried out crmsn.
“I miss the days when a Vogue image showing the back end of a building or dirty alleyway would be a celebration of louche nightlife, not someone having a hot beverage while sitting beside a sewer manhole,” voiced tigerrouge.
“No thought went into this shot at all, and it’s certainly not inspiring,” noted a disapproving woemwoem.
Forum member Polynpon wasn’t feeling it either, commenting: “I miss the days of high-fashion and real glamour on the cover of Vogue!”
“A total waste of Anna Ewers, and after a very quick Google search, this is perhaps my least fave Vogue cover of hers. Far too raw, pedestrian, insipid, lackluster and uninspiring for my taste. How the magazine is expectant of potential new readership being engrossed by this cover is beyond me…” said vogue28.
Ihhbl described the cover as “embarrassing” but do you agree?
