The Korean edition of Vogue is pretty much up there with the best of them – especially when it comes to their cover stars. Thankfully, editor-in-chief Shin Kwang-ho has a penchant for models as cover girls. Over recent months, Ida Heiner, Alex Consani, Jacqui Hooper, and Mathilda Gvarliani have covered the magazine. Therefore, it should come as no surprise to see Kwang-ho select a plethora of top models for the covers of the monumental 30th anniversary issue of Vogue Korea. To commemorate the occasion, Hyunji Shin, Chloe Oh, Felice Nova Noordhoff, Esther Kim, Bibi Breslin, Luiza Perote, Natasha Poly, and Soo Joo Park are each handed a cover. Across the series of eight cover offerings, the girls (each adorned in pieces from Cartier) pose for the photographer Hyea W. Kang.
The 30th Anniversary Covers of Vogue Korea
Read below the reactions of theFashionSpot’s forum members:
“What a mess,” immediately declared mathmathmath upon first look.
“Where are Sora Choi, Hye Rim Park, and Hoyeon Jung?” OllieJE questioned.
“What a random cast. It seems like models aren’t available anymore after the pandemic,” noted a disapproving DK92.
Bertrando3 wasn’t buying the outcome either. “NOPE. Not working. It feels super random. It’s a mess, all around. Can’t believe they didn’t book all the major Korean supermodels for a legendary group cover shoot. It would have been epic!”
Not everyone, however, was quick to express disappointment. “I like it! I’m shocked by the comments,” reasoned forum member Kimy Jo.
“Obsessed with Bibi’s. These are pretty strong covers,” defended prylvi.
