A good ol’ surprise is everything, and Vogue France bestows upon us the biggest surprise of all this month by enlisting Steven Meisel as cover shoot photographer. That’s right, the legendary lensman who would regularly only photograph the covers of British and Italian Vogue, points his masterful lens toward Vivienne Rohner for Vogue France’s September 2024 cover shoot. The dreamy shoot draws inspiration from Emmanuelle, the 1974 cult French erotic film directed by Just Jaeckin. In the undeniably beautiful, alluring and ethereal cover image, Rohner is styled by Marie-Amelie Sauvé in a creation from Chemena Kamali’s Fall 2024 Chloé collection.
Read below the reactions of theFashionSpot’s forum members:
