Vogue Faces Backlash Over Airbrushing Supermodels on Cover, Critics Call it a ‘Terrible Portrayal’ of ‘Women in their Prime,’ Ex-Editor Deems it Unnecessary

Vogue magazine has received criticism from fans for airbrushing iconic supermodels, including Cindy Crawford, Linda Evangelista, Naomi Campbell, and Christy Turlington, on their joint September issue cover for Vogue and British Vogue. Alexandra Shulman, former editor of British Vogue, expressed her disappointment in an article, stating that the publication turned the stars into “cartoon versions” of themselves. Social media users echoed these sentiments, calling for a more natural and relatable representation of the supermodels. Despite these criticisms, the cover received praise for featuring the original supermodels and showcasing their timeless beauty. The release of the cover comes amid rumors of a rift between British Vogue’s editor-in-chief, Edward Enninful, and Anna Wintour, leading to Enninful’s departure from the magazine. The cover design, which featured the supermodels wearing dark colors against a silvery grey background, was met with disappointment and described as “flat” by fans. However, supporters commended the return of the legendary models to the limelight and praised their iconic status. The cover shoot was done to promote their upcoming Apple TV+ docuseries, The Super Models, which will delve into their rise to fame and their current work in the fashion industry, activism, philanthropy, and business.
