LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: The latest cover shoot of Vogue magazine, featuring the 'original' supermodels Cindy Crawford, Linda Evangelista, Naomi Campbell, and Christy Turlington, has left fans unimpressed.
These iconic figures from the 1990s came together for a joint September issue cover for both Vogue and British Vogue, a revelation that initially excited fashion enthusiasts when it was first announced.
However, as the details of the cover shoot emerged, criticism began to surface regarding the chosen creative direction.
Why is Vogue being slammed for 'The Supermodels' cover?
The renowned supermodels were captured wearing dark-colored outfits against a silvery gray background, sparking a wave of disappointment among fans who took to social media to express their lack of enthusiasm for the pictures.
The dissatisfaction with the Vogue magazine cover stems from the perceived lack of creativity and underwhelming aesthetic choices.
Many critics expressed their disappointment, highlighting that the cover could have showcased a variety of creative approaches, yet it ended up featuring the supermodels dressed in all black, standing in a corner with subpar lighting.
Fans expressed a sense of missed potential, stating that a cover featuring such legendary figures from the fashion world should have been visually captivating and impactful.
Instead, the chosen concept was criticized for not doing justice to the iconic status of the supermodels and falling short of the high expectations associated with a cover of this magnitude.
Vogue trolled for 'terrible photo' on September cover
Despite the cover's tagline of "The greatest of all time," many fans turned to social media to express their disappointment and lack of enthusiasm towards the picture.
One fan wrote on Twitter, "Who was the creative director for this shoot? There is a 16 year old girl, somewhere, shooting better material with her iPhone."
Another commented, "You guys are doing dirty with this shoot and styling. They deserve so much better." A third bluntly aded, "It's a terrible photo."
Someone else asked, "This is a terrible cover photo. Lighting bad, color scheme off, composition wrong. What happened?" while another wrote, "American Vogue is so boring and unimaginative. You have the goats looking like a selling sunset cast photo."
"This really is a terrible photo, style is awkward and frumpy, looks like neither the photographer or models know what to do with them, clothes are ugly, and the photoshopping is extreme," added one.
Another commented, "Wow now that is definitely NOT the Greatest Cover of all time. What the hell happened??! Fire the art director and stylist. We all know not to wear black after a certain age. They look awful considering they’re still good looking. Bad. Bad. Bad. And. Where’s Claudia, Helena??"
