Chioma Nnadi is a whole five issues deep into her tenure as British Vogue‘s head of editorial content. It’s safe to say the buzz, spark and excitement Edward Enninful‘s Vogue generated is a officially a thing of the past. Thus far, covers under Nnadi’s direction with FKA Twigs, Zendaya, Sophie Turner and Mona Tougaard (posing alongside Central Cee) have been declared a tremendous FLOP. Up next on the magazine’s front cover is Suki Waterhouse. For August 2024, the British model, actress and singer makes a return to the British fashion bible nine years after her last (when posing alongside fellow Brit it-girls Georgia May Jagger and Cara Delevingne). À la Naomi Campbell, Suki cradles her newborn baby daughter in the charming cover portrait, lensed by Colin Dodgson. On location in Los Angeles, within the surroundings of luscious gardens, Julia Sarr-Jamois dressed Suki in a fringed coat from Matthieu Blazy’s Fall 2024 Bottega Veneta collection.
Read below the reactions of theFashionSpot’s forum members:
“God this magazine is the pits,” voiced Kite the moment the cover struck.
“I’m so incredibly bored of this concept. A million times over, all incredibly dull and repetitive. Is this the best choice of a cover of an issue arriving at what should be the peak of summer?” asked honeycombchild.
“Uninspiring. It has been seen and done a million times,” Valentine27 echoed.
“Nothing says ‘summer’ like a giant coat,” Lucien112 laughed.
Also deeply underwhelmed was avonlea002. “Taking a good fashion photograph must really be something close to rocket science when one looks at the work Vogue publishes these days,” they shared.
“I did not think for one second that in 2024, we’d be getting a Suki Waterhouse cover of British Vogue. Again, not one redeeming feature to a cover from Chioma Nnadi. The photography from Colin Dodgson is awful. I hate that horrid yellow tinge, the composition, the cropping… the list goes on,” shared vogue28.
“Kinda surprised Suki Waterhouse booked this,” added thenewclassic.
