V magazine chooses models to grace cover of new issue
V magazine is going back to old stomping grounds. For the first time since 2009, the magazine has chosen to use models for its cover instead of the typical celebrities. Available Nov. 8, the new issue features four distinct covers, exhibiting models Candice Swanepoel and Joan Smalls; Daphne Groeneveld and Saskia de Brauw; Sui He and Hanaa Ben Abdesslem, and Bambi Northwood-Blyth and Lindsey Wixson, reported WWD.
“It’s a big moment of change in fashion. In some cases, you feel like it’s the end of an era. I have been feeling this with cover subjects, and especially models,” Carine Roitfeld, stylists of the covers, said to WWD. “These eight girls are unique, not one is like the other. Candice is the only blonde and blue-eyed of this new generation of supermodels. Joan is black, Sui He is Asian, Hanna is North African. It’s their diversity that makes each of them, to me, truly modern. They bring a new energy to fashion.”
On Oct. 30, V will make merry with a Halloween party in honor of the new issue, held at nightclub Escuelita and hosted by Richardson, Swanepoel, Smalls, Northwood-Blyth and He.
