I have about 700 Vogue covers archived. Here are some of my favorites.I do prefer the European covers. Vogue Italia is my all time favorite though because not only are the images striking but the design of the cover beautiful too.
Australia also have some excellent covers. My least favorite are the American Vogue covers.
I like the way you dropped that "My least favourites are the American Vogue Covers"
ReplyDeleteI agree they arnt as creative as the European!
Great post once again!

Hi Shirley,
ReplyDeleteThe US Vogue covers are so safe and celebrity focused. They always look to me like a cover for Elle or Marie Claire.
They are lovely images but they just don't inspire me.
Totally agree about the American vs. European covers. And... doesn't the model in the middle of the First Vogue look like Nic a bit?!
ReplyDeleteYou've hand picked some really nice ones! I particularly like the first and the third.
ReplyDeleteNice choice for a post, they are inspiring!:))
after seeing the september issue, i wonder what anna wintour would say about this statement haha! but i agree with you sam, american covers arent inspiring...
ReplyDeleteImagine...Anna Wintour would have me banned from the internet!
ReplyDeleteI love the Vanessa Paradis cover!
ReplyDeleteAnd you two, Sam and Nic, are a wonderful inspiration for so many of us.
I think the Vanessa Paradis is my all time favorite but it is a tough call.
ReplyDeleteMy favourite is the Vanessa one too. Just stunning. Makes me want to reach for the red lippy.

The last Front cover is gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteDo u have any similar tutorials on that?
Or could i request it?
I know you probably get loads of requests etc. so dont worry if you dont :)xx
1st, 5th and 9th are absolutely stunning!
ReplyDeleteOooo I love the simplicity of the Vogue Italia covers...
ReplyDeleteCause you can actually see the amazing photography instead of it being covered with words...that really annoys me.
Melissa,

Vogue Italia never fails to press the right buttons for me. I also love looking at random magazine covers from Asia - they can be so beautiful. Agree with you and others re. American Vogue covers. Well, any US magazine covers really... Too safe for my liking.
ReplyDeleteHa! I agree that the US magazines are horrible! I can attest to this as I am from the States! They're so blah and nothing but advertisements rather than serving the purpose of providing fashion advice.
ReplyDeleteI have to agree with the Vogue US statement. Everytime I get myself to Europe I buy Vogue. The only other magazine covers I enjoy are Allure, although they were better in the past. Nice post!
ReplyDeleteDo you collect magazines or only covers? I have tonns of magazines and it seems I need to go through them and get rid of some but OMG it's so hard to part with at least one of my precious Vogues ))
ReplyDeletei love all these coves, especialy the first one.
ReplyDeletecan you do a tutorial on the first one?
btw who are the models? they are stunning :)
i agree about the american vogues. frankly they suck.i live in the us and buy the European vogues.
ReplyDeleteFunny that you chose that Australian Vogue Cover (last one) because I wanted to use it for an art class task when I was in high school, but I never finished it. I still remember because I put a lot of thought into it...to no effect but anyway, I also thought that it was a striking cover - probably the most striking one of that month.
ReplyDeletehello,
ReplyDeletehow to get those 700 covers? :)
