British Vogue Embraces the LGBTQ+ Community for August 2022

We’re starting to lose count of the amount of barriers Edward Enninful has broken down at British Vogue. From giving the magazine’s front cover to models who are refashioning the face of the industry to embracing forces of change, he sure knows how to make a difference. Now for August 2022, the British fashion bible celebrates Pride by featuring 12 “revolutionary” faces of the LGBTQ+ community. The lineup includes Cara Delevingne, Cynthia Erivo, Ariana DeBose, Jordan Barrett, Munroe Bergdorf, Sheerah Ravindren, Cameron Lee Phan, Aweng Chuol, Nathan Westling, Valentina Sampaio, Gottmik and Kai-Isaiah Jamal shot by photographic duo Mert Alas and Marcus Piggott.

Members of our forums aren’t impressed, though. “It is like that horrendous collage W cover…” declared MagFan the moment the cover dropped.

“I don’t get why the right group is so separated from the rest on the cover,” critiqued mikel.

“It looks like a press shot for the latest series of Big Brother,” 8eight pointed out.

“Sadly, this looks terrible. This falls flat and is a complete letdown coming from Mert Alas and Marcus Piggott. The group is disjointed and completely random and it indeed looks like supplement material… It could’ve been so much better!” exclaimed aracic.

“Wow, the closer I look at the photo the worse it gets in terms of Photoshop. Can they still not manage basic editing in 2022?” asked annikad.

“Pretty bad when a Vogue cover looks like a rudimentary catalog spread for the local department store,” added dfl-001.

“It looks like a Gap campaign,” JoCaderone chimed in.
