Bring back the big six already!
In a world where Vogue is floundering while Elle increases ad pages, what better way to simultaneously bump up revenue and give the people what they want by reuniting the big six supermodels? American Vogue already missed the boat on coming out with an all Black issue (which Italian Vogue did, requiring Condé Nast to print 10,000 more copies—with 30% more ad pages, naturally), so why wait to do something equally as momentous?
Within the ad pages of this month’s “Age(less) Issue,” covergirl Kate Moss can be found along with Naomi Campbell, Linda Evangelista, Claudia Schiffer, Christy Turlington and a model with a mole so similar to Cindy Crawford’s, I’m just going to say it was her. Isn’t that a cover story? The biggest models of our time, who may have gone from editorial photo spreads to being relegated to the ad pages, are still alive and working, breaking the age-old (no pun intended) myth that models of a certain age can no longer work in the industry. It looks like the career of a supermodel is a lifelong calling from which one never truly retires. Anna Wintour, wake up and give us our supermodels.
