Kate Moss's 1st and 28th British Vogue covers
Recently I posted about Kate Moss' 28th British Vogue cover. In the past 16 years she's had more than 2 years worth of covers. In 2000 she was on the cover of 4 British Vogues 12 covers. I cant think of any other model that has had more covers of a particular magazine than her. In fact the only person to cover a magazine more than her is Oprah Winfrey. However , its okay for Oprah Winfrey to cover every issue of O Magazine because she owns it.
One reader of this blog, got especially peeved by Kate Moss' appearance on the cover of British Vogue's September 2009 issue. Benedict left the following comment on that blog posts.
"
What the F*** are you drugged-up bitches so excited about? Do they have no models left in the U.K. I have no problems with Kate being on a cover but when they all look the same for the 28th time – it's a joke! Her contribution to fashion is nil and she knows it. This skag is milking it for all its worth, so much for playing victim.
Although, I dont agree with everything Benedict is saying he does make me raise the question. Has British Vogue jumped the shark by placing Kate Moss on 28 covers? It is quite excessive , its not like there is a shortage of Supermodels.
Alexandra Schulman has a lot to answer for:
1. If all you can do is put the same model on every cover then why bother coming to work. To think she is considered for U.S Vogue – hahaha!Anna Wintour she aren't
2. Your dress sense screams 'Mum of a dozen kids' not 'Fashion Editor'.
3. So much for taking a stand against size zero models, yet you support the drug habits of this drugged-out whore. What are you promoting here? The drugged-out, urchin heroine chic has been on our landscape for two decades, yet you continue to promote this in a fashion magazine – HYPOCRITE!
4. Your life changed when you landed at Vogue, unfortunately you have not changed ours.
So please stop raving about every F*** cover Kate is on because it's a F***** waste of space in your drugged-out universe. If you want fashion Buy ITALIAN VOGUE!
British Vogue – buy if you want to wipe it with your bottom!" - Benedict
