While this is one of the most amazing news this week (I think it tops Viola Davis and Esperanza Spalding wearing natural hair while attending the 2012 Oscars Ceremony), Joan Smalls’ Vogue Italia March 2012 is pretty strange.
Like they say: Over the top. Steven Meisel photographed a handful of gorgeous models (all white but Joan) for a special issue of Vogue Italia, dealing with the excess of all things style and fashion. And more. Not much has been posted online yet, however, I took out two images from the animated gifs which were made available. Now remember – it’s all about excess. All in all, I’m happy Joan landed this cover. As always, congrats to Franca Sozzani’s Vogue Italy for their courage and fashion initiative!

Joan Smalls is quickly becoming THE model of 2012! I like (not love) this cover – it is fun. Lastly only a truly gorgeous women could wear that eyeshadow & still look fab. I wish this was the kind of cover that we got on this side of the pond – fashion & beauty together (dream on).
HUZZAH FOR JOAN SMALLS!
AND HUZZAH FOR ITALIAN VOGUE!
why are they the only ones out of the Vogue family that realizes that beauty comes in many different colours?
I like this cover, it kind of reminds me of the old Ebony magazine covers from the 70’s that my parents use to read! : )
Fun and beauty on one cover! Last week I had a Pam Grier revival on my Facebook face. There’s some of her here and also some of Beyoncé on the cover photo and still it’s so very Joan.
I luv this cover but wait till you see the May cover of OZ VOGUE! It is spectacular! I am so glad Joan is becoming the ‘it girl’ of 2012.
keiKo; I saw that cover and it’s amazing!! OZ did it definitely better in my view :)
She’s really a model that does impress me and someone I always recognize. WOW! Feels very frumpy looking at her….:)
I saw the Australia Vogue cover as well! Joan looks stellar! : )
