I bought this month's vogue a couple of days ago, and I wasn't surprised to see Sienna Miller on the front yet again. Vogue seems to use the same people for the front cover time and time again. Kate Moss has been on the cover of Vogue a grand total of 26 times, now whilst she is one of the most famous British models ever, there is a limit to the amount of times I want to see her on the front of a magazine. And I was thinking, doesn't she or the photographers/stylists/make-up artists get bored of doing a cover with the same model? And I don't think Sienna Miller has been on the cover nearly as much as Miss Moss, but again I don't want to see her time and time again on my magazine. I also learnt an interesting fact about her and Vogue whilst researching, they photoshopped her head onto a body of a model for a front cover of Vogue. I had a look at the picture, it does look a bit weird:
Why did they do this? Sienna Miller is an actress but does loads of modelling, so clearly other companies feel like she has a suitable body, so why photoshop someone elses body in there? It just confuses me!
I will continue to read Vogue every month because it is a useful resource for my fashion knowledge, but when I see the same people on the covers time and time again it makes me not want to buy them purely for that reason. If other people feel the same way and don't buy the magazine then surely they're losing readers each month. I have also started to buy American Vogue because they have much more interesting people on the front and other British magazines get great people too, I think Vogue needs to review their front covers.
Sorry, rant over, I just woke up and saw Sienna Miller staring at me and it annoyed me!
