Have you seen the September covers of British and American Vogue yet? For some the images are a celebration of some of the most iconic faces we know, while others think it's amazing that four women over 50 are on the cover together.
Still, there are others, including me, with a variety of conflicting thoughts, which is why this episode is dedicated to the supermodels specials.
We’ve got the legends Christy Turlington, Cindy Crawford, Linda Evangelista and Naomi Campbell on the covers of both issues at the same time but much of the talk has centred around the use of AI retouching.
I would love to know your thoughts on these images too. If you’re listening on Spotify please take part in the poll on the show’s page. And feel free to get in touch with feedback over in the DMs on X, formerly Twitter or Instagram @beautymepodcast or email me beautymepodcast@gmail.com. Don’t forget, you’ll also find a video about this shoot over on TikTok @charissekenion and there's also the newsletter, beautymenotes.substack.com.
Did you know that you can now listen to BeautyMe on Amazon Music? Wherever you listen, I would really love if you could hit that subscribe or like button and do please leave a review.
