Julia Nobis Too Thin to Cover T? Deborah Needleman Doesn’t Think So
While we see T as more of a fashion magazine, many New York Times subscribers probably don’t. As people who look at images from fashion magazines and runways on a daily basis, we didn’t give this T cover featuring Julia Nobis in a swimsuit and leather jacket a second thought–at least not for any other reason than the impracticality of wearing a leather jacket over a swimsuit.
However, several readers–whose eyes are probably less accustomed than ours to seeing unrealistically thin people everywhere—complained about how shockingly thin and underage Nobis looked on the cover and in the accompanying editorial.
Deborah Needleman, T‘s EIC, however, disagrees.
