What a nice way to wake up on a lazy Memorial Day morning! A few weeks ago Elle UK announced that David Beckham would be its first-ever solo guy cover model, and we’ve been drooling waiting in anticipation ever since. The cover dropped today and it does not disappoint. Shot by photographer Doug Inglish, one Read more →
Ever since Elle UK announced it would be putting a man on the cover for the first time ever, we’ve been wondering who the lucky guy would be. And duh, we should have guessed. The mag announced today that David Beckham will cover the July issue, which will celebrate London hosting the 2012 Olympics.
“David Beckham is a national hero, so we saw an opportunity to shoot a celebratory cover to support an historical and patriotic year,” Elle UK’s Editor-in-Chief Lorraine Candy said. We’re sure it doesn’t hurt that the football socccer star is also easy on the eyes–or that he’s married to one of Britain’s leading fashion designers.

Franca Sozzani Talks Anorexia and Fashion at Harvard: The editrix talked to Harvard students about the unfortunate role fashion plays in promoting the ideal of extreme thinness, and how it contributes to the anorexia epidemic seen in young women (and men) in several first-world societies. She says, “Why the age of supermodels, who were beautiful and womanly, slowly started decreasing and we now have still undeveloped adolescents with no sign of curves? Why is this considered beautiful?” Franca failed, however, to comment on the fact that these same “undeveloped adolescents” are prominently featured in her magazine from month to month. {Vogue.it}

I don’t have to tell you that the September issue is the most important issue of the year… But in case you’re living under a rock without a copy of The September Issue, it is.
Lucky for us, just about every magazine’s September issue cover has been revealed, from Vogue US romantic Kate Moss shot to a sexy Cindy Crawford on the cover of Harper’s Bazaar Singapore. Still missing from the pack is V‘s highly anticipated cover styled by Carine Roitfeld and Vogue Italia’s cover.
From the existing covers we’ve discerned that Louis Vuitton is the new Prada. Vuitton’s AW11 collection appears on 6 of the 51 covers shown here – more than any other label, so far.
And don’t forget that LOVE’s model covers hit newsstands on September 1! Will you be getting a Lara or a Mariacarla?
(p.s. Yes, that is Leigh Lezark on the cover of Harper’s Bazaar Korea – it’s the last slide.)

Jezebel has a couple shots of Kate Hudson from the latest issue of Elle UK, coming out later this week. First, let me just say I barely recognized her, but I don’t mean that in an insulting way.
