After 19 Vogue editors made day-late-dollar-short vows to keep underage and eating-disordered models from the pages of their publications, Vogue Paris plopped a photo of Gisele Bunchen's sand-covered booty on their June cover. Not undernourished or underaged, but she's still looking pretty thin. American Vogue went with a (seriously Photoshopped) image of Serena Williams alongside Olympic athletes (read: sinewy) Ryan Lochte and Hope Solo, followed by a spread with an unusually buff (read: Vogue Italia-style) Karlie Kloss and this year's Team USA.
Vogue UK shot Kate Moss, England's resident supermodel, looking only slightly less frail than usual, and hile we applaud American Vogue for their effort to keep their word (though it should have happened long ago), we're wondering if their Parisian and British counterparts have really done a damn thing to change the "ideal." Even then, isn't using three Olympic competitors just as unrealistic as using an under-nourished 15-year-old? Do Gisele and Kate as cover choices signal the change Vogue promised?
