Gisele Is British Vogue’s June 2022 Cover Star
I’ve lost count of the number of times during my years in fashion publishing when I’ve heard it said models as cover stars are over. To this statement I’ve only ever had one response: not on my watch. When it comes to the women who most often and most purely embody fashion’s course – who by sheer force of personality can distil a moment, an outfit, a mood – I will always have the utmost adoration and respect for the professionals.

This month, Vogue heralds a “supermodel summer” with an issue fit to burst with the brightest stars from across the fashion industry. Our leading light? It had to be the one and only Gisele. To mark her return to British Vogue’s cover for the first time in seven years, the Brazilian super stars in an epic 22-page photographic story by Steven Meisel, an ode to the timeless dazzle of hotel glamour, created over two days on location in New York. Styling Gisele for the shoot, I found myself once again marvelling at her boundless facility to create extraordinary fashion imagery. Now a married mother of two, her energy remains off the hook, her sense of the lens, of the light, of her own lustre are nothing short of magical. As she tells writer Chioma Nnadi in the accompanying profile, over vegan spring rolls in the kitchen of her Manhattan apartment, now that she’s in her forties, with the craziness of youth behind her, she’s never felt better – and it shows. https://www.vogue.co.uk/news/article/gisele-bundchen-british-vogue-june-2022/amp
