Mert Alas (of the photographic duo Mert Alas & Marcus Piggott) recently went solo to photograph Dua Lipa for Vogue France and is now out on his lonesome once again to capture not one but six spectacular covers for W Magazine’s mega Fall Fashion Issue for 2023. Editor Sara Moonves welcomes Kaia Gerber, Anok Yai, Gigi Hadid, Mona Tougaard, Liu Wen and Kendall Jenner as cover girls for the occasion, who each front their respective fierce and fabulous covers, donning looks from brands such as Celine, Fendi, Burberry, Christian Dior and Louis Vuitton.
As always with a multi-selection of covers, members of our forums were quick to select their fave. “I like them all, but my favorite is actually Gigi’s,” immediately voiced kokobombon.
“Really into the art direction! The Gigi cover is my fave. Marie-Amelie Sauvé really made the Burberry look interesting and desirable,” GivenchyAddict admired.
“I love these. These instantly took me back to Vogue Paris’ special collections editorials. The mix of outdoor shots then you’ll have studio portraits. Can’t believe W Magazine takes the cake,” MON chimed in.
Also very much a fan was Ihhbl, commenting: “I like Anok’s, it’s so different from the others. Gigi also looks great!”
“Terrific to see W Magazine back on full form, and feels like Christmas has came early with the massive ‘fashion!’ splashed across the cover, in addition to the rather terrific selection of covers. The art direction immediately transported me back to 2008 (in the very best way). Out of all the six covers, Gigi’s is my most fave,” vogue28 raved.
