Lebron James and Brazilian supermodel Gisele Bundchen are making history with their appearance on the cover of the April issue of Vogue.
We wish Lebron James was photographed looking handsome in a suit like George Clooney was on his Vogue cover. Here's NY Magazine's take on the issue.
Basketball player LeBron James and supermodel Gisele Bündchen will mug for the cover of Vogue's shape issue, according to the New York Post. This would break all the rules of a Vogue cover. Seldom does editrix Anna Wintour put on her cover: (a) more than one model, (b) a man, (c) a person of color. We looked back at ten years of Vogue covers and compiled a list and images of these three rare instances after the jump. We also discovered Gisele was the last lady to appear with a man (George Clooney) on the cover, proving life is just not fair. source
NY Magazine also compiled a list of Vogue issue with Models of Color appearing on the cover.
Unfortunately, number of covers featuring models of color in the past 10 year history of the magazine totaled less than 10.
French Vogue Paris made history with model Andre J appearing on the cover of their November issue.
