VOGUE, Supermodels
Nominated by Alan Brydon, MPG:
For those of us old enough to remember when Supermodels were a new phenomenon, this January 1990 Vogue cover really epitomised the whole concept - and of course it appeared on the magazine that had been a massive part of making that phenomenon possible. Not only are the women stunningly beautiful - especially Cindy! - but the shot is brilliant in its (apparent) simplicity, and the image made us all feel that, as we left the lairy and gaudy 80's behind, real beauty and style were ahead of us in the exciting 90's. It's impact and potency went far beyond the cover of a single issue of a single magazine, and apart from launching the five girls into the modelling stratosphere, it inspired and influenced women for years to come - and probably, in some small way, it still is now!
PPA would like to thank its Strategic Partners for supporting Magazine Week
