November 9th, 2011 Janelle comments (10)i-D Magazine‘s final two covers of their winter warm up issue feature the stunning Joan Smalls and incredible new face Benjamin Eidem. The winking shots by Benjamin Alexander Huseby and Willy Vanderperre are as cool as you’d expect from i-D and when we showed Joan & Benjamin the covers backstage today (at Victoria’s Secret & Calvin Klein respectively) they were absolutely thrilled with the end result. More on both developments later – but for now check out i-D Online for even more from the Winter Warm up Issue.

Ben Eidem is a star!! Love is all I can say. Good for Joan getting another iD, but I’m still waiting on Vogue:) Good for her at the VS show. What is Calvin Klein got goin on this week though?

Ewwww, Joan’s is awful! She can’t do anything about it though, just the hair and styling.
Benjamin’s cover is the best! Love it.

It’s great Joan’s on the cover ‘n all but it leaves me wanting more…
seriously… it’s JOAN FREAKIN’ SMALLS for crissakes!! use her to her full potential and you have a cover that can hit it outta the park!

I love Joan but the styling for this cover is awful. i -D needs Edward Enniful!!! Joan was the most stunning at last nights Victoria Secret show. Her body and legs were not just there (like most girls) but her body made you notice her!

I’m not in love with that Joan cover, but she still brings it. Love her!
So obsessed with Benjamin Eidem! I need to have him in front of my camera.

I just came back here after a two week vacation at Curacao, lovely time btw. I noticed my comment hadn’t gone through.
All I wanted to say, was that Joan is undeniably beautiful, a flawless face, but for me, totally unrecognizable, a black version of Anna Jagodzinska.
I’ve been a model aficionado since 1992 when I first saw a picture of Claudia Schiffer in a Finnish tabloid and I’ve seen a LOT of models came and go and come back after that. For me Joan can never compete with other black models of recent decades, such as Naomi, Veronica, Tyra, Beverley Peele, Brandi, Alek, Liya or Jourdan. She just isn’t recognizable, no matter how perfectionately proportioned her face is. This isn’t hate talk and I believe I have written in rather good English, so I hope You will not delete it again.

@Lily- I respect your opinion, but to say that Joan cannot compete with Jourdan is just plain wrong. In fact, Jourdan is the one having a hard time getting even close to Joan’s level, and quite a few of the names you mentioned haven’t been as successful as Joan has. I personally think that Joan has a very distinct look, and no one really looks like her. Jourdan on the other hand, is the one who is very plain, imo. She reminds me of Vlada- good runway filler, but not much else. I think Joan is going to be a supermodel, while someone like Jourdan is just lucky to have lasted this long. Just what I think.
