Models on magazine covers are hardly a novelty anymore but a complete pickings of our Icons and New Supers lists sure is. That’s why the latest Dazed‘s issue is just so good – with nine covers it stands as an unabashed declaration for the “era-defining”, cult muses of today. Alek Wek, Debra Shaw, Guinevere Van Seenus, Jamie Bochert, Karen Elson, Lara Stone, Mariacarla Boscono, and Saskia de Brauw show us how it’s done, effortlessly posing for the current photographic vanguard. Who was lucky enough to be paired with these pillars of modelling history? First-time covers for Campbell Addy, Lea Colombo, Letty Schmiterlow, Tyler Mitchell, and Tom Johnson join regular contributors Angelo Pennetta, Brianna Capozzi, and Charlotte Wales. That not enough for you? There’s four digital covers of Sasha Pivovarova, Tasha Tilberg, Kirsten Owen, and Querelle Jansen to be devoted to.

Alek Wek, Debra Shaw, Karen Elson, Guinevere van Seenus, Tasha Tilberg, and Kirsten Owen, they are some of my muses since of the nineties, however, this is not the time of the interesting photographers, no.
Diversity is not black and white. Never was and never will be.
