Gigi's International Vogue Takeover

Gigi Hadid racked up her ninth and tenth Voguecovers this month (and, strictly speaking, her eleventh, sinceVogue Paris released two simultaneous covers for that issue), a feat that marks her out as the model of the moment, and probably of years to come. 


She first fronted an international edition exactly a year ago when Teen Vogueenlisted her to grace two covers for its March 2015 issue. Vogue Spain, Australia, and Brazil followed by July 2015, and in November she added VogueNetherlands and Vogue Italia to her tally.

But it is this year that has really seen her cement her status as the model name to know as she added two of the world's most famous and well established editions to her CV: British Vogue in January, and Vogue Paris (that double cover, including one sans vêtements) in March. A Vogue China cover, also in March, takes her number of cover appearances to 11 in one year.

She still has some distance to cover before she'll come near the world's most prolific Vogue cover girl: Kate Moss, who has more than 60 to her name, but 11 inside a year is certainly a good place to start. But will she beat her best friend and model contemporary Kendall Jenner (who has appeared on eight covers internationally) to that first American Vogue cover? Only time will tell.
