Vogue Netherlands

Jul 2026

For the July/August 2026 issue of Vogue Netherlands, the editorial team has crafted a striking cover that masterfully balances high-fashion edge with an accessible, warm sensibility. Captured by photographer Jorin Koers, the image centers on model Tess Carter, whose direct, piercing gaze anchors the frame, creating an immediate and intimate connection with the viewer. The styling, curated by fashion editor Linda Gumus Gerritsen, features a textured leopard print tweed jacket that offers a tactile, modern twist on classic luxury, while the choice of an open fit provides a subtle, contemporary silhouette. By utilizing natural light, the composition emphasizes the clean lines of the garment and the sharpness of the model's features, effectively leaning into an aesthetic of editorial minimalism. The background, a soft, blurred sandy texture, complements the wooden swing setting to evoke an atmosphere of relaxed, sun-drenched sophistication. With hair and makeup expertly handled by Magdalena Loza, the overall look avoids heavy artifice in favor of a polished, authentic glow that feels both timely and timeless. This project serves as a compelling masterclass in magazine cover design, proving that a refined approach to portraiture, paired with carefully considered tactile textures, remains the most powerful way to command attention on the newsstand and define the current cultural landscape within the high-stakes world of fashion media.
