In This Together #USVogue #JuneJulyissue.

Love this ! Anna Wintour on creating the US vogue’s landmark issue .
” On Thursday, Vogue U.S. announced the release of a special issue for June/July, titled “Our Common Thread: Creativity in a Time of Crisis.” The cover features a single red rose against a white backdrop, an unpublished 1970 photograph by Irving Penn. In her editor’s letter, Anna Wintour noted it’s the first time American Vogue publishes a still-life cover in over 50 years.

“Like you, no doubt, I’ve been left reeling by the dramatic changes we’ve experienced in the space of a few short weeks and the constant emotional challenges of striving to look after our families, friends, colleagues — and ourselves,” Wintour wrote, acknowledging that, though it’s not the first crisis the world has faced in Vogue’s lifetime, the Covid-19 pandemic has been “different,” given its scale and reach.

The June/July 2020 issue, which will be available on newsstands on May 23 (barring any coronavirus-related delays), was put together remotely, Wintour continued in her letter. With it, the editor hopes “we have created a document of this moment for the years to come: a poignant reminder of how we were all acutely missing the miracles of everyday life and the joy that they can bring.” via Fashionista and American Vogue
