Since Vogue Scandinavia came to fruition in 2021, the magazine has been a champion for homegrown talent. Editor-in-chief Martina Bonnier has supported talent within the subregion of Northern Europe, with everyone from music icon Björk to Vilma Sjöberg fronting the publication throughout 2024. Bonnier welcomes Giovanna Engelbert as a Vogue Scandinavia cover star for October/November 2024. The Italian-born, Stockholm-based fashion powerhouse (who has served as Swarovski creative director since 2020) poses for photographer Marcus Ohlsson. In the cover shot, Engelbert is dressed by stylist Maria Barsoum in an embellished Louis Vuitton look from Nicolas Ghesquiere’s 10-year Fall 2024 collection. Naturally, of course, Giovanna dons jewelry from Swarovski for the occasion, with Carl Milles’ Playing Angels sculptures looming in the background.

Read below the reactions of theFashionSpot’s forum members:
“Vogue Scandinavia just goes down and down, lower and lower. Probably this is their worst cover ever,” immediately said BalkaniStaCouture.
“What the hell is that font?” asked EDEN21.
“I thought the Scandinavians were the masters of quiet taste? Is this an AI-generated cover?” quizzed forum member Deleted Member 1957.
“They need to fire that digital retoucher,” stated a disapproving Xone.
Also far from impressed was blueorchid. “What goes through these people’s minds when they approve this slop? ‘Ahhh yes, genius… our customers will LOVE this! It will FLY off of the shelves!’” they laughed.
“This just looks like one of those travel agent advertisements,” noted 0st3nd.
