Who was the designer of the year? The CFDA Fashion Award nominations are out! And I can't get over them (that's not necessarily a good thing): https://t.co/p3Ix5npNct

My biggest complaint with this cover is that Biles' backside is foregrounded. How many Vogue covers have you seen that feature a person's name slapped across their posterior?

The photographer of Davis' cover said that it's "a re-creation of the Louis Agassiz’ slave portraits." However, the Zealy daguerreotypes don’t focus on the backs of its subjects.

Shooting in-studio during lockdown was a problem, the solution was a selfie cover.
