The current issue of British Vogue looks awfully familiar, because it's something of a time warp.
The cover features a handful of major models from various decades, positioned in white oxford shirts on white wooden ladders.
But this isn't the first time Vogue has snapped this scene:
Their American counterpart shot the famous 100th anniversary issue in the same vein, with old-school supermodels like Cindy Crawford and Christy Turlington posed on the ladders now occupied by Lily Cole and Jacquetta Wheeler.
The irony:
This cover is called "the age issue," and indeed, readers can date its main image back to 1992, when Lily Cole was a toddler and Vogue did it the first time!

yeah, i think it's a popular way of photographing models for some reason. they probably feel like dressing them all in white and putting them on a simple stage (ladders! how quaint!) will show their natural beauty or something... haha
is it a fold out cover?
in any case, i think i spy erin o'connor in there and she was one of my absolute favorites growing up. im glad she still looks so great!
