Despite the appointment of Matthieu Blazy as Chanel creative director in December 2024, there are still zero signs of change at the fabled French fashion house (not until Blazy’s official runway debut come September, at least). The powers at Chanel HQ remain loyal to a select few when it comes to capturing the brand’s advertising campaigns – including Inez van Lamsweerde & Vinoodh Matadin. The Dutch photographic duo has captured an array of campaigns post-Virginie Viard‘s abrupt exit. As a result, it comes as no surprise to see the creative twosome shoot the Chanel Coco Beach campaign for 2025. The Chanel regulars ventured to the ultra-glamorous French resort town of St. Tropez for the occasion, complete with model Angelina Kendall posing poolside throughout the sun-drenched campaign imagery.

Read below the reactions of theFashionSpot’s forum members:

“Cheap looking,” immediately called out Avonlea.

“Wish they would discontinue these cheap basic collections like Coco Neige and Coco Beach. They don’t add anything to the table and are just a basic display of bland merchandise,” critiqued FashionPower.

“If you covered the logo, you would think this was a Pucci campaign,” chrisand849 chimed in.

Yet not everyone was left so disgruntled. “An absolutely beautiful campaign. I love the location, styling, and summer mood. Angelina Kendall looks sexy and desirable. The photos make me dream,” shared MModa.

“One of Inez van Lamsweerde & Vinoodh Matadin’s better Chanel campaigns, without question. I love the fact it’s only-girl, and it’s Angelina Kendall. I love the sun-drenched pool setting, and the beauty styling. It’s very reminiscent of 80s Chanel campaigns and I love that,” voiced vogue28.

Chanel is just like any other fashion house on the planet, and likes to make use of their brand ambassadors. The powers that be at the fabled French fashion house calls upon their ambassadors regularly, especially when producing its advertising campaigns. Names like Lupita Nyong’o and Margaret Qualley front the current Chanel Eyewear campaign, while Whitney Peak is the face of the Mademoiselle fragrance. Angèle, who signed on the dotted line with Chanel in 2020, is unveiled as the face of the Chanel Chance Eau Splendide fragrance and stars in the accompanying campaign. The Belgian singer-songwriter poses for Steven Meisel for the occasion, bringing a sense of youth, joy, and vitality as the floral fruity fragrance.

Read below the reactions of theFashionSpot’s forum members:

“It’s very fitting actually, for once. Angèle is perfect for Chance,” complemented Lola701 the moment the campaign stuck.

“The print campaign imagery works for me. It’s playful, joyful, and youthful. Angèle as the face of the Chanel Chance fragrance seems like the perfect fit, and the fact she’s serving Claudia Schiffer 90s Chanel suits me just fine,” chimed in vogue28.

Yet not everyone was so impressed. “Very juvenile,” Avonlea slated in disbelief.

“Wow, this is so old-looking. Like a cheap perfume campaign that you would find in the 90s in an Eastern European country or something,” shrieked Creative.

“Very sad to see so much commercial nothingness from such a celebrated and excellent photographer. It’s starting to tarnish the legacy at this point. This is not giving,” confessed aracic.

Thankfully for us, Rocco Liu has a penchant for models at Vogue China (because models on the covers of fashion magazines should be standard, right?). Subsequent to taking up the mantle of the Chinese fashion bible in 2024 (having replaced Margaret Zhang), names like Lina Zhang, He Cong, Jiahui Zhang, and Liu Wen have graced the magazine. Next up on the cover of Vogue China is Fei Fei Sun. The Chinese model (one of the country’s most prolific) poses on the title’s May 2025 edition, and is celebrated across a total of four covers. Fei Fei posed for photographer Zhong Lin for the occasion, captured both within the confines of the photographic studio and the great outdoors. In each of the four fantastic cover images, the industry favorite showcases couture creations from the likes of Miss Sohee and Chanel.

“Now that’s what I call fashion,” applauded an elated phungnam96.

“Fei Fei always delivers,” raved forum member zippyo.

“INCREDIBLE!” 90sfan exclaimed.

Also very much a fan was vogue28. “The cover of Fei Fei Sun in purple is absolutely GORGEOUS! Such a strong, graphic, solid, and eye-catching cover,” he voiced.

“OMG, j’adore,” enthused CCFAIRY.

Lulu Tenney continues to dominate runways, campaigns, and magazine covers across the globe. The industry has made the American beauty one of the most in-demand of faces in recent memory, and Tenney’s body of work continues to soar. Mere months into 2025, and Lulu has already graced the covers of Vogue Japan and Harper’s Bazaar France. Added to the portfolio of Lulu Tenney this month is a series of Harper’s Bazaar Italia covers. Italian Bazaar‘s editor-in-chief, Massimo Russo tapped the industry fave for Issue #19, and photographer Nick Knight to commemorate the occasion. The result is a trio of striking covers, with Lulu dressed in creations from Philip Treacy, Vivienne Westwood, and Chanel (as selected for the occasion by cover shoot stylist Sissy Vian).

Make no mistake that Sara Moonves can secure A-list talent for the cover of W Magazine. Moonves, who has served as the title’s editor-in-chief since 2019, has drawn in everyone from Zendaya and Angelina Jolie to Selena Gomez and Demi Moore for the annual Best Performances issue at the start of the year. Now, for Volume #3 2025, Chappell Roan makes an appearance on the cover of W Magazine. The American singer-songwriter aptly takes to the cover of The Pop Issue, and teams up with photographer Tim Walker. The team proved to be a perfect match for the occasion, with cover shoot stylist Genesis Webb selecting a feathered Chanel Haute Couture creation for Chappell to showcase in the cover image.

Chappell Roan for W Magazine Volume #3 2025

Read below the reactions of theFashionSpot’s forum members:

“A perfect pairing. Tim Walker did a good job with Chappell Roan. I always had a soft spot for these sort of clinically white portraits he does. It’s nice to see her slowly embraced by fashion,” shared aracic.

“She is SOOO talented! Great artist! Unapologetically herself! So glad she is having her moment!” heralded forum member BalkaniStaCouture.

“Chappell and Tim Walker are a natural pairing. W can be so hit or miss lately, but when it hits, it’s so good. Probably the most exciting American fashion magazine,” KoV applauded.

Sharing the same level of enthusiasm was kokobombon. “A match made in heaven, I love this,” they raved.

“So good and playful,” oaklee91 chimed in.

“Very nice. She looks great, and I love the colors and typography,” admired GivenchyHomme.

As the world of fashion awaits the highly anticipated debut of Matthieu Blazy as Chanel creative director in October, the fabled French fashion house ventured to Lake Como for its Cruise 2026 showcase. Keira Knightley, Margaret Qualley, and Lupita Nyong’o were just some of the stars who traveled to the idyllic Italian setting for the occasion, with the collection shown on location within the famed Villa d’Este hotel. Designed by the in-house design team, the lineup embodied relaxed glamour and carefree vacation vibes as an invitation to an Italian getaway. A cast of models meandered the hotel’s lush terrace, dressed for a sun-drenched vacation, sporting crocheted and terry cloth separates, tweed suits, evening pajamas, tiered skirts, airy dresses, weightless gowns, and variations of the Chanel 25 handbag.

Chanel Cruise 2026 Collection Review

Read below the reactions of theFashionSpot’s forum members:

“Better than the Marseille disaster from last year. At least there’s no hoodie dress in sight.” [FashionPower]

“The location saves this collection, I think. Dare I say better than what we’ve seen for the past 2-3 seasons for sure.” [proseccotabis]

“It’s inoffensively bland. And that’s okay. Many steps up from what we’ve been suffering through for seasons now, and a god send of a collection after that Marseille disaster.” [Cocteau Stone]

“An inoffensive moment indeed. Still the best collection by the studio and also probably better than some of the Virginie’s stuff.” [Lola701]

“Although Matthieu’s debut is in September, it feels like he already had his hands on it. There is an easiness, a simplicity, and relaxation that contrasts with the heaviness from previous offerings, but also some ‘daring’ cuts for such a conservative brand.” [Monsieur Cristobal]

“Some pieces look dated but there are a few nice looks. The collection definitely looks lighter and sexier.” [MModa]

Chanel is just like any other fashion house on the planet and is regularly adding to its never-ending list of brand ambassadors. Chanel adds Kendrick Lamar to their roster of ambassadors, who makes his official debut as the face of the fabled French fashion house in the Chanel Eyewear campaign for the Spring/Summer 2025 season. The Grammy Award-winning American rapper joins Lupita Nyong’o, Margaret Qualley, and Nana Komatsu in the latest Chanel campaign offering. As the fashion pack awaits the debut of Matthieu Blazy, the powers that be at Chanel HQ called upon Karim Sadli to capture the ambassadors. In true Karim Sadli fashion, the cast pose against a simple, clean, and classic white studio backdrop – giving the frames (which revisit all the classic Chanel codes) the spotlight.

Read below the reactions of theFashionSpot’s forum members:

“Kendrick Lamar is perfect for Chanel. A bit bittersweet for Virginie Viard as she brought him to the house. I can’t wait to see him in Blazy’s designs. Kendrick photographs well!” admired Lola701 upon first look.

“Margaret Qualley, my beloved, and my goat Kendrick – what a time to be alive!” forum member 99 Percent Polyester exclaimed.

Melancholybaby commented: “Lupita is glowing. She’s absolutely stunning!”

“Wow Lupita. I am speechless,” declared GivenchyAddict.

“You couldn’t make me dislike a Chanel campaign photographed by Karim Sadli. It all just works so wonderfully well, and the subjects always look fantastic via Kadli’s lens. No fan of Kendrick Lamar, but I’m loving this. Lupita Nyong’o looks stunning, and the smile of Margaret Qualley gives me life,” raved vogue28.

We are forced to endure Chioma Nnadi as British Vogue‘s head of editorial content for another month. To say we’ve been underwhelmed by Nnadi heading up the British fashion bible would be an understatement. Covers starring A-list talent (including everyone from Zendaya to Sophie Turner and Kylier Jenner to Tyla) have flopped. Up next on the cover of British Vogue for May 2025 is Billie Eilish. Four years after Edward Enninful gave the American musician a Vogue makeover, Billie is back on the cover of the magazine and poses for Johnny Dufort across a twosome of covers. Captured on location within the Californian wilderness, Taylor McNeill styled the Grammy Award-winning artist. Billie sports a mashup of Willy Chavarria, Chanel, Martine Rose, A Bathing Ape, and Erl within the two Johnny Dufort-shot cover images.

Billie Eilish for British Vogue May 2025

Read below the reactions of theFashionSpot’s forum members:

“Horrible, cheap, and amateurish. The cover with the giant leg looks like something trying to emulate Tim Walker. Obviously, unsuccessfully,” critiqued DK92.

“How low can it go?” asked prylvi.

“The current team has no clue what makes a successful magazine cover, and these are proof,” chimed in forum member MModa.

Kite most definitely wasn’t a fan either. “Beyond awful,” they described upon checking out the covers.

“Rancid. Nothing was ever going to compare to the hype of the June 2021 cover. Here, the team didn’t even attempt to create something… decent. What an absolute eyesore. The styling is abysmal, and the photography from Johnny Dufort is hideous (unsurprisingly),” voiced vogue28.

“I have tried to find something to appreciate but I just can’t get into it. I can’t believe this is for Vogue,” added Kenny.

The covers of American ELLE just don’t hit like they once did. After all, not even covers starring the likes of Lady Gaga, Kylie Jenner, Lisa (of Blackpink), HoYeon Jung, Anya Taylor-Joy, or Zoë Kravitz have managed to impress over recent months. This month, Nina Garcia (who has served as editor-in-chief since 2017) welcomes Daisy Edgar-Jones onto the cover of ELLE for April 2025. The English actress makes her ELLE cover debut via the lens of photographer Dan Martensen. Daisy gazes down Martensen’s lens in the cover photograph, captured lying on a bed and wearing a Cou Cou Intimates top and a cape from the Chanel Spring 2025 collection (as selected for the occasion by cover shoot stylist Clare Richardson).

Daisy Edgar-Jones for ELLE April 2025

Read below the reactions of theFashionSpot’s forum members:

“So many covers for April have been a strange set of choices – I don’t necessarily mean the person, but the actual shot that’s been chosen,” commented tigerrouge.

“Did they change the water supply in their office? ELLE‘s recent covers have declined in quality this year,” chimed in crmsn.

“Not a great cover. Too dark. Who chose this?” asked forum member rockmuse1969.

Vogue28 wasn’t exactly thrilled with the end result either. “Nina Garcia’s ELLE has fallen (extremely) short over recent months – this cover included. Not quite sure who to blame but everything has just been a complete non-event, and a far cry from what the magazine has delivered previously. The spark and excitement has completely evaporated for me, personally,” he voiced.

“Too dreamy for my taste. This magazine needs to take a few steps towards becoming more commercial again,” matheus_s pointed out.

We’ve made no attempt to hide our feelings toward Vogue Germany of late. After all, the magazine is now a shadow of its former self. Currently installed at the top job within the German fashion title is Kestin Weng, who over recent months has invited Emilia Schüle, Emma Corrin, Heike Makatsch, Sandra Hüller, and Devyn Garcia as cover stars. Weng, who has served as head of editorial content since 2021, welcomes Tilda Swinton onto the cover of Vogue Germany for April 2025. Photographed outside the Boros Collection museum in Berlin, the British actress poses for photographer Roman Goebel. Swinton, a Chanel brand ambassador, is dressed by stylist Jerry Stafford for the occasion in a look from the Chanel Haute Couture Spring 2025 collection.

Tilda Swinton for Vogue Germany April 2025

Read below the reactions of theFashionSpot’s forum members:

“This edition deserves to be killed,” voiced Avonlea upon first look.

“Vogue Germany needs to change direction in terms of photography, casting, and design. It is not looking very good,” noted forum members MModa.

“Burn it,” declared marsnoop2.

Also far from overjoyed over German Vogue‘s latest was jjjmmm. “You really have to be mediocre to make even Tilda Swinton look tacky and cheap,” they pointed out.

“Dreadful. They got Tilda, and this is what they decided to do? They had all the tools,” shrieked an unforgiving jeremydante.

Forum member jal718 described the cover as “horrific” but do you agree?
