Hits and Misses: Magazine Covers of March 2024
The March issues are basically the spring version of the all-important September issues. Fashion is high on the agenda as our fave glossies immerse us in the new spring season – and this year was certainly no different. Magazines like M Le Magazine du Monde and D la Repubblica went all out with their spring fashion extravaganzas, with the latter bestowing upon us a whopping 21 covers featuring 21 of the modeling industry’s finest from DNA Models. Supermodels have reigned supreme throughout March, with Naomi Campbell (on more than one occasion), Claudia Schiffer, Christy Turlington, Kate Moss all having made appearances. Elsewhere down at the newsstand, Edward Enninful presented his swan song as editor-in-chief of British Vogue, who tapped 40 Vogue icons to pose for Steven Meisel. This month also saw the long-awaited launch of Vogue Adria.
Scroll further to see which March 2024 covers made the cut (and which did not) this month, all in accordance to theFashionSpot’s unfiltered forum members:

“I really like it! I think it’s quite striking and impressive to get all those people together.” [LastNight]
MISS | UK ELLE with Naomi Campbell by Quil Lemons
“Yikes. What a stain on her impressive portfolio. That styling is what hurts me most. Even the most boring of photographs can usually be saved by great styling, but this is atrocious.” [aracic]
HIT | Harper’s Bazaar France with Kate Moss by Robin Galiegue
“Amazing cover. The religious iconography, the regal punk pose, the color palette. It’s wonderful.” [signifier]
MISS | Vogue Mexico with Christy Turlington by Inez van Lamsweerde & Vinoodh Matadin

HIT | Vogue Greece with Adèle Exarchopoulos by Alvaro Beamud Cortes
“The simplicity of the first cover is what appeals to me most here. I’m always down for just a straight-up and direct studio-shot cover image. Adèle looks gorgeous with this styling, love the coloring of the image, the pose, the tilted head, the sense of retro… every last element, basically!” [vogue28]

“So good to see Claudia Schiffer on a cover again!” [liberty33r1b]
MISS | Harper’s Bazaar with Solange Knowles by Larissa Hoffman

HIT | M Le Magazine du Monde with Mona Tougaard by Mert Alas & Marcus Piggott
