US Vogue\u2019s Olympic-Themed June 2012 Issue<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

As any of our readers will know by now, Talent Management is a big advocate of model diversity<\/a>. That\u2019s why, when we clapped eyes US Vogue\u2019s June cover, we were happy to see a body type not often seen on a fashion magazine \u2013 athletic.<\/p>\n

America\u2019s Olympic hopefuls, football player Hope Solo, swimmer Ryan Lochte and tennis legend Serena Williams, are all captured mid-run in swimwear for the Olympic-themed issue, and their healthy, muscular bodies provide an inspirational change to the typically skinny models we\u2019re used to seeing in Vogue.
\n
\nFurthermore, the fact that there\u2019s a male on the cover is also somewhat refreshing. This appears to be only the fourth time that\u2019s ever happened on US Vogue, with previous males including Richard Gere, George Clooney and LeBron James.<\/p>\n

But, as excited as the team at the agency are to see someone other than a high fashion model or actress cover Vogue, not everyone was impressed.<\/p>\n

When the Fashion Spot<\/a> posted a picture of the Annie Leibovitz-shot cover, it swiftly drew in some conflicting opinions in the forum.<\/p>\n

One male commenter wrote: \u201cOMG please no! Vogue is not Men’s Health!\u201d, while another wrote: \u201cI love the cover. Looks very fresh!!! It’s a nice to take a break from celebs and give the attention to athletes.\u201d<\/p>\n

Let Talent Management know what you think of the athletic bodies on Vogue \u2013 are they inspirational and refreshing, or inappropriate and a little wholesome for high fashion?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
