Candice, Irina, Joan in 'Human After All' by Rowan Papier for Vogue Greece December 2020

Candice, Irina, Joan in 'Human After All' by Rowan Papier for Vogue Greece December 2020

Three of the world’s top models — Candice Swanepoel, Irina Shayk and Joan Smalls cover four December 2020 covers for Vogue Greece, each with the tagline ‘Human After All’. Anna Katsanis styles the covers and editorial content in which pays the three women speak about the value of activism, urging us to look beyond the images — in this case captured by Rowan Papier (IG).

Clearly in our new COVID-19 world and its worldwide protests around sustainability and racial justice, a Vogue editorial reset was playing out at the beginning of 2020. But Greece had already endured a decade of austerity, prompting Karafyllidou to tell Vogue Australia in April 2019: “ . . . We are bringing the Vogue brand back to the country in a new era where ‘luxury’ has been redefined. It’s not just about a beautiful pair of shoes or a handbag – now ‘luxury’ is your free time and the time that you spend offline.”
