Vogue France August 2025 Goes into the Wilderness Where Bikinis Rule. Say what?

We meet models Jessie Aina, Mia Armstrong and Paula Soares ‘Sur La Route’ to somewhere important. It seems like a good moment to say that Vogue France [IG] has improved infinitely in 2025 under the direction of Claire Thomson-Jonville [IG].

It’s one of the most visually-obvious media transformations in years, and she deserves praise for her efforts, her instincts, and her outreach. I’m sure she didn’t accomplish this change flying solo — but Thomson-Jonville is the hub of the wheel.
