The November 2023 cover of Vogue China starring Shalom Harlow proved to be somewhat of a major setback for the magazine. The Chinese fashion bible could perhaps be returning to full form with the unveiling of its December 2023 installment, however. To close out the year, editor Margaret Zhang is shining a spotlight on the power of craftsmanship and the art of fashion. To add to the sense of celebration, Zhang welcomes the next generation for Chinese models onto a series of commemorative covers, with Sherry Shi, Mengyao Wang, Huijia Chen and Hejia Li becoming cover girls in the process.

Photographed by Felix Cooper and styled by Alvin Yu, the girls pose on the main group cover (below) while venture out on their lonesome for their respective solo covers (after the jump).

Ultimately, Chinese Vogue‘s latest divided members of our forums in their opinions. “Worst Vogue China cover this year,” declared Hafyiez wafa at once.

In complete agreement was crmsn, echoing: “This is their worst cover this year for sure!”

“How dreadful,” shrieked an unimpressed lanvinray.

“Too much empty space for my liking! The cropping of the photograph and the composition of the cover as a whole leaves a lot to be desired. What a crying shame to end the year with such a sad, sterile and lifeless cover,” chimed in vogue28.

In the eyes of our forum members, things started to slightly improve once the solo covers dropped. “So much better than the first cover,” voiced callmejaeden.

“The individual covers are a lot better,” Urban Stylin noted.
