Vogue印度版批评肯德尔詹纳封面

 

This is What’s Trending Today:

India’s version of the fashion magazine Vogue¹ is celebrating its 10th anniversary this year.

The magazine released its anniversary cover on social media this week. American model and television star Kendall Jenner is pictured in a black dress. Peruvian fashion photographer Mario Testino took the photograph at Samode Palace in Jaipur, Rajasthan.

Jenner became famous for her part in the reality television show “Keeping Up with the Kardashians.” In her modeling career, she has appeared on magazine covers and walked on runways around the world.

She is one of the most popular celebrities² on Instagram, with 80 million followers³.

However, people on Instagram are not happy about Vogue India’s latest cover. Many said they wished the magazine would have chosen an Indian woman for its 10th anniversary cover -- and not an American celebrity⁴.

A debate about the cover is trending on social media.

One person wrote on Vogue India’s Instagram, “What’s the point of Vogue India if you’re not even [going to] celebrate Indian people?”

Another said, “Looks like there are not enough Indian models to celebrate your anniversary.”

Fans of Vogue India’s Facebook page wrote that Indian actresses Priyanka Chopra or Deepika Padukone would have been better a better choice than Jenner.

Indian actor Sushant Singh Rajput appears with Jenner in some of the photographs inside the magazine. But, some say, that is not enough.

Twitter user Nikita Rajani wrote, “No matter how obsessed⁵ I am with Vogue India and Kendall Jenner, I’m equally disappointed with their decision of putting her on the cover.”
