Love editor Katie Grand:
“For this issue of LOVE, we took eight women who are generally acknowledged as the most beautiful in the world, got them to show off their bodies — widely regarded as the most perfect in the world — and photographed them all in exactly the same position for the cover,” LOVE’s editor-in-chief Katie Grand told VOGUE.COM. “We did this to show how much they differed physically from one another, which is why we also printed their measurements.”
Just for kicks, I layered all 8 covers featuring Lara Stone, Janeil Williams, Kristen McMenamy, Daria Werbowy, Amber Valletta, Natalia Vodianova, Naomi Campbell, and Kate Moss. Do you see much body diversity?
I adore Love, but perhaps Grand should zip it on matters of diversity in the modeling world.
PS – Fashionista picked up my image :-)

Ha. Maybe she meant body diversity in the sense that their bodies have cells which are made up of DNA which is diverse from model to model?
Diversity in self tanner perhaps?
If they tell us it’s a horse, it must be a horse. Sigh.
“We did this to prove just how much they differed physically from one another”…and you just proved them wrong.
Love what you did here.
Mad props, Penny.
No props to LOVE magazine on this one. Moddle diversity: Ur doin it rong.
