“Beverly Johnson was an aspiring 21-year-old model when she received the news that editor-in-chief Grace Mirabella was putting her on the cover of Vogue.”

So does that mean she was an unknown before her cover? I didn’t know that!

I prefer Naomi’s cover just because it’s more fun

But we all know the most important cover was Tyra Banks being the first black woman to have a solo SI Swimsuit Cover

and Tyra will not let us forget it.

no she was a very steadily working model before her vogue cover, she left her agency b/c she told them she wanted the cover of vogue and they were like "That will never happen", she left and then got it!

That last picture of Johnson makes me want to apologise for things I haven't even done yet.

Wintour has been around for that long??

Yep. That's why everyone is sick of her

Beverly Johnson has a really cool Vogue video talking about her cover too :)
