ICYMI: Vogue received a helluva lot of backlash online after their August cover ft. Gigi Hadid and Zayn Malik hit the stands on Thursday last week.
Their feature story, titled, “Gigi Hadid and Zayn Malik Are Part of a New Generation Embracing Gender Fluidity” caused a lot of heat as it focused mainly on the fact that gender fluidity to Gigi and Zayn (whom have never spoken out about being fluid) means swapping clothes occasionally. Yikes.
AVogue spokeswoman issued the following statement to Fashionista.com:
The story was intended to highlight the impact the gender-fluid, non-binary communities have had on fashion and culture. We are very sorry the story did not correctly reflect the spirit — we missed the mark. We do look forward to continuing the conversation with greater sensitivity.
So, that’s that we guess…
Neither Gigi or Zayn have yet to speak out about their involvement on the controversial cover, but they have shared a bunch of photos of themselves on social media from the shoot…
