On the cover of the androgyny issue, Kate Moss and Lea T are captured in the middle of an impassioned kiss while a tag line on the left bottom of the cover announces: “This is Hard Core.â€
The cover (which will be out in the market on February 8) was shot by famed fashion photography duo Mert Alas and Marcus Piggott.
Implications - The transgender model on the cover of the magazine is a bold move. She is definitely the perfect choice for the cover of the magazine and signifies a very modern take on attractiveness.
