# Celebs For Environment Vanity Fair's Green Issue with Madonna By mediterranean | Published 2008-03-27 | Eco Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/vf-green-issue-madonna References: [community.livejournal](http://community.livejournal.com/ohnotheydidnt/21888547.html) In the last few years, **Vanity Fair** has been teaming up with popular icons and entertainment stars in a special **Green Issue** that aims to raise the public awareness of important environmental issues. For its 2008 Green Issue, Vanity Fair has teamed up with the Queen of Pop herself. **Madonna** is seen on the upcoming issue's cover in a shoot by photographer *Steven Meisel*. That's the same guy who shot Madonna's infamous *Sex* book back in the '90s. In a smart reference to her current hit song with Justin Timberlake, "4 minutes (To Save The World)," Madonna is seen protectively holding a globe of our earth and trying to save the world. How does she do it? Well, do not wear pants >> less laundry >> save the environment >> save the world. Genius! Recent Green Issue covers include Leonardo DiCaprio in 2007 and Julia Roberts with George Clooney, Robert F. Kennedy and Al Gore in 2006. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.5/10 - Popularity: 76% | Activity: 51% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 30% men, 70% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Eco](https://www.trendhunter.com/eco) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Collaboration with Celebrities:** Collaborating with popular icons and entertainment stars for environmental campaigns can raise public awareness and motivate action. - **Green Issue Publications:** Creating special editions dedicated to environmental issues can help spread awareness and engage readers. - **Visual Storytelling for Sustainability:** Using visually compelling images and symbolism can effectively convey environmental messages and inspire change. ### Where This Applies - **Publishing:** Publishing companies can leverage collaborations with celebrities to create special editions that address environmental issues and attract a wider audience. - **Entertainment:** Entertainment industry can utilize popular icons to raise awareness about environmental issues through various creative mediums. - **Fashion:** Fashion industry can incorporate sustainability themes in their campaigns and products by collaborating with celebrities who advocate for environmental conservation. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Sustainable Denim Brand Collabs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/amber-valletta-x-triarchy.md) - [Eco-Friendly Indian Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/latin-quarters.md) - [Voting-Themed Fashion Ads](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/youve-got-the-power.md) - [Sustainable Indie Album Releases](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/moon-music.md) - [Botanically Inspired Fashion Lines](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/burberry-x-highgrove.md) - [Eco-Friendly Retail Pop-Ups](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/stella-mccartney-pop-up.md) - [Eco-Conscious Puzzle Games](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kwalee.md) - [Eco-Friendly Luxury Dresses](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/luxury-dresses.md) - [Iconic Touring Artist Makeup](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/madonnas-makeup.md)
