Rocco Liu is establishing his creative vision as the editorial director of Vogue China, following the departure of Margaret Zhang earlier this year. Previously associated with GQ China, Liu has made significant strides since taking on this prestigious role. He recently featured actress Liu Yifei as a cover star and honored various Chinese talents with the magazine’s last cover. For the November 2024 issue, tennis sensation Zheng QinWen graces the cover, marking a milestone as the first athlete to achieve this honor in the magazine’s nearly two-decade history. Zheng, who clinched a gold medal in women’s singles at the 2024 Paris Olympics, is captured by the lens of photographer Wang Ziqian, showcasing her athletic prowess and elegance.

“I like the third cover,” expressed Kimy Jo, showing appreciation for the artistic direction taken in the latest issue.

“Me too,” chimed in vogue28. “One of my biggest frustrations is when magazine editors can’t choose a single striking cover image, leading to a dull collection of options. The third cover here stands out beautifully; it’s powerful, the color palette is stunning, and it evokes a nostalgic vibe reminiscent of Patrick Demarchelier’s work!”

“To be honest, these covers feel somewhat generic, especially for Vogue China,” commented Urban Stylin, reflecting a desire for more innovation in the magazine’s visual storytelling.

“Nothing particularly exciting here. However, I appreciate that Vogue China continues to showcase and honor its rich culture,” remarked jeremydante, highlighting the magazine’s commitment to cultural representation.
