 Vogue has all kinds of special issues…The Age Issue, The Beauty Issue, The Fashion Issue…

For April 2008 they give us…The Shape Issue.

Annie Leibovitz photographed the world’s biggest athletes together with the world’s biggest supermodels. Weird combination? Well…not really since one thing plays an important role for both sides: Their body.

“What sports teaches you is not only respect for your body but that you have to be aware of your body, that you have to work with other people,” says Gisele Bundchen, who is on the cover with basketball player Lebron James. Gisele used to be a volleyball player in high school and is now dating Patriots quarterback Tom Brady so sports seem to play an important role in her life;)

Katoucha Naine

After a month of being missing, the body of Katoucha Naine was found in the Reine river on February the 29th. The first internationally known African super model, Katoucha paved the way for models of African descent. Known as the Peul Princess she was both a face of the Yves Saint Lauren brand and muse to the designer himself. Later she quit modeling to become an activist amd wrote a book describing her childhood trauma to spread awareness.

“He loved her enormously,” said Dominique Deroche, head of PR at the fashion house. “She was exactly like an Yves Saint-Laurent drawing, a proud head on a long neck, very slim but with strong shoulders, made for haute couture. She looked magnificent on the catwalk and often wore very powerful outfits like a Cubist navy-blue dress with doves around the neckline.”
