‘Such adept cover stars’: why dogs are taking over fashion in the ‘AI face’ era

Dogs, exemplified by Sansa Martínez Berlingeri on the cover of Dogue, are increasingly featured as fashion cover stars, providing a refreshing alternative to human celebrities. This trend is particularly evident in the September issues, where Dogue's canine-led cover received widespread acclaim compared to the scrutinized British and US Vogue covers featuring Nicole Kidman and "nepo babies." The article suggests that these 'egoless' canines offer a welcome break from the current cultural landscape dominated by 'nepo babies' and a certain 'Maga lady aesthetic,' highlighting a shift in fashion's preference for authentic and universally appealing figures in the 'AI face' era.
