Vogue Japan may not hold the same status it once did, but the Japanese fashion bible remains relevant. In 2025, covers featuring Lulu Tenney, Amelia Gray, Kiko Mizuhara, Anna Sawai, Alex Consani, Lila Moss, and Rina Sawayama have captured our attention for various reasons. The January 2026 issue of Vogue Japan will feature Chloe Oh on its cover. As Tiffany Godoy steps down from her role as head of editorial content, the editor has tasked Fumiko Imano with profiling the South Korean model. The cover photograph showcases the industry favorite styled by Yoko Miyake at contemporary artist Mori Mariko’s atelier in Miyakojima, Japan.

Read below the reactions of theFashionSpot’s forum members:
“If this will be the new creative direction of the magazine following Godoy’s exit, I’m not a fan,” expressed callmejaeden after viewing the cover.
“2026 is off to an abysmal start,” lamented marsnoop2.
“Vogue Taiwan 2016, is that you?” questioned Bertrando3. “AWFUL!”
Also unimpressed was forum member Ihhbl. “I really dislike it. The hair and makeup look awful, and she’s looking expressionless,” they critiqued.
“I actually like the dress. That’s about it,” remarked Linh Bui.
“I just find the cover very different and fresh,” admitted MModa.
“Fun and graphic,” praised forum member jeremydante.
