2. We went rogue and didn’t tell our bosses that we were planning this collage cover! They knew we were changing tack and not shooting an action sports athlete, but they didn’t quite know what we had in mind. Anyone who’s ever worked in magazines will know covers need to get approval from a zillion people from directors to marketing folk to the guy from DHL who happens to walk past delivering an Amazon package for someone… We (our designer Kirsty Fletcher, fashion editor Britta and me) had a vision and we didn’t want it tampered with so Kirsty designed it super late in the day and by the time the grown ups saw it, it was too late to change. Fortunately they liked it, for the most part anyway!
