Kim Kardashian Vogue India cover faces backlash

The 37-year-old mother-of-three unveiled one of two covers she shot for the March issue of Vogue India this week, sparking negative comments from readers who felt that a South-Asian talent should have been featured instead.

Kardashian is of Armenian descent.

This isn’t the first time the fashion magazine has faced backlash over choosing the famous family. Back in May 2017, Vogue India received similar criticism when they chose Kardashian’s younger sister Kendall Jenner to grace their cover. Vogue Indiaquickly released a statement defending Jenner’s casting at the time.

“In the last 10 years, Vogue India has had only 12 international covers, including Kendall Jenner in 2017,” they claimed. “Therefore, statistically, 90 per cent of our covers are Indian! And we are proud of that. India has given the world so many beautiful faces to admire. After all, we are Vogue, an international brand, and we want to give the love back by featuring some of the best international celebrities on our covers. Occasionally!”
