Vogue Paris March 2013: Suvi Koponen

For the March issue of Vogue Paris, Emmanuelle Alt chose Suvi Koponen as her cover girl, a first for the burgeoning model who hails from Finland. Emmanuelle describes her "avant-garde issue" for us: "A radical is someone who dares to take risks, break down barriers and assume the responsibility of their actions. It means making no compromises. This issue of Vogue Paris flirts outrageously and deliberately with this idea." Outrageous and deliberate flirtation with risk?! Bring it, Emma! Mert Alas and Marcus Piggott photographed Koponen for the cover which calls to mind the portraits painted by the great Dutch masters. Other forward thinkers gracing the pages of the daring issue are David Bowie, Hubert de Givenchy, Jean de Loisy, Loris Gréaud, Ashish Gupta, Laurent Le Bon, Miuccia Prada, Michel Verjux, and Loko Yu. Vogue Paris March 2013 appears on newsstands beginning 22 February.
