"In the 80s, Fashion created a fantasy around the American girl––Athletic, toned, smiling, happy, gracious, and perfect. For me, no model was more iconic than Christie Brinkley––with her white teeth and blonde hair––and her image was so compelling that it set a new beauty standard. Now suddenly in 2016, we see the comeback of the American girl, and I find myself so excited by this new generation of stars. My dream for this issue was to play with pop culture ideas of the American girl to create something brand-new. It is my interpretation of the American melting pot–beautiful and diverse." – CARINE ROITFELD

We’ve been given a sneak peak from CR Fashion Book with the 4 alternate covers of the issue. New faces Kayla Scott and Bentley Mescall grace two of the covers, rising model Staz Lindes graces another, and the model-of-the-moment Gigi Hadid appears on the last – this is Gigi’s second CR cover.
