Put on a Chic face

I always check the cover of every fashion magazine in Spain. It's a habit. I usually just talk about Vogue, because it's the main one.

She had an amazing season in NY, Milan, Paris,... yet she doesn't get credit for it. It's very frustrating for someone like me. And now she has "fans...
