A new generation of supermodels is here. They are taking over the world’s runways, serving looks on magazine covers, and becoming industry muses. These models are present both physically and digitally in today’s world. With summer just around the corner, they prepare for some well-deserved rest and relaxation—even in the face of COVID-19.

Our next picturesque cover star is Vivienne Rohner. If she’s not walking for top designers such as Salvatore Ferragamo, she’s fronting campaigns for fashion houses such as Mugler. Vivienne is lensed by photographers Inez and Vinoodh and styled by George Cortina for the cover of V125. V talked with Vivienne about what she’s currently reading, hidden talents, and what it’s been like practicing social distance.
