A wise woman once said, “We’re all born naked and the rest is drag.” With the spring 2025 collections allowing women everywhere to explore all facets of their being, V invited ten timeless beauties, both familiar and first encounters, to come as they are and allow themselves to transform—proving that our door will always be open for new classics to shine through.

Below, we asked each cover girl about timelessness, beautiful people, and the idea of perfection.

V MAGAZINE: What do you consider to be timeless?

ALEX CONSANI: In terms of clothing: something you truly enjoy, you can always look back and say it was authentic to yourself at that time. 

V: What was the spark that first made you want to be a model?

AC: [I wanted to become a model] after seeing the art and creativity that went into creating a collection inspired me to be a part of the community—among other reasons! 

V: If you could only choose one item in your closet, what would you say is your most precious heirloom?

AC: Anything given to me from my grandma. 

V: What everlasting fashion history moment/memory burns the brightest in your mind?

AC: Any Lee McQueen show. It was so ahead of its time and the creativity that went into creating those pieces still astonishes me. 

V: In the fast paced world of fashion, what is one thing you think will always be in demand (regardless of trends)?

AC: Respect!

V: What makes a person beautiful?

AC: The way they treat others. Physical beauty only goes as far as the person wearing it.

V: Who do you consider to be the most beautiful person you know or admire?

AC: My grandmother—among other women in my life—had such an effortless sense of confidence, in terms of style. It was what made her feel comfortable and you could tell when you saw her smile. 

V: Do you put much thought into creating the “perfect” look when getting dressed for the day? What do you feel most beautiful in?

AC: I think the perfect look only exists when you feel confident in it. Thus, wearing something that you like—whether that’s the way it fits, the patterns on it, or the brand that made it—makes the biggest difference. Those outfits make me feel the most beautiful because they have all the elements I like, but it’s not overly planned so I truly feel … effortless.
