Vogue Cover

George was by photographer Grant Good who sent test shots of her to Vogue Australia editor Nancy Pilcher. Pilcher then decided to put George on the cover of the September 1993 issue of the magazine. According to former Vogue editor Kristie Clemins, the magazine received criticism for the fact that the already light-skinned George was blown out on the cover appearing to have even lighter skin then she had.
