“There’s no reason why Kim Kardashian shouldn’t be on the cover of Vogue,” fiancé Kanye West said a short while ago, confirming reports that Anna Wintour, Editor-in-Chief at the publication, didn’t want her because of the way she’d attained worldwide fame. Well, Kanye is yet to give up on the idea.

He’s still putting pressure on Wintour to agree to put the reality star on the cover and has even talked to Mario Testino, a longtime Wintour collaborator, to shoot her.

As of now, Radar Online says citing sources well familiar with the situation, Wintour isn’t budging but Kanye is convinced she will. In time, she will – and then, Kim will become the reigning queen of fashion, having just received the biggest accreditation there is with the Vogue cover.

“[Wintour and Kardashian] were at Kanye’s concert in Brooklyn on Tuesday night. Anna didn’t sit next to Kim in the VIP section, and brought along fellow Vogue staffer, Grace Coddington. Kanye is absolutely determined to convince Anna that Kim should appear on the cover of Vogue wearing her wedding dress. Anna has remained typically aloof to Kanye’s constant advances and offers,” an insider says for the tab.

“Kanye has also enlisted famed photographer, Mario Testino, a favorite of Anna’s, to get Kim on the cover. Kim went to Mario’s Alto Modo event in New York City on Monday night. She worships the ground Mario walks on, and trusts his eye. The couple will likely tap Mario to photograph their wedding,” the tipster shares.

So yes, Testino will use a photo of Kim in her wedding gown to pitch the idea to Wintour who, in turn, won’t be able to say no.

Landing on the cover of the US Vogue is a pretty big thing, especially since Wintour is not in the habit of putting all kinds of celebrities there. Besides Kardashian, whom Wintour can’t stand for the way she shot to worldwide fame and because she’s a reality star, Victoria Beckham is another snubbed celebrity who never got a cover, despite her most honest efforts.

However, Posh didn’t dwell on it: instead, she worked hard and is now a name in fashion on her own, having built a career as a designer almost from scratch.
