"ELLE as a magazine has always been empathetic of the current climate. We took the informed decision to not carry our planned cover shoot. It just wouldn’t be right—and it wouldn’t be fair on our readers especially when our world is at the edge of a breakdown. Instead, we worked with three exceptional artists to create imagery that would be symbiotic of world view right now."

"We asked the acclaimed Franco-German artist @keratill to interpret her idea of social distancing. “For me, India is all about colour. I tried to visualise social distancing without making it scary or dark, and because it is still about connection, I used the dashed lines,” says Kera. Read more about our collaboration with @KeraTill via link in bio."
