Special issues and supplements

Controversy
The cover photography of the first issue caused controversy in Poland as the photographer, Jürgen Teller, featured Rubik and Bela standing next to a vintage Soviet-produced Volga GAZ-24 car and with Warsaw's Palace of Culture and Science in the background. In Poland, this car and this building are perceived as symbols of Stalinism and the communist oppression, which raised questions about the political and ideological profile of the magazine and the aesthetics it was going to promote.{{Cite news|url=http://www.calvertjournal.com/features/show/9656/vogue-poland-jurgen-teller|title=Vogue Poland: why the iconic magazine’s first Polish cover has proven so controversial|work=The Calvert Journal|access-date=19 May 2018|language=en}}
