Vogue`s Kimye cover fails to impress as sales drop

London: Vogue's April cover featuring Kim Kardashian and Kanye West has failed to impress, with the magazine selling less than the ones that featured First Lady Michelle Obama and Beyonce on their cover.

Editor Anna Wintour's hoped that the controversial decision would bring in new sales for the April issue, hoping to push the numbers up to between 400,000 and 500,000 for the month, the Mirror reported.

However, now it is being estimated that the cover will only bring about sales of 250,000.

The 33-year-old reality star's cover, where she wore a strapless wedding dress, with fiance West's arms round her, had enraged fashionistas when the magazine came out.

Previous cover stars include Beyonce, whose issue sold 355,000 and Michelle Obama that sold 269,000 copies.
