In the latest issue of British Vogue, under the supervision of Edward Enninful, the former editor-in-chief was not satisfied with one star on the cover of the magazine, but wanted 40 international stars.
The Ghanaian fashion editor resigned unexpectedly in June, more than six years after assuming his position.
Its final cover brings together models, major Hollywood stars, pop icons, and other fashionistas he has worked with, such as Naomi Campbell, Cindy Crawford, Miley Cyrus, Linda Evangelista, Jane Fonda, Dua Lipa, Kate Moss, and Serena Williams.
The forty women of Manhattan are photographed by Steven Meisel (for the cover) and Ned Rogers (for the inside pages).
They all traveled from London, Paris, Milan, Los Angeles, and elsewhere to be part of this historic work, Enninful said.
He said: “When it came to my latest issue, I knew the cover would be dedicated to women! Women have been making up British Vogue for nearly 108 years, and they have certainly had a huge influence during my six-year tenure here, not to mention managing and mentoring me throughout my life.” “In its entirety.”
He added: “It was clear to all of us on the team that no woman could, or should, encapsulate these past few years for the magazine. We needed a group, drawing on collective strength, to bring to life what I hope will be a bold, subversive and evolutionary period in Vogue’s history.”
His tenure witnessed many historic events, such as the hiring of dark-skinned photographers, such as Misan Harriman and Kennedy Carter, who photographed the cover topics in 2020, in addition to publishing 5 other covers starring disabled activists, models, and creatives for the May 2023 issue. .
Enninful also eschewed the industry’s age standards with its 2019 release, intended for women over 50.
About Enninful’s latest issue, 55-year-old Christy Turlington, one of 40 cover stars, said: “We’re getting better at celebrating women of all ages.”
In 2022, there were rumors that Enninful would be next in line for the highest position at American Vogue. But he told CNN’s Christiane Amanpour at the time that he “didn’t want” Anna Wintour’s role, and she wasn’t stepping down anytime soon.
He will now take up a consulting position at Condé Nast, a move he previously said gives him “the freedom to take on broader creative projects.”
Meanwhile, Chioma Nnadi, former digital editor of American Vogue, will take over as president of British Vogue, making her the first black woman to be appointed to this position.
Enninful explained that Nnadi is “an amazing and unique talent with a true vision, who will take publishing to greater levels than ever before.”
