VOGUE APRIL ISSUE- BLACK JOY
British Vogue. What an elevation. I always wonder if the new found admiration and… satisfaction? I have in this magazine since the appointment of Edward Enninful will dissipate with the next issue but so far, its all good.

Forces of Change- Vogue
“It’s Vogue ok, please let’s… lift it.” This remains one of the most memorable quotes from The September Issue during an interaction between Anna Wintour and Edward Enninful. The phrase encapsulates her entire thoughts on Vogue and its role in larger society. And for a long time this was how I felt about British Vogue…
