British Vogue April 2021 Commits to Fashion Joy in Enninful-Meisel Cover Collab

British Vogue Editor in Chief Edward Enninful shares his thoughts on the April covers — each dedicated to an expression of JOY! Edward speaks with great clarity on this topic of joy, citing it as a basic human need but also one that might seen “somehow inappropriate” in these “dark days”.

On a mission to promote the “audacious power of joy”, Enninful reached out to legendary photographer Steven Meisel, suggesting that spring was coming and they needed to pull out all the stops on the April British Vogue covers — four of them.

The two creatives decided to go one step further and celebrate “Black joy – in the wake of so much recent reckoning.” The final result is these four vibrant British Vogue covers featuring Acherin Madit, Janaye Furman, Mona Tougaard and Precious Lee.

For the first time in history — (hard to believe) — Carlyne Cerf de Dudzeele, now in her seventies, styled a British Vogue cover story. It’s a fact that the fashion editor is the perfect person to call if the goal is to focus on joyful designers and styling.

Photographer Craig McDean captures Jolie and her six children at her historic Los Angeles estate tucked away in the historic Laughlin Park quiet corner of Los Feliz and formerly owned by Hollywood legend Cecil B. DeMille. The home is just five minutes away from the children’s father Brad Pitt.

Angelina Jolie on Mothering

Confirming that while she wanted to have a brood of kids, Jolie shares that she always saw herself as the Jane Goodall type, “travelling in the middle of the jungle somewhere.” She is not an inherently skilled mother — depending on one’s criteria, of course.

I feel like we’re such a team. It may sound clichéd, but you love and you try, and even if you burn the eggs, that doesn’t matter in the end. But also, you’ve met our kids. They’re pretty capable.
