Cass Bird's Studio Images with Rianne Van Rompaey for Harper's Bazaar US May 2021

Cass Bird's Studio Images with Rianne Van Rompaey for Harper's Bazaar US May 2021

Top model Rianne Van Rompaey is styled by Samira Nasr in a crisp, modern fashion statement lensed by Cass Bird for Harper’s Bazaar US May 2021.

Rianne shared her thoughts on beauty with Jenna Rosenstein, and the top model had quite a lot to say. Speaking about growing up in the Netherlands, the model stressed that people are reserved, and it’s better to fit in.

Being online a lot as a teenager gave Van Rompaey a different view of pop culture — and especially in America.

I think it’s so beautiful how different everybody looks. I wish people could celebrate that.

I thought, “Wow, there are actually people out there who are completely, unapologetically themselves and are not trying to fit in.” I think that’s true of American pop culture: You’re allowed to be seen, and you’re allowed to be loud. To me, that was very liberating because I am quite loud.

Vulnerability attracts her, especially among women. To the model, it makes women beautiful. Every kind of emotion attracts Rianne — even anger — as long as the expression is authentic.

Binx Walton in Deserted New York by Craig McDean for Vogue UK April 2021

Top model Binx Walton poses in the deserted streets of New York in austere images that channel post-WWII Britain. British Vogue EIC Edward Enninful reflects that the Craig McDean [IG] fashion story in the April 2021 issue captures the spirit of the moment, in images that remind Enninful of Norman Parkinson, “when he photographed Bath’s empty streets for British Vogue in 1948.”

Legendary photographer Steven Meisel delivers another fashion-lover’s, heart-racing set of visuals with his new Zara Women Spring Summer 2021 Campaign. The Green team will be thrilled, as the Meisel crew is again working remotely and not spewing carbon and jet fuel all over the planet.

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.
