Amber Valletta by Craig McDean in British Vogue's 'Women of the House'

In early 2020, supermodel Amber Valletta became British Vogue’s first Contributing Sustainability Editor. She recently left IMG, who represented her since 2015, moving to Society Management.

Valetta serves as an adviser to One x One, The Conscious Design Initiative in partnership with the U.N., is a board member of the FIT Foundation and is an FIT Sustainability Education Ambassador. The eco warrior’s new collab with the Karl Lagerfeld brand ‘Karl Lagerfeld x Amber Valletta’ is due out this month, but hasn’t arrived at the Karl Lagerfeld website. A sign-up notification is at the bottom of this page.

AOC has spent over 30 minutes trying our best to determine whether or not Valletta’s Dior-rich fashion story has any significant sustainability credentials. British Vogue’s April issue fashion story ‘Women of the House’ — an ode to lockdown house dresses — has none, but for considerable hand-crafted workmanship. If AOC is in error, shoot us a message and we’ll correct at once.. For now, we admit the rare research defeat and share Craig McDean’s [IG] images of Valleta in Dior with styling by Dena Gianni.

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

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.

Ashley Graham Talks Her Rules, Her Game for WSJ Magazine February 2021 by Ethan James Green

Ashley Graham Talks Her Rules, Her Game for WSJ Magazine February 2021 by Ethan James Green

Top model and the biggest broadcaster of body loving, self-confidence known to women, Ashley Graham is styled by Dara Allen in Balenciaga, Dolce & Gabbana, Fendi, Louis Vuitton, Michael Kors Collection, Prada, Ralph Lauren, Saint Laurent and more. Ethan James Green photographs Graham for the February 2021 issue of WSJ Magazine.

Marisa Meltzer interviews Graham, who gets straight to the point of why women like her.

“My brand is about confidence and owning who you are and being honest with who you are,” she says. “I think that’s incredibly reflective of my Instagram, my YouTube, my podcast. I just wish that I had someone that was as real and honest and open when I was in middle school, high school, moving to New York.”

This is the theme that Ashley Graham asserts over and over about herself — and the heavy lift she’s taken on with women at large. Graham wants women to feel the love in a world that makes it pretty damn difficult for females generally to feel worthy most of the time. Women of color pull an extra-heavy load, and so do women whose size is larger than those featured on fashion runways.
