Adut Akech, Imaan Hammam Go Big in Vogue US May 2021 by Ethan James Green

We have a proper fashion story out of the May 2021 American Vogue. It’s been so long that I was just jolted and stopped dead in my tracks with this discovery. Black beauty abounds with Amanda Gorman on the cover and top-tier models Adut Akech and Imaan Hammam featured here.

Vogue’s message is:

“With trailing hemlines and pumped-up volume, larger-than-life looks make one thing clear: More is very much more. “

In our earlier article about Gisele’s Vogue Hong Kong cover story, we noted the very sad reality that the supermodel with the biggest voice on climate change and especially saving the Brazilian rain forest is losing her battle.

Most recently Gisele is the executive producer of ‘Kiss the Ground’, narrated by Woody Harrelson, with interviews with Bündchen, her husband Tom Brady and Patricia Arquette. The hopeful message of the documentary deals with the topic of Biosequestration or the capture and storage of the atmospheric greenhouse gas carbon dioxide by continual or enhanced biological processes.
