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.

Writing for WSJ Magazine, Elisa Lipsky-Karasa swears that COVID-19 has not meant the end of high-octane fashion. All reports on the high-end luxury market are that she’s correct. In fact, the rich have become disproportionately richer during the pandemic, but I’m not seeing very much of a “let them eat cake” attitude going on out there.

In a nod to Stella McCartney’s fantastic pre-fall collection, let’s hope that women of means are at least thinking about sustainability before rapturing on the latest pair of 4” heels. My observations suggest that there’s very solid movement in the direction of fashion awareness on the sustainability front.
