GQ ‘Men of the Year’ Cynthia Erivo Prepares for Dracula
At a time when even the entertainment industry is bowing to dark political forces, Cynthia Erivo made a culture-conquering hit in ‘Wicked: For Good’, while standing firm for inclusion, kindness and radical acceptance.
The Tony winner is currently in rehearsals for ‘Dracula’ opening February 4th in the West End. Erivo will play all 23 roles in Bram Stoker’s classic that runs until May 31. Creative camera work is her only partner onstage.
Kip Williams directs ‘Dracula’, telling the press that this version of the play will be a “queer retelling of the story, and we are looking at reclaiming the vampire.”
Adut Akech & Kiki Cover Vogue Australia November 2025 by Campbell Addy
Now that Anne has gotten over seeing supermodel Adut Akech wearing Jarrod Reid, reminding her of famed ballet dancer Judith Jamison on stage in ‘Cry’, she can think straight.
If only AOC could commission photographer Campbell Addy [IG], creator of these stunning images for the November 2025 issue of Vogue Australia [IG], to capture that famous, powerful and transformational American ballet with his creative eye.
Campbell Addy also takes the interview, which is really nice. You can read the convo between the creatives on Vogue Australia.
This fashion story ‘Jumping Into Embrace’ photographed by London-based Campbell Addy [IG] for ICON Italia [IG] taps into a topic very close to Addy’s body, mind and soul. It may be all ICON issues, as it’s also on ICON America.
American Vogue’s winter 2025 issue has a feature on Alexander McQueen creative director Seán McGill, who is finding his rhythm with measured steps at the house. Hayley Maitland interviews the designer, whose focus for his spring 2025 collection reflects far more discipline than his original collection for the brand.

Returning to the March 2023 issue of British Vogue [IG] after posting ‘Above’ with Doutzen and Liya, AOC learned about an old romance — the previously-announced in late summer 2022 engagement of supermodel Adut Akech to her “high school sweetheart” Samuel Elkhier.
The Adelaide, Australia couple has known each other now for about a decade, and Elkier appears with Adut in this fashion story ‘The Evening News’, lensed by Campbell Addy [IG].
Model Laira Alhassan is styled by Jessica Willis in ‘Coastal Fare’, a fashion story lensed by Campbell Addy. The talented creative takes us to his beautiful ‘motherland’ of Ghana — in and around its capital Accra — for WSJ Magazine December 2023-January 2024.
Shifting gears, we blast off to London, where model Jourdan Dunn and designer, stylist, creative director Ib Kamara presented Campbell Addy with the Isabella Blow Award for Fashion Creator at The Fashion Awards 2023 on December 4.
We share Addy’s video acceptance speech.
Global citizen, top model, actor and Lemlem philanthropist Liya Kebede covers the December 2023 issue of Vogue Italia [IG]. Ethiopian-born, Kebede has served as a WHO Ambassador for Maternal, Newborn and Child Health since 2005 and now lives in New York.
In a creative narrative twist, Liya Kebede poses in an artwork by Milan-based artist Jem Perucchini [above], who is also of Ethiopian heritage. Liya wears YSL in that image, styled by Paris-based Ally Macrae, who worked on the entire fashion shoot.
The impression sought by photographer Campbell Addy for the fashion shoot, involved interpreting Kebede a Queen of Sheba with the most classic insignia of sovereignty, the sphere.
Supermodel Naomi Campbell covers the March-April 2023 issue of Vogue India. Kate Phelan styled the supermodel legend in rich images by Campbell Addy [IG].
Naomi wears major jewelry by Sabyasachi [IG] and fashion, too, throughout the images. Never has Campbell had a Vogue India cover, nor a solo fashion feature, even though she’s been coming to India since 1994.
“The second time that I ever travelled alone in my life [to India], I went to Trivandrum,” Naomi reveals to Shriya Zamindar. “I went there by myself in 2012 to learn about yoga. I saw yoga being done in all these different ways, for different purposes. But I specifically wanted to know how to find this triangle of peace,” she says to the photo shoot team. “I wanted to go to the source and teach myself. I stayed there for a month and put my phone in the safe. There were only two people who knew how to contact me. I immersed myself in the experience and I loved it.”
Naomi Campbell’s mission in India has taken on a new focus. “I just launched my new initiative, EMERGE, in Qatar and we’re looking to bring it to India. It highlights young creatives and gives them a platform so that the world gets to see them,” she explains. “The concept is to invest in them and bring them to London and Milan, mixing them in where they should be. It’s about highlighting their work which doesn’t get highlighted.”
We’re late to Lizzo’s November 2022 Vanity Fair US cover story event — and what a reading experience it is. Now that New York’s Governors Ball has announced Lizzo in its 2023 edition June 9-11 at Flushing Meadows Corona Park in Queens, it’s time we do some serious Lizzo duty.
The uber talent well on her way to becoming a super star is making waves across America, and we’re here for it. Vanity Fair November was a long-interview pit stop with Lisa Robinson and it came with a perfect title: ‘Everything’s coming up Lizzo, and it’s about damn time.’
Lizzo was styled by the one and only Patti Wilson, with photography by Campbell Addy [IG].
I’m writing and switching paragraphs around so that this next tough-talking paragraph from her Vanity Fair interview is followed by Lizzo’s 2021 TEDMonterey Talk.
If you are a white woman who thinks she sounds a little bit too hostile in her VF interview, consider her flute playing at the Library of Congress on September 26.
I am so disturbed over what happened, I probably would have gone to jail.
American Vogue’s November issue, headlined by Michaela Coel, rolls into a sport-infused fashion story ‘Play On!’. Gabriella Karefa-Johnson styles Achenrin Madit, Akon Changkou, Maty Fall and Nyagua Ruea in varsity style casual clothes — heels aside — lensed by Campbell Addy [IG].
Exhibition: Photographer Campbell Addy has beautiful work on view in London until November 6, 2022 at 180 The Strand. The art show Major — New School celebrates the community and collabortators attached to this VERY interesting London destination. Malick Bodian, who shot the Michaela Coel, cover story for Vogue November also has work in the show, along with Ibrahim Kamara and many other top creatives.
Zoë Kravitz chose the name of her new movie ‘Pussy Island’ to be confrontational. The film marks the actor’s directorial debut on the grounds of a Yucatán hacienda — “a land of bacchanalia and vice”, writes Hunter Harris for WSJ Magazine.
