Vogue Magazine’s Complicated Relationship with Diversity
Edward Enninful, the new editor-in-chief of British Vogue, has a proven history of addressing diversity that many hope will be the start of an overhaul of the global Vogue brand.
In March, he responded sublimely when US President
Donald Trump nominated Supreme Court judge Neil
Gorsuch, who allegedly does not care much about civil
rights: Enninful styled a shoot for his then employer, the
New York-based W magazine, in which a range of
ethnically diverse models climb the stairs of an imaginary
“Supreme Court”. In February, after Trump initiated the
much-debated immigration ban, Enninful put together a
video showcasing the various fashion celebrities who
have immigrated into the US. Even before his first official
dayin Vogue’s Mayfair offices, Enninful had hired two
English superstars of Jamaican descent in an attempt to
diversify the team. Model Naomi Campbell and make-up
artist Pat McGrath both share Enninful’s aim of
championing fashion as a force for social change.
One can only hope that Enninful’s appointment is not
a mere blip, but a move in the right direction on a long
road to diversity for the global brand.
