British Vogue’s ACTIVISM NOW

British Vogue continues to lead and take action on what inclusive fashion media should look like. The September 2020 cover features ‘20 remarkable activists who are ready to change the world’.

“This month, all international Vogues, of which there are currently an impressive 26, are uniting to dedicate their September covers to one shared theme: hope. I knew instantly and deeply believed in what British Vogue’s interpretation needed to be – an ode to the extraordinary voices, old and young, who in this difficult year have devoted their energies to fighting for a fairer society.

And so, on our special fold-out September cover, you will find 20 inspirational faces: from spearhead campaigners for the Black Lives Matter movement, such as Patrisse Cullors; leading young feminists and anti-racism activists, such as Tamika D. Mallory; as well as straight-up legends such as Prof Angela Davis and the incredible Alice Wong. There are also those – the model Joan Smalls and the actor Jesse Williams, for instance – who have used their platforms to effect change in their own industries, often risking censure and derision in the process…

…When all is said and done, it’s clear that 2020 will be remembered as a tough year, but also as a moment of necessary change. One thing is for certain. The future starts now.” - Edward Enniful OBE
