VOGUE APRIL ISSUE- BLACK JOY
British Vogue. What an elevation. I always wonder if the new found admiration and… satisfaction? I have in this magazine since the appointment of Edward Enninful will dissipate with the next issue but so far, its all good. Before the arrival of Enninful, British Vogue was stuck in some kind of Sloanite rot that hardly…

Read | The November Issue of VOGUE
I figure since its October I am not late, things are finally starting to settle down around here, I am getting used to my space and new home and finally able to come up for air and back on the regular-ish. I am falling more and more in love with Vogue, a thing I didn’t…

Forces of Change- Vogue
“It’s Vogue ok, please let’s… lift it.” This remains one of the most memorable quotes from The September Issue during an interaction between Anna Wintour and Edward Enninful. The phrase encapsulates her entire thoughts on Vogue and its role in larger society. And for a long time this was how I felt about British Vogue…

Magazines Are Killing Themselves… And Fashion
In its recent issue, Vogue US has a feature on Noor Tagouri; activist, journalist, speaker but next to one of her pictures is the name Noor Bhukari.

After more than 25 years at the magazine; the ying to Anna Wintour’s yang. She wants to do other things. Grace is without question the greatest living…

The September Issue
The September Issue of any magazine is the crowning glory of its year, the defining issue, it draws in the big advertisers, big brands and inspires reader fanfare. It is important, in some ways political, topical, and the cause of many a fuss. The September Issue separates the players from the settlers; it is fashion’s new year, the new…

Mediocrity In Vogue
If it seems like I am always ragging on Vogue, its because I expect them to do better, to know better, and if they are as fashion forward as they want to believe they are, want to convince their readers that they are, they should re-define their definition of fashion, step outside their comfort zone…

Lupita In Vogue
Bloody hell, I’ll probably have to buy this copy of Vogue, maybe several copies of this Vogue because ya know, one Lupita Nyong’o is on the cover. We saw this coming duh! I would’ve preferred the September Issue, but I doubt it would have made a difference anyhow because of that other cover. Let’s speak frankly, when…
