It is always interesting to follow the fashion world. It seems as if there is always something to talk about, and even if the news is slow, you only have to wait a day or two before it picks up steam again. Although there are many influencers who are in the middle of the fashion industry, Vogue is one that stands out among the rest. British Vogue is known for fashion but it isn’t just the fact that they have a magazine, they are known for being on the edge when it comes to fashion trends.
This is clearly seen in the June issue of British Vogue. That magazine has always shown itself to be on the forefront of anything related to fashion, but in June, they took things to the next level. The cover shows an 85-year-old actress, Dame Judy Dench, and she holds the distinction of being the oldest model that has ever been on the cover of the magazine. Perhaps you remember her from some of the movies that she has started in, such as the James Bond movie, Skyfall or “Shakespeare in Love”.
The pictures were taken in early March before the UK went on lockdown due to the coronavirus pandemic. She also gave an interview to the magazine, where she talked about the crisis.
“I am sure I feel like everyone else, such unprecedented times are quite hard to comprehend. What is a good thing is that it has made people aware of the predicament of others who are completely alone. If a great deal of kindness comes out of this, then that will be a plus.”
British Vogue’s editor-in-chief, Edward Enninful was happy that Dench would be appearing on the cover of his magazine. He said: I can’t tell you how pleased I am to see Dame Judi Dench, the unassailable queen of stage and screen, starring on her first Vogue cover at the age of 85.”
As the first male editor in chief of British Vogue, Enninful is proud of the work that he does. He has tried to bring diversity to the magazine, having a black British model, Adwoa Aboah on the cover in December 2017 and then the first hijabi woman in 2018.
