Meghan Markle, Duchess of Sussex guest edits British Vogue’s September 2019 issue, considered the most important issue of the year. Editor-in-chief-Edward Enninful invited Meghan to appear on the cover, but she declined, saying it would be considered “boastful”. With minions clamoring to criticize the Duchess at every turn in the road, declining was absolutely the correct decision.

Instead, the September 2019 British Vogue cover features 15 women who are “trailblazing changemakers, united by their fearlessness in breaking barriers”, according to a statement issued by Buckingham Palace.

The female ensemble of “trailblazing changemakers” includes activist actor Jane Fonda, climate change advocate, 16-year-old Greta Thunberg, New Zealand Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern, and supermodel now maternal health advocate Christy Turlington Burns.

Last year, Hadid was photographed celebrating Eid with pop star Zayn Malik, and also marched the streets of New York protesting against US President Donald Trump’s anti-Muslim travel ban in 2017.

Peter Lindbergh shows why he's the master of black and white photography shooting, Buccellati’s SS18 campaign in the most iconic places in Florence, including Caffé Gilli and the Torrigiani Gardens. Carolyn Murphy and Chinese actress Zhang Ziyi wear both traditional designs – like the Macri bracelet – and contemporary styles – such as the colored Hawaii line – by the Italian jewelery brand.

Buccellati is now owned 85% by Chinese Gansu Gangtai Group and opened its first store in Shanghai in November 2017.

AOC is digging deeply into ethical jewelry-making practices. Based on a superficial-only survey of the question of commitments to sustainable and ethical practices, there is no commitment to ethical practices associated with the Buccellati brand visible on the brand's website or in a last 12 months Google search. 

Britney Spears Gets New Attitude, Lensed By Peter Lindbergh For Kenzo La Collection Momento Spring 2018

The 1980s were a mixed fashion bag for Britney Spears. "I used to wear big bows on top of my head," the pop star said on the eve of her first luxury fashion campaign debut. "I mean, ugly was the way to go in the '80s, it was all just completely obnoxious -- but there was also something so refreshing about that and the fact that we didn't care what anyone thought about our clothes."

When Kenzo's creative directors, Carol Lim and Humberto Leon, reached out to Spears about becoming the face of their second nostalgia-based La Collection Momento for Spring 2018, the star was game. The collection is a tribute to the debut of Kenzo Jeans in 1986. 

Britney Spears, now a 36-year-old working mom of two, shines brightly in the campaign shot on location in Los Angeles by Peter Lindbergh. “This collection is very youthful,” says Spears. “We had fun on set, even though it was a bit weird for me at first. I am used to shooting in a studio or a small space, and this was on the street. We were out there and I had really promiscuous clothes on, which felt odd, but, of course, on film it turned out to be really cool.”

“Kaia is absolutely fantastic in every way. Her beauty, her charm, her incredible personality, and her professional work ethic prove that the apple doesn’t fall far from the tree.” — Marc Jacobs

The challenges she has posed have set us in new directions, which will be lasting,” said Vogue Australia's editor-in-chief Edwina McCann of Watson's guest editorship and the subsequent fashion shoot.

The issue features stories and interviews with designer Stella McCartney, sustainable fashion advocate Livia Firth, scientist Tim Flannery and Nobel Peace Prize recipient Malala Yousafzai.

It's easy to forget that there's a fourth member of the Gerber-Crawford family -- the 55-year-old patriarch Rande Gerber. The New York Times has a major profile on the Gerber family, with a special focus on Rande Gerber, also a former model. 

It's not an exaggeration to write "Maybe the gods were jealous", in writing about the Gerber-Crawford family: real-deal supermodel Cindy Crawford; her 16-year-old daughter, Kaia Gerber; 18-year-old son, Presley Gerber and dad Rande Gerber.

As the new brand ambassadors for Omega, the Gerber family was center stage in Paris last November. 

Mr. Gerber, a former model, took the mic and, with the modesty of a supporting player, thanked Omega for employing his family. “Because now I can retire,” he said, to polite chuckles. “They’re all working.”
