Gisele Bundchen's 'Wonder Woman' British Invasion by Steven Meisel for British Vogue

Bündchen’s masterclass in bombshell-meets-earth mother glamour shut down New York’s Casa Cipriani lower Manhattan hotel. Styled by Edward Enninful and photographed by Steven Meisel, the images are stop-you-in-your-tracks fantastic. The storied establishment has witnessed its fair share of debauchery.

Nothing could have prepared the hotel for the 41-year-old Gisele Bundchen draping herself across a room service trolley wearing sequins and a ferocious pair of platforms. In the words of British Vogue, there are fashion shoots and then there are Gisele Bündchen fashion shoots.

We say Amen!

Adele, Reborn in a Transatlantic Vogue Triumph: In Vogue UK November by Steven Meisel

Adele, Reborn in a Transatlantic Vogue Triumph: In Vogue UK November by Steven Meisel

Adele covers the November issues of both British Vogue and American Vogue. Across the pond, the jaw-dropping partnership puts Adele in the curatorial fashion arms of EIC Edward Enninful and the impeccable eye of master photographer Steven Meisel.

Adele’s attitude about the public response to her new image is “I couldn’t give a flying f**k” (about what anyone thinks of her image). Spellbinding glamour comes from within and not from Instagram likes. And the hair? Adele has found her inner lioness.

Up next, Adele rolls up the safari mat of her inner lioness for American Vogue, in a more subdued fashion story lensed by Alasdair McLellan. LOL, for just one precious moment — LET THE GOOD TIMES ROLL! ~ Anne

British Vogue August 2020 'Reset' Issue Honors Nature & Creatives

British Vogue August 2020 'Reset' Issue Honors Nature & Creatives

Photographer Nick Knight pays high compliments to British Vogue’s EIC Edward Enninful, explaining the mutual synergy that gave life to the first project of its kind for British Vogue’s August 2020 issue: the commissioning of 14 special covers that tapped Britain’s greatest artists and photographers from Tim Walker to Nadine Ijewere, David Hockney, Lubaina Himid and ‘yes’ Nick Knight. Expand the list to include Mert Alas, David Sims, Marcus Piggott, Jamie Hawkesworth, Juergen Teller, Alasdair McLellan, Martin Parr, David Bailey and Craig McDean.

In a followup to the magazine’s recent online auction in collaboration with Sharon Wolter Ferguson’s HEWI (Hardly Ever Wore It), this new project also makes British Vogue an engine of change and support for people in need. “The original prints of each depiction of nature – be it an everyday skyline or the memory of a place much missed – will be auctioned off in aid of Covid-19 relief charities later this year.”

British Vogue’s August Issue, Reset, and the 20-page story ‘All Across the Land’, written by British naturalist Helen Macdonald, supports a mission not only of showcasing the beautiful, but also highlighting that our planet is the living, breathing core of our human existence. As such, Edward Enninful’s 2020 mission is to RESET our relationship to nature.

Knight’s Reset cover was not the first publicity release, but it explains some highly-relevant backstory about the project. The debut cover for the project launch belongs to David Hockney.
