Vogue Japan Spotlights 10 Models on 15 Key Fashion Trend Covers For September 2019

Vogue Japan Spotlights 10 Models on 15 Key Fashion Trend Covers For September 2019

Vogue Japan kicks off the Fall 2019 fashion season, releasing a major parade of model covers styled by Anna Dello Russo. Photographers Luigi & Iango are behind the lens bringing 10 top models front and center. They include Adut Akech, Anok Yai, Fran Summers, Hikari Mori, Kris Grikaite, Primrose Archer, Rebecca Leigh Longendyke, Remington Williams, Signe Veiteberg and Ugbad.

On a side note, many of fashion’s most articulate voices — Naomi Campbell to name one — are watching this year of models of color on the march. Personally, I think we’re entering a period of continued ascendancy for models of color, who are being propelled forward in the culture from politics to Hollywood and beyond.

I’m one of the people who is counting, tracking, observing any sign of the fashion industry falling back into old bad habits (which is a nice way of describing past reality.) If Vogue Japan is an indication, this new, beautiful and inspiring reality is going strong into Fall 2019. Our foot is on the pedal, and we’re not letting up on the drive for women of color to finally bloom in all their glory. We want to kick that door wide open and bolt it to the wall, so that it never closes on them again. Ever. ~ Anne

Zoe Ghertner Captures Vogue US 'The Present Is Female': Designers Behind Fashion Revolution

Zoe Ghertner Captures Vogue US 'The Present Is Female': Designers Behind Fashion Revolution

Sarah Mower is the first person voice behind Vogue’s August 2019 in-depth ‘The Present Is Female: The Designers Behind a Fashion Revolution.’

A FEMALE CULTURE runs far and wide across the landscape of 21st-century fashion. It’s there at the top of the canopy, in major Parisian houses; it pervades the uprising of young, self-made independents and generations of established entrepreneurs: a multifaceted critical mass of women steadily working to change an industry for the better. What’s remarkable is the way they talk about feeling, their agile ability to intuit the time we live in, and their quiet but steady turning of the fashion world toward the overthrow of bad and old institutional behaviors.

Steven Meisel Eyes Adut, Bella, Fran, Meghan + Vittoria For Moschino SS2019 Campaign

“He’s so humble, but he makes these incredible, out of this world clothes that are just super eccentric and sexy in all the right ways,” Grace Elizabeth told Vogue about Jeremy Scott’s Spring 2019 Moschino Collection. “The premise for Spring was that I didn’t have time to finish the collection, so all I have are sketches,” Scott explained. There were bow-tied suits, wrap dresses, and ladylike shifts covered in what looked like scribbled marker (though if you zoom in, you’ll notice the “ink” is often embroidered with paillettes, too).

Scott’s Moschino Spring-Summer 2019 runway magic comes to life in high drama images by Steven Meisel. Styled by Carlyne Cerf de Dudzeele, the Moschino images vibrate a high-aesthetic intensity conveyed by Adut Akech, Bella Hadid, Fran Summers, Meghan Collison and Vittoria Ceretti. / Makeup by Pat McGrath; hair by Guido Palau

Fran Summers Channels British Invasion Of New York, Lensed By Inez & Vinoodh For Vogue UK November 2018

Rising model Fran Summers, a 19-year-old from North Yorkshire, covers the November 2018 issue of British Vogue, going solo after her May 2018 nine-model appearance. Vogue Edward-in-Chief Edward Enninful packs up elegant silhouettes from recent couture shows, recreating an ode to the British invasion of New York in the 1960s, lensed by Inez & Vinoodh.

Enninful muses that because Fran is a “proper beauty with universal appeal, there were actual gasps from onlookers as I walked her through the streets in her Dior gown. Literally, the crowds parted, taxis stopped, horns honked and the whole world seemed to stop and stare. She had arrived. It was, as we say in fashion, “a moment”.
