December cover of the new British vogue just missed a chance to discover and give a new face a breakthrough, writes Faustina Anyanwu for C. Hub Magazine. In her critical analysis of the Edward Enninful’s Vogue cover creation, she argues that the names on the cover are far from diverse as they have always been the same faces and definition of Vogue’s beauty standard.
She wrote:
“British Vogue unveils its December 2017 edition, the first edition since British Ghanaian style guru Edward Enninful came in as the Editor in Chief in April and he has just lost a chance of discovering a new Vogue face.
The focus of this ‘diverse’ issue should have been something very shocking, unexpected, refreshing, daring, edgy and new. It should have given an unknown, hard working, beautiful model her break. The team should have done more to find the ‘ordinary British beauties’ never known before.
Edward has just changed the clique at Vogue and brought his own set of cliques. That is not ‘diversity’. With this, we are making diversity to be about who is in charge and those they want around themselves. Diversity should be going against your usual to give voice to the ignored. These names on this ‘diverse’ cover are far from ignored.”
