Iman Features on First British Vogue Cover
Supermodel Iman is the star of British Vogue’s January 2023 cover. The Somali model has been in the industry for more than 40 years, but this is the first time she has appeared in the publication. Wearing Norma Kamali, Sun Woo, and Richard Quinn, the campaign was photographed by Nadine Ijewere in the ‘60s and ‘70s-inspired shoot with bright colors against a clean, white background.
In the story, Iman discusses her experience as a Black woman in the modeling industry. Spotted by photographer Peter Beard, she created the Black Girls Coalition alongside Naomi Campbell and Bethany Hardison in the ‘80s. “I’m done with the seat at the table. Let’s just dismantle the whole table,” she said.

A Look at Jacquemus’ SS23 Show
Jacquemus channeled Pamela Anderson in its Spring Summer 2023 collection. Featuring raffia hats, earrings, and finishes, the collection honored the ‘00s with micro mini skirts, low-slung trousers, and crop tops. The colors that played huge roles included yellow, cream, black, and pink, styled in monochromatic ways for maximum impact against the raffia.
“We wanted to have a bit of fun with our brand,” said Simon Porte Jacquemus. Of the collection, the designer said he pictured “girls you imagine in Portofino and Capri, going around with their hats and earrings and polka dot pants.” The French designer pranked the fashion industry in the lead up to the show, sharing a cryptic post on Instagram before the show. “This is my last show,” it said on one slide. “Of the year,” read the next slide.
