British Vogue Highlights Disability in May Issue

British Vogue has honored disabled voices in its May issue. “My tenure here at Vogue has always been about inclusivity and diversity, and people forget how hard it is for the disabled community,” shared Edward Enninful, editor-in-chief of British Vogue. “I think this is one of the most incredible issues I’ve had the privilege of editing in my tenure.”

The Hottest Styles from Coachella 

Coachella has just completed its first week, and the fashion was off the charts. The festival has come a long way in the last few years, and it seems that this year’s event was just as showstopping with its looks. Celebrities, models, and everyone in between put on their best festival-ready looks, but some decided to forgo trends altogether.

 

Famous faces included Blackpink, who donned Dolce & Gabbana for their on-stage show. Saweetie wore Stinson Haus, Rosalia rocked custom Acne Studios, and Sara Sampaio wore Lovers + Friends. Kendall Jenner went without the classic festival attire, wearing a black singlet and a pair of plain trousers.

Zendaya’s First Louis Vuitton Campaign Drops

Zendaya is the new face of Louis Vuitton. To celebrate, the actress and model starred in a new campaign for the Capucines bag, styled by long-time stylist Law Roach. According to the French brand, Zendaya ‘personified the dreamy energy of Côte d’Azur.” The backdrop of the shoot is set at the Roquebrune-Cap-Martin House, shot by Mert Alas and Marcus Piggott.

 

In an interview with Vogue, the actress shared why she loves the Capucines bag. “If I buy something, I want it to really last me. I’m not always the most responsible bag owner, so I might be throwing it around; it might get some real wear in it, you know, because I want to really use it, and it feels so sturdy.”
