British Vogue dedicates five covers to disabled trailblazers

Written by on April 22, 2023

British Vogue has revealed five portraits featuring disabled activists, models and creatives for a series of May 2023 covers, a move the magazine hopes will further important conversations around disability in the media and society.  The “Reframing Fashion: Dynamic, Daring and Disabled” issue stars activist Sinéad Burke, actor Selma Blair, sign language performer Justina Miles and the models Aaron Rose Philip and Ellie Goldstein. The new issue highlights how the fashion industry can increase inclusivity and adapt to better support people with disabilities, but also comes with a mea culpa from Enninful. “Making this issue was a necessary and overdue education for all — and taught us many lessons we will carry forward into the future,” he wrote in an note introducing the magazine. “Ultimately, these covers and portfolio ask a question: we all engage with fashion, but does fashion engage with all of us?”
