British Vogue - 11.2019

“I was really happy to
work with Ella Balinska,”
says Grace Coddington,
who styled the actor for Ella
Enchanted on page 184.
“When I discovered she was the
daughter of the beautiful
model Lorraine Pascale – who
I worked with in the ’90s –
I was even happier. She
didn’t disappoint me.”

or A Certain Romance, on

page 206, Vogue convened an

epic coterie of models to wear

the most spectacular new-

season couture. Cover star Jourdan

Dunn was a vision in Iris van Herpen;

Winnie Harlow (left) and Anok Yai

dazzled in Valentino; while Joan Smalls

and Ugbad Abdi were no less the

spectacle in Givenchy. Lineisy Montero

sparkled in show-stopping Armani

Privé; Tami Williams wore Dolce &

Gabbana; Adwoa Aboah looked divine

in Dior. Shanelle Nyasiase in Maison

Margiela Artisanal (below

left) and Duckie Thot in

Schiaparelli completed the

set, shot in the lush surrounds

of Richmond Park. “I have

always been enamoured with

18th-century British portrait

and landscape painters, and

how their work defined what

England looked like,” says

photographer Nick Knight

of his shoot. “I wanted to

redefine that with a modern

vision of Britain.”

“How can we be individuals and still be

united?” That’s the question producer, actor

and TV writer Lena Waithe poses on page 97

• ahead of the cinema release of Queen & Slim,
  her first script for a feature film.

In Labour of

Love, on page 112,

Rachel Chavkin

• the Tony Award-
  winning director
  of Hadestown –
  shares her moving
  experience of being
  a surrogate mother,
  and how she made
  the decision to
  give her two best
  friends a baby.

Journalist Yomi Adegoke

met Jourdan Dunn in

her west London home

for this month’s cover

interview (page 202).

“As someone who has

watched her fight

tirelessly for diversity

in fashion over the years,

it was amazing to talk

to Jourdan about the

progress that’s been

made,” says Adegoke.

“She has always fought

for what’s right, without

any of the piousness.”
