NOTICES

In Industrial Revolution,

on page 96, Bella Hadid models

cult label Alyx, the creation of

her friends Matthew and Jennifer

Williams. “I love how genuine and

excited they both are,” Hadid tells

Vogue. “Not only about raising

their beautiful family, or travelling

the world together, but when they

see their pieces in full production.”

MEET & GREET

Introducing the faces

behind this month’s issue

On page 94, contributing editor Laura Bailey

meets the Vitality Roses, England’s national netball team.

The players – all “athletes at the top of their game”, as

she describes them – will compete in the Netball World

Cup in Liverpool in July. “Just half an hour on the

court with them left me hungry for more.”

Vogue’s digital

editor Alice

Casely-Hayford

recalls, on page 83,

the love, grief and

perseverance that

followed the death

of her father,

designer Joe

Casely-Hayford,

two months before

she married in

the dress that he

created for her.

“Super-young, super-keen, super-scruffy”

is how writer Tim Blanks remembers Marc

Jacobs at the start of his career in 1980s New

York. What would the long-haired Jacobs of

back then have made of his rise to bona fide

fashion icon? “He would have laughed and

blown smoke in my face,” says Blanks, who

interviews the designer on page 144.

Rising star of the Labour benches, Jess

Phillips MP was photographed by Nigel

Shafran, on page 172, at home in her

Birmingham Yardley constituency.

Photographer

Paolo Roversi enters

the fantastical world

of Gucci high

jewellery with

Alessandro Michele,

the house’s creative

director (page 126).

For Folk Tales (page 160), contributing

fashion editor Sarah Richardson visited the

Italian island of Pantelleria. “It’s a magical,

remote place,” she says, “that merges the

beauty of Italy with the exotic charms of north

Africa.” Richardson stayed at a WP Relais

dammuso – traditionally built with

walls of volcanic rock – just outside

the old town of Scauri.

After a chance encounter midway through the 2017 New York

City marathon, Karlie Kloss and former Teen Vogue editor

Elaine Welteroth became fast friends. “It felt meant to be,” says

Welteroth, who interviews this month’s dynamic cover star

(page 110). “She’s trying to make change in this industry.”
