Around the world,” writes the model Iman on page 210, “in places such as Syria, Yemen, northern Ethiopia, people are being driven from homes, across borders, into camps and left to sojourn for years in places where they may not know the language, where they have no citizenship and often no prospects.” Iman speaks from personal experience. Having fled in the night as a teenager across the Kenyan border from her home in Somalia, she knows more intimately than many how, for millennia, our world has existed in a perpetual crisis of human displacement. Of late, refugeehood is once again front and centre in Western minds, on our screens and in our headlines. The devastating effects of war in Ukraine – which has already seen millions of people make passage across…

On page 198, Vogue celebrates the beauty of the modern family, with six portraits of parents and children around the world. Fashion editor TABITHA SIMMONS (left) says she felt “so lucky to be able to work on these portraits” alongside photographer ANNIE LEIBOVITZ. “It was so fun going through all the different wardrobes.” “As a formerly displaced person, I want my story to give people hope,” writes former model HALIMA ADEN of her experience of being a refugee, alongside first-person accounts from 11 fellow contributors in On Dangerous Ground, on page 210. “Hope that things will get better; that things won’t always be this way.” For One More Time, Vogue fashion director JULIA SARR-JAMOIS (left) doubles as stylist and model for a Y2K-inspired shoot with JUERGEN TELLER, on page 168. “I felt…

“The new LUXURY is handmade. With fast FASHION, we forget about the HUMAN touch and the VALUE it has” On a winter’s night 15 years ago, I was walking down a Paris street with my former boss, Washington Post editor Ben Bradlee, who was in town to receive the Legion of Honour, when I remarked how beautiful his navy wool coat was. “Where did you get it?” I asked. “Savile Row,” he said. “In the 1950s.” Sixty-plus years on, that coat looked new, fit Ben impeccably and repelled the rain like a duck. “This is the beauty of bespoke,” explained Magdalena Handwerker, head ladieswear cutter for the Savile Row tailor Huntsman, which this spring has introduced the Huntswoman of Tomorrow collection. “Investing in a bespoke suit is worth it because we will…

If there is a woman in fashion who embodies all that a Pucci print evokes – perpetual modernity, Euro chic, absolute joy – it is Camille Miceli, a defiantly ageless 50-year-old Franco-Italian Parisienne, who, in her 35-year career, has worked side by side with – get this – Azzedine Alaïa, Karl Lagerfeld, Marc Jacobs, John Galliano, Raf Simons and Nicolas Ghesquière. Last summer, the powers that be at LVMH – namely chairman and CEO Bernard Arnault; his daughter Delphine Arnault, board member and executive vice president of Louis Vuitton; and LVMH Fashion Group chairman and CEO Sidney Toledano – made the judicious decision to hire Miceli as artistic director of Emilio Pucci. “Camille was considered for Pucci for her creative qualities, her vision and her ability to inspire her team,” Delphine…
