Theme of the Issue
“Summer State of Wonder”
The June issue celebrates summer as a
dynamic emotional landscape
, not merely a season. The editorial theme—“
Summer State of Wonder
”—invites readers into a world of layered dualities:
Light vs. Shadow
Ease vs. Intricacy
Breezy silhouettes vs. Sculptural tailoring
Through
imaginative styling, atmospheric photography
, and a
renewed focus on texture
, the issue breaks from minimalist summer norms. Instead, it embraces a mood of
sensual contrast
, where each look reflects both
freedom and intention, whimsy and depth
.
This thematic narrative offers an evolved vision of seasonal elegance—
unexpected, romantic, and emotionally resonant
.

Behind the Shoot
Intimacy Meets Grandeur

Street Style Spotlight
Global Fashion on the Streets
This issue explores how street style has evolved into a global language of sustainability and expression. In cities like Tokyo, Lagos, Copenhagen, and Mexico City, individuals are crafting personal looks that reflect both environmental awareness and stylistic freedom.
What We Saw
Natural, breathable fabrics like organic cotton and hemp
Innovative layering using secondhand, vintage, and upcycled garments
Unexpected pairings: designer loafers with market-stall skirts, hand-dyed scarves over techwear jackets
Cultural blends—Nigerian prints meet Scandi minimalism, Tokyo streetwear meets Parisian tailoring
These styles aren’t just “cool”—they’re purposeful, rooted in climate-conscious creativity and a rejection of disposable fashion.
As one Lagos-based stylist told Vogue:
“We’re not just dressing for the weather—we’re dressing for the planet.”
Feature Story: Black Dandyism
Style as Power, Style as Protest
Black Dandyism is more than a look—it’s a statement, a rebellion, a celebration. Emerging from diasporic histories, it reclaims Eurocentric dress codes and turns them into a canvas for Black joy, resistance, and elegance.
Visual Codes of the Dandy:
Precision tailoring: double-breasted suits, tapered trousers, polished shoes
Flourishes of individuality: brocade fabrics, fedoras, bold rings, walking sticks
Confident posture: not posing, but proclaiming
Vogue interviews modern-day Black Dandies from London, Kinshasa, and New York, tracing how this style movement challenges ideas of masculinity, class, and race.
“To be seen—on our terms, in our beauty—is a political act.”
— Dr. Tanaka James, cultural historian
In celebrating Black Dandyism, this feature invites readers to see fashion as resistance—and elegance as emancipation.
