Everything You Need To Know About Vogue World: London

It is no secret that the performing arts landscape in the UK took a great hit during Covid – and there is nobody better placed to try to boost its fortunes than Vogue magazine. To launch London Fashion Week this September, Vogue is putting on a one-off performance to celebrate our world-class performing arts industry.

The event comes hot on the heels of a similar celebration in New York last year.

‘I’m thrilled to be co-hosting the second edition of Vogue World in London,’ says Edward Enninful, editor-in-chief of British Vogue and European Editorial Director, Vogue.

‘British Vogue has been championing fashion, culture, and the magical point where the two intersect for 107 years.

‘Now, we’re bringing its pages to life with the help of industry-leading talents in order to support the full spectrum of the creative arts in London. I can’t wait for everyone to join us for a night to remember.’

Here is all you need to know about the Vogue World 2023.
