The personal page of Naomi Campbell in Instagram has become a platform for tough criticism of the editorial policy of Alexandra Shulman. What was the cause of the indignation of the supermodel and why did this story get publicized only now?
New Vogue format
On the upcoming cardinal changes in the editorial staff began talking in the spring, under the blow came Alexander Shulman and her team, in place many talented and media persons were tagged, but the preference was given to Edward Enninfull. The solution caused a lot of questions, first of all began to talk about the skin color of the new editor, and not about his professional qualities.
Edward Enninful - the first black man, who headed the authoritative fashion edition of the world level. Note that he persevered towards his goal, in 1998, Edward began to work in Italian Vogue, and by 2008 his opinion in the magazine was already unshakable! Thanks to him, the first "black number" was released, in which only black models were presented - the number aroused resonance in the society and became one of the best selling in the history of the Italian gloss. By 2014, Edward received recognition and a prize at the British Fahion Awards, enlisting the support of supermodels and eminent global brands. Last year became a landmark for Anninful, his work was noted by the royal family, awarding the knightly order of the British Empire.
Edward Anninful collects a new team
In August, the ex-head of Vogue officially left his office, and Edward Enninful already began to collect a new team. Perhaps among the editors we will see Naomi Campbell and the dark-skinned director Steve McQueen, they received proposals for cooperation and are ready to join the glossy world of fashion.

It's no secret that Naomi and Edward have been friends for many years, that's why she fully supports him and provides all possible assistance in his new place. Does the criticism of the team of Alexandra Shulman have personal motives? Journalists argue that the resonance post is based on an "invitation to dialogue" and the definition of a new course by the editor of British Vogue, nothing personal! What did Naomi pay attention to in her Instagram?
The photo depicts employees of British Vogue under the ex-editor Alexander Shulman. With enthusiasm and impatience I look forward to the leadership of Edward Anninful and the comprehensive and diverse changes in the team. Perhaps the editor will hear my thoughts and suggestions?
