Forces of Fashion

In its sixth year, Vogue’s Forces of Fashion summit will return as a virtual and in-person event in both New York and London on October 14. The event will allow audiences to watch Vogue editors from around the world speak with designers, influencers, and industry executives in a series of candid panels and discussions.
Headlining the event in New York at Spring Studios in New York are Vogue editor in chief Anna Wintour, supermodel Gigi Hadid, designer Christopher John Rogers, and artistic director of Fendi and Dior Men’s Kim Jones, among others. Meanwhile in London, British Vogue editor-in-chief and European editorial director Edward Enninful will be joined by Dua Lipa, makeup artist Charlotte Tilbury, and photographer Nadine Ijewere.
Vogue Club members will have access to all this content on demand, as well as the opportunity to virtually join networking sessions with Vogue’s network of editors, stylists, and creatives, and attend the in-person event at a discounted price. A portion of the proceeds from the event—which is presented by Brizo, John Hardy, and Rothy’s—will support NewYork-Presbyterian’s Youth Anxiety Center.

Over the course of two days, a number of the fashion industry’s leading designers and icons will sit down for thought-provoking conversations. Highlights include a special panel discussion with Vogue’s Anna Wintour, British Vogue’s Edward Enninful, Vogue China’s Margaret Zhang, and Vogue Runway’s Luke Leitch, who will all offer an exclusive behind-the-scenes look at what goes into making Vogue’s global titles.

Designers such as Marc Jacobs, Balenciaga’s Demna Gvasalia, Maison Margiela’s John Galliano, and Chloé’s Gabriela Hearst will all speak as well. Topics in the panels will range from what it takes to build a brand with impeccable authenticity to what goes into making it as a top fashion stylist.

This year’s annual Forces of Fashion summit, occurring on July 7 and 8, already has a star-studded lineup of speakers including designers Marc Jacobs and John Galliano, make-up artist Pat McGrath, and stylist Zerina Akers. As of today, even more A-list speakers have been added to the lineup – and Vogue invites you to get in on the fun and to register for tickets.
Award-winning, record-breaking artist Billie Eilish will be joining Gucci’s visionary creative director Alessandro Michele for a candid conversation around fashion, music, and more. Michele has dressed Eilish on many occasions – including for the Grammys this year, sparkly headpiece and all. Eilish is also gearing up for her highly-anticipated sophomore album, Happier Than Ever, releasing in July. As two prominent figures who shape their respective industries, it will be a conversation not to be missed.
Meanwhile, for Forces of Fashion VIP ticket holders only: Andrew Bolton, the Metropolitan Museum of Art Costume Institute’s Curator in Charge, will also host a special conversation around his upcoming exhibit, In America: A Lexicon of Fashion, which opens at the Anna Wintour Costume Center on September 18. He will be joined by designers Vera Wang and Prabal Gurung for a conversation on American fashion, identity, culture, and politics.
