The model and activist recently appeared on the cover of the Condé Nast title’s August issue celebrating LGBTQ+ stars.

With an audience of over a half a million on social media, Bergdorf will use her new role at British Vogue to continue her work amplifying marginalised voices, offering insight and instruction on feminism, diversity and LGBTQ+ topics.

For her first piece, Bergdorf writes about the importance of fashion to societal evolution as well as its place in her own personal journey.

She said: “To me, fashion is a reminder of what possibilities may lay ahead for us, especially those of us of marginalised experiences.

“One of the only industries consisting largely of women and gay men in decision making roles, fashion can help us make sense of our feelings, to express ourselves in a way that surpasses the limitations of human language, to stand in solidarity with those facing injustice, to collectively mourn in the wake of a global crisis, to celebrate the hope of a world beyond the limitations and prejudices of our own.”
