This is absolutely major.
Sinéad Burke, Irish influencer, writer, academic and advocate has been announced as the new contributing editor of British Vogue.
Sinéad has made massive strides when it comes to advocating for inclusivity in fashion, and made major turns in the industry this year alone.
On Instagram, Sinéad confirmed the news, saying: “I’m very, very proud to be a new Contributing Editor to @britishvogue. Thank you so much to @edward_enninful for his extraordinary leadership and to @gileshattersley and @alcaselyhayford for taking a chance on me.
“My first piece (which is online now) is about my body, disability and our response to difference.”
Two months ago, Sinéad featured on the front cover of one of the most influential fashion magazines in the world – Business of Fashion.
The issue was called the Age of Influence and no words ring truer than those for Sinéad.
The fashion campaigner has been making waves in Ireland and now has begun to make waves around the world, by using her voice to spread important messages on TED talks and at the World Economic Forum in Davos, where she chatted to the likes of RuPaul, Joe Biden to Oprah Winfrey; one on one.
Her work in making fashion accessible to everyone has been the driving force behind her, and with the images in BoF, she certainly proved it.
