Marcus Rashford scores cover of British Vogue's September issue
Aug 3, 2020
Marcus Rashford’s inspirational, policy-changing campaign against child poverty has garnered him accolades aplenty. Now it has also propelled the footballer on to the front cover of British Vogue’s September issue.
The Manchester United striker, who forced a government U-turn on the granting of free food vouchers for the poorest families over the summer, headlines a special edition dedicated to activism.
Rashford posed alongside Adwoa Aboah, the supermodel turned mental health activist, for the Activism Now issue. While Aboah has graced Vogue on several occasions, it’s a first time for Rashford.
The photograph was shot by Misan Harriman, the first black male photographer to shoot a cover of British Vogue in the magazine’s 104-year history. A predominantly black team was on set for the shoot.
Rashford, whose campaigning has led to him becoming the youngest recipient of an honorary doctorate from the University of Manchester , and Aboah, who founded the online mental health community Gurls Talk , head up the issue, which throws a spotlight on 40 “faces of hope”.
They include the campaigner Doreen Lawrence, the mother of Stephen Lawrence ; the American political activist Angela Davis; the Sudanese student and anti-government protester Alaa Salah; the British youth-enterprise campaigner Temi Mwale; and the Justice4Grenfell campaigner Yvette Williams.
