VOGUE CELEBRATES 100 YEARS

Centenarian Bo Gilbert, from Birmingham, has been chosen to mark Vogue magazine's 100th anniversary in a new Harvey Nichols campaign. The June issue hits newsstands this weekend and will be its biggest edition

Vogue's first 100-year-old model who has just landed a covetable modelling gig.
The centenarian, from Birmingham, has been chosen to mark the iconic magazine's 100th anniversary in a new Harvey Nichols campaign.

Bo appears in a new short film produced by the department store, and her campaign will also feature in the new June issue of British Vogue, which hits newsstands this weekend and will be its biggest ever edition.




'I dress to suit myself, I certainly don't dress up for boys. I love the different fashions; we were all for these hats in those days. And nearly always tilted to one side, then either a feather or something in it. Now you never see anybody in a hat.'
Bo adds: 'I love wearing nice things, it's always appealed to me and it still does.' When she is shown the finished product from the shoot - the images that will appear in Vogue - she says: 'Oh, it's astonishing! It's pretty, isn't it?'  


Bo has her Make-up done for the Video

Shadi Halliwell, creative and marketing director at Harvey Nichols, said that working with Bo was 'a privilege.' 


'We devised a campaign that reflected the playful attitude Harvey Nichols is famous for, celebrating both the 100th Anniversary of British Vogue, and also style in its entirety,' she said.
'It was a privilege to work with Bo, she is a fabulous, independent lady who epitomises timeless style.'


SWIM SHOP



The colours and the attitude, with an array of vibrant performance-ready swimwear and luxe layering options, take as look at Fabletics swim shop.

It’s so important that we work harder than ever to increase awareness about HIV among young people. We need to work together to ensure that our future generations are empowered, particularly young people, so they can protect themselves against HIV.”

She added: “Raising up our girls and women is something I've been focussing on a lot recently and it's something I tried to express in Phenomenal Woman [Laura’s latest music video].
“First and foremost girls and young women should have access to information and know that they can make their own choices and part of why I’m involved with MTV Staying Alive is because they’re getting the message out to a very wide audience.
“Girls are disproportionately affected by HIV, with nearly two thirds of all new infections among young people being girls, so I hope that in my role as Ambassador I'll be able to encourage them.”

Laura will be adding her name to the amazing list of Staying Alive Foundation ambassadors and performers over the years, including Beyoncé, Diddy, George Michael, Tinie Tempah, Kelly Rowland, Becca Dudley and Keri Hilson, all of whom have helped the charity in the global fight against HIV
