Last week, the editor of British Vogue shared that the 2019 September issue was the best selling of the past decade.

And now, Edward Enniful has taken to Instagram to announce the first Forces For Change event, the ‘Change-Maker Talks’, an evening of ‘intimate discussions’ will be held in March.
The star-studded line up will include Salma Hayek as a keynote speaker at the event which will be held at London’s Southbank Centre on 7 March.
The actor and activist was one of the 15 ”trailblazers” and ”changemakers” who featured on the Duchess of Sussex’s sell-out cover.
Held in conjunction with the Women Of The World festival, the event will be hosted by the magazine’s editor-in-chief who will lead an intimate conversation with artists, activists and fashion pioneers.
The conversations will be centred around issues such as diversity, mental and sustainability, which all featured as key topics in Meghan’s issue.

“Through it, we want to create authentic conversations into more complex and nuanced areas, whether they concern female empowerment, mental health, or sustainability.”
Other confirmed guests who will attend the event include Pakistani writer Fatima Bhutto and British-Iranian journalist Christiane Amanpour.
