Coronavirus: London key workers to star on cover of British Vogue
Jun 3, 2020
Three front-line workers from London will star on the cover of British Vogue next month.
A London Overground train driver, an east London midwife and a King's Cross supermarket worker will all feature on July's front page.
Photographer Jamie Hawkesworth captured the trio of women for a 20-page portfolio for the fashion magazine.
"They represent the millions of people in the UK who, at the height of the pandemic, put on their uniforms and went to help," Vogue's editor-in-chief Edward Enninful said.
"This moment in history required something extra special, a moment of thanks to the new front line."
Rachel Millar, 24, has worked as a community midwife at Homerton Hospital, in east London, for almost three years.
She was on shift on one of the delivery suites at the hospital when a team from Vogue came in to take portraits of numerous staff for what she believed was to be a feature on NHS staff.
Talking to the BBC, Rachel, who lives in Leyton, described being on the cover of British Vogue as "surreal".
"I'm a bit overwhelmed - but in a good way. I had no idea it would be what I now know it is," she said.
"I've had so many lovely comments about it and I think people have enjoyed seeing someone from the NHS on the cover.
"I feel it has given the NHS a lot of recognition and a lot of love to jobs that were perhaps previously overlooked."
