British Vogue’s incoming editor-in-chief Edward Enninful hasn’t officially started yet but he’s made his first appointment and hired a new fashion director – acclaimed stylist and photographer Venetia Scott. Next month, she’ll take over from Lucinda Chambers, who’s been fashion director at the magazine for more than 35 years. So some big shoes to fill.
It’s all change at British Vogue – Enninful will be the magazine’s first male editor ever when he replaces long-standing boss Alexandra Shulman in August.

The editor-in-chief had some pretty complimentary things to say about her.
Enninful said in a statement: “Visionary, influential and inspiring are overused terms, but in this case appropriate to describe Venetia’s work.
“Venetia will continue the legacy of creativity and innovation for which British Vogue is known, positioning it for its next century.”
Her CV is ridiculously impressive.
Scott began her fashion career in the 1980s as an assistant to Grace Coddington, American Vogue‘s brilliant former creative director. After that Scott worked at magazines such as AnOther Magazine, The Face, i-D and Vogue Italia, before becoming fashion director at Nova. If that wasn’t enough, she became creative director of the Marc Jacobs label in 2001.
She’s a photographer as well as a fashion director.

She’s fascinating – just watch this interview with SHOWstudio.
