The Fashion Yearbook 2021

The international fashion world is not only a hotbed of creativity, but also a fast-moving and mercurial one. The Fashion Yearbook 2021 cherry-picks some of the most intriguing editorials, covers, and campaigns of 2020 and places them within the zeitgeist.

In a year in which the carpet was swept out from under us, the sudden loss of stability also gave rise to new creativity, freedom, and surprise as fashion magazines began taking a more active political stance. Presented here in detail are the inspiring minds—photographers, stylists, models, editors, et al.—behind this sudden change in paradigm.

This compilation was selected by an international jury of 12 that includes Ariel Foxman, former Editor-in-Chief of InStyle; Donald Schneider, former art director of French Vogue and creative mind of the H&M designer collaborations; Sara Maino, Deputy Director of Vogue Italia and head of Vogue Talents; and street-style icon and influencer Veronika Heilbrunner.

The Fashion Yearbook 2021 is a précis of the protagonists behind the scenes in an impressive illustrated book—a new standard work for the fashion industry.
