Fast forward three months, and the 156321184_111210351021812_198088 it is in the first place but conversation has taken on another layer. For her first Vogue cover, youth poet laureate Amanda Gorman wears an alternate version of the look styled by contributing editor Gabriella Karefa-Johnson. Reimagined as a flowing gown, the look has a new verve, one that speaks to Kente’s timelessness and the youthful exuberance of 23-year-old poetess. “I subscribe to this idea of Pan-Africanism and the idea of cultural unity that exists between [all] people who live on the continent and people throughout the diaspora,” says Karefa-Johnson. “Kente has always been a visual signifier of that idea to me—it means something to a lot of people who aren’t always spoken to on the cover of powerful magazines.”
