Powerful women, who lifted as they rose, inspired SS20's collection. The late Winnie Madikizela Mandela's fists, which fought for not only her own life but many others, are the motif on the Womandla Dress.

The photographer of Davis' cover said that it's "a re-creation of the Louis Agassiz’ slave portraits." However, the Zealy daguerreotypes don’t focus on the backs of its subjects.

My biggest complaint with this cover is that Biles' backside is foregrounded. How many Vogue covers have you seen that feature a person's name slapped across their posterior?
