Honored to be the first poet EVER on the cover of @voguemagazine , & what a joy to do so while wearing a Black designer, @virgilabloh . This is called the Rise of Amanda Gorman, but it's truly for all of you, both named & unseen, who lift me up ðð¦
Love,
Gorman is Vogue
USâs May cover star. Writing about the cover on Twitter, Gorman said she was âhonoured to be the first poet EVER on the cover of Vogue [and] what a joy to do so while wearing a black designer Virgil Ablohâ.
In an Instagram post the Louis Vuitton designer said that the dress Gorman was wearing in one of the cover images (there are two) was âinspired by this photo my Ghanaian Mom gave me of my grandmotherâ.
