Rebecca Wang supports Vogue 100: A Century of Style in honor of British Vogue’s 100th
anniversary on February 8th.
In honor of their 100th anniversary as one of the most prestigious and influential style, fashion, and
culture magazines in the world, British Vogue hosted a black-tie dinner on February 8th at London’s
National Portrait Gallery. Rebecca Wang supported the event, all proceeds of which will be going to
the National Portrait Gallery in London.
Supermodels old and new graced the celebration with the presence, including Lily Donaldson, Jerry
Hall, Karlie Kloss, and Jordan Dunn. The prestigious event featured an exhibition of over 280
photographs commissioned by British Vogue over the last century, showcasing some of the most
iconic photographs and photographers to ever bring their flare to British Vogue. The works of such
renowned photographers as Mario Testino, Tim Walker, Nick Knight, Cecil Beaton, Irving Penn, David
Bailey, and many more were on display at the event, and will remain on display as part of the Vogue
100: A Century of Style exhibit at London’s National Portrait Gallery.

past, but also looking forward to further creativity and innovation from the magazine.
“The influence that British Vogue has had on fashion and entertainment over the last century is
unquestionable, helping to elevate London as one of the leading fashion capitals of the world,” she
commented. “Fashion is an outward expression of creativity, so Vogue’s work has had a huge impact
on fashion sense and style.”
“I think celebrating the magazine’s past makes their future all the more exciting,” she continued.
“British Vogue will undoubtedly continue to be in the vanguard of the style and fashion scenes in
London and across the world, and I’m excited to see creativity and innovation from them.” Rebecca
Wang continued her patronage of fashion and the arts with her support for this event.
The exhibition’s curator is Robin Muir, a contributing editor to British Vogue, and Patrick Kinmouth is
the designer and artistic director for the exhibit. The Vogue 100: A Century of Style exhibit will be
