Munroe Bergdorf

Two transgender models, **Jari Jones** (29) and **Munroe Bergdorf** (32), both featured on their own cover of the September issue of **Teen Vogue**, with the headline ‘what is fashion now?’. Teen Vogue [tweeted](https://twitter.com/TeenVogue/status/1303672853208932353?ref%5Fsrc=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E1303672853208932353%7Ctwgr%5Eshare%5F3&ref%5Furl=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.cnsnews.com%2Farticle%2Fnational%2Fmichael-w-chapman%2Fteen-vogue-promotes-transgender-women-september-cover&ref=scenemag.co.uk) it wanted to centre women ‘at the heart of fashion’ who were often ‘left out of the conversation’. It continued Jones and Bergdorf are ‘trailblazers’.

Bergdorf, who is also a writer and broadcaster, told Teen Vogue she had embraced the label ‘activist’. On her [official website](https://mbergdorf.com/?ref=scenemag.co.uk) she states: *“I believe passionately in inclusivity for all, no matter your race, ability, religious beliefs, sexuality or gender identity. I believe we should always stand up for what we believe in and call out acts of injustice when we encounter them.”* Teen Vogue referred to her as a ‘powerful, unstoppable force’. Munroe Bergdorf’s [debut book](https://twitter.com/MunroeBergdorf/status/1285199853522386946?ref=scenemag.co.uk) *Transitional* is out in 2021.

Jari Jones

Jones, who was the face of **Calvin Klein’s** 2020 Pride Campaign, [told](https://twitter.com/TeenVogue/status/1303692536230350849?ref=scenemag.co.uk) Teen Vogue she hoped she could inspire young queer people. On her[ Instagram](https://www.instagram.com/p/CE6rLcQDZD8/?utm%5Fsource=ig%5Fembed), she wrote it was a dream come true to have a Teen Vogue cover in her ‘authentic skin’. Both Jones and Bergdorf are advocates for the **Black Lives Matter** movement.

Both women have been [congratulated](https://twitter.com/MsIsisKing/status/1303726137961377792?ref=scenemag.co.uk) for their ‘powerful covers’, and Teen Vogue have been [praised](https://twitter.com/philscully/status/1303720756468219904?ref=scenemag.co.uk) for bringing trans narratives into the spotlight.
