British Vogue has announced a wave of new appointments including influential make-up artist Pat McGrath, model and activist Abwoa Aboah and beauty entrepreneur Charlotte Tilbury.

The announcement is further proof that a new era is underway for the British fashion magazine, as incoming editor-in-chief Edward Enninful continues to reshuffle the existing team to add more people with real world experience in the industry rather than pure journalists or stylists.

He previously announced that Naomi Campbell, Kate Moss, and Steve McQueen would join the publication as contributing editors, and now has revealed further high profile appointments.
