“I am very much looking forward to working with these friends and colleagues on their ideas for upcoming issues.”

Moss, who has previously been a contributing fashion editor at British Vogue, and Campbell have both been models since they were teenagers, while McQueen’s film 12 Years A Slave won the best picture Oscar.

She was the breakout star of a documentary about the magazine, The September Issue.

Last month, acclaimed stylist and photographer Venetia Scott was appointed fashion director of British Vogue.

Scott is taking over from Lucinda Chambers, who announced her departure from the role after more than 35 years.

She will take on the role from July 10, shortly before Enninful takes over as editor.

British Vogue celebrated its centenary last year.
