This book looks at images of the ‘woman-child’ in British and European fashion magazines, in the period spanning 1990 to 2015. Yet, in the years that have lapsed since the conclusion of this study and the publication of the present book, the industry and fashion media have continued to evolve. One significant shift not covered by this timeframe is the change of editorial direction at British Vogue, the magazine studied most comprehensively for this project. In 2017 it was announced that Alexandra Shulman would be stepping down as editor-in-chief of the magazine, with Ghanaian-born Edward Enninful named her successor. The December 2017 issue of Vogue was the first under his stewardship, and featured British model, Adwoa Aboah on the cover, alongside a list of contributors, many of whom were people of colour. Politics, anti-racism and diversity have since become central to the vision of ‘#NewVogue’ elaborated under his direction and, as such, the magazine now looks very different from the version I studied, and critiqued, for this book.

This book has two overarching research questions: the first concerns the meaning of the woman-child, in her various incarnations, and the second concerns the possible appeal she holds for contemporary women living in the UK, following several waves of feminism. For it cannot be assumed that an image of childlike femininity in the eighteenth century, when Wollstonecraft was writing, would be read in the same way as a childlike woman today. I was therefore interested
