British Vogue has released a braille edition of the magazine for the first time in its 107-year history.

The May issue of the publication has also been made available in audio format to increase access for blind and partially sighted people.

Edward Enninful, the editor-in-chief, wrote on Instagram: “The Vogue team and I are delighted by the response to the May issue, but what the process of making it taught us is that what’s most important are tangible and lasting changes.

“Vogue and the fashion and publishing industries have a great deal to do still, but it makes me very happy to see the arrival of these first braille issues today.”

Titled Reframing Fashion, this month’s magazine focuses on disability justice, accessibility and pride.
