Vogue Netherlands closes
In an Instagram post to the publication’s official account, Vogue Netherlands editor-in-chief Rinke Tjepkema announced that the Dutch magazine would be shutting down. “I write this with a heavy heart, but also filled with pride of the entire, amazing Vogue team and so many happy memories,” she wrote in the caption. “In the past ten years, we’ve seen a generation of fashion talent reach international success through Vogue, built a loyal following of fashion fans and organized countless events. The Vogue brand has a magic and power that opens doors, and it was truly special to be part of that. I would like to thank the Vogue team, and everyone who has ever contributed to the magazine. But most of all, I would like to thank you. For reading the magazine, following us online and for visiting our events. Only because of you were we able to become such a household name in the Dutch media landscape. I hope you enjoyed Vogue, we have loved every minute of making it for you. Until we meet again.” {Instagram/@nlvogue}

In the June/July 2021 issue of Harper’s Bazaar, Jessica Matlin and Jenna Rosenstein spotlight women who have begun dyeing their hair in bold colors, like blue and pink, as they’ve gotten older. “All of these women are so liberated — they have conviction in who they are and what they love,” Aura Friedman, the colorist who worked on the accompanying photo spread, shot by Coliene Rentmeester, told the magazine. {Harper’s Bazaar}
