“I can say unequivocally that the disabled… community [has] taught me almost every honourable quality I now possess,” says the actor Selma Blair, who was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis in 2018, and is considered one of the 19 dynamic stars featured in British Vogue’s May 2023 issue, which is guest edited by author and activist Sinéad Burke and celebrates a latest vanguard of disabled talent. Watch the film in full to go backstage on the set of the duvet shoot, and listen to more from the celebs, including models Ellie Goldstein and Aaron Rose Philip, and Justina Miles, the American Sign Language interpreter who rocketed to web fame due to her performance at Rihanna’s Super Bowl Halftime Show.
