Led by Kaylene Peoples and published by KL Publishing Group, AGE OF POWER is an editorial study of artistry, resilience, and enduring influence. This collector’s edition from AGENDA invites readers into a sophisticated journey through fashion, culture, and creative legacy. It honors visionaries whose work reshaped ideals of beauty, strength, and purpose across generations.

 

The issue highlights Kevan Hall, Kim Novak, Anna Wintour, Lyn Slater “Accidental Icon,” Lana Ogilvie, and Lisa Lu. It also recognizes the lasting impact of renowned designers Alber Elbaz, Thierry Mugler, Issey Miyake, Vivienne Westwood, Valentin Yudashkin, Roberto Cavalli, and Giorgio Armani. Together, their contributions illustrate a global narrative of style defined by evolution and endurance.

Runway features span Paris, Vancouver, and Los Angeles, photographed by Arun Nevader. The Black Design Collective’s Denim Upcycling runway and competition is showcased, presenting sustainable innovation and the work of designers such as Kutula.

The cover story, led by Shahada Karim, spotlights women over forty in the fitness and wellness space. Their presence challenges conventional standards, demonstrating that vitality and beauty are strengthened by experience.

Additional content includes an exclusive piece with Michael Feinstein, insight into Kevan Hall’s Spring Summer 2026 Look Book, a commemorative tribute to AGENDA co-founder Lee L. Peoples, and visual art by Susan Steinbarth, Meryl Toan, and Kim Novak. Features also extend to model and entrepreneur Dr. Cindy Banton, the Family Search project, and an exploration of notable Books to Film adaptations that continue to inspire contemporary creativity.

Rich with editorial reflection, photography, fashion retrospectives, and cultural commentary, AGE OF POWER presents fashion as a form of philosophy. It reveals that authenticity, artistic clarity, and confidence grow more profound with time.

A refined and definitive edition, AGE OF POWER serves as both tribute and statement, affirming that true style, and true power, are timeless.

“Working on Age of Power was profound. It was four years in the making, shaped by legacy, marked by the Pandemic, and filled with countless hours of rewriting. In the end, it came together. Of all the issues I have produced, alongside AGENDA: Special Edition 3 ‘Untraditional Bride’ and Collector’s Issue 3 ‘Changemakers,’ this one proved particularly challenging. With an exceptionally talented team and an unending source of inspiration, it aligned with purpose. Closing with designer tributes, and the unexpected inclusion of my mother and co-founder, made it deeply personal. Age of Power was challenging but definitely fulfilling.” — Kaylene Peoples
