The fashion world is cutthroat, but the finale of Blacked’s epic crossover series, In Vogue 2, just proved the bedroom is where the real power plays happen. Rising star Ashby Winter has officially stolen the spotlight in the fifth and final installment, delivering a performance that has everyone talking—and for good reason.
A Show-Stopping Performance
Directed by the acclaimed Julia Grandi, the In Vogue 2 saga has woven a dramatic tale through Vixen Media Group’s top studios—Blacked, Tushy, and Vixen. The series finale, which dropped on June 12, centers on Winter, who takes her career to a bold new level with her first-ever double penetration scene alongside Dimitri Shadow and Troy Francisco.
Winter was buzzing with excitement about the role and the unforgettable milestone.
“I had such a great time filming this scene. The fashion world was so much fun to play with and I absolutely loved the role. I’m so thankful to be included in one of Julia Grandi’s amazing feature productions like this. And working with Troy and Dimitri was like a dream. They made my first DP scene an unforgettable experience.”
The Director’s Cut
For director Julia Grandi, who is celebrated for her cinematic and story-driven productions, Winter’s performance was the perfect crescendo for the ambitious project. The multi-part feature boasted a massive cast, including Vixen Angels Eve Sweet and Stefany Kyler, but the finale was designed to be a standout moment.
Grandi praised the entire team’s dedication and highlighted Winter’s fearless contribution.
“Directing In Vogue 2 was a pleasure from start to finish. The cast showed up with focus, creativity, and strong performances—exactly what this project needed. Ashby’s first-ever DP scene was the perfect way to close the feature. I’m so proud of what we created and grateful to everyone who helped bring it together.”
A Trendsetting Crossover
VMG’s strategy with In Vogue 2 taps directly into a major industry trend: creating interconnected “cinematic universes.” By spanning its flagship studios, VMG encourages fans to follow the storyline across different platforms, ultimately leading them to its all-in-one hub, Vixen Plus. This model not only builds hype but also deepens fan engagement, making each release feel like a can’t-miss event rather than just a standalone scene.
Fans on social media have been buzzing about the series’ high production value and intricate plot, with many singling out the finale as a powerful conclusion. The conversation, visible across platforms like X (formerly Twitter) and Instagram where Blacked actively promotes its features, shows a clear appetite for more ambitious, narrative-driven projects.
What’s Next in the World of Vixen?
With In Vogue 2 wrapped, the bar has been set high for future crossover events. Ashby Winter’s memorable performance has solidified her status as a talent to watch, and Julia Grandi has once again demonstrated her knack for creating polished, impactful features.
As Grandi herself put it, Winter’s scene was the “perfect way to close,” leaving audiences thrilled and eagerly anticipating what Vixen Media Group—and its roster of rising stars—will dream up next.
