In Vogue: The 90s (Disney Plus, 2024)

[Music] over on Disney plus arriving also on Friday the 13th of September we have a new documentary series called in Vogue the '90s and here's a clip what's the defining publication about fashion vogue vogue vogue vog V of course vogue's biggest force is Anna tour God mind a taking your sunglasses off no I'm going to wear them in the '90s everything was changing it was a whirlwind way too messy a crazy amazing astonishing time the '90s turned the fashion industry upside down I mean everybody knows Vogue Don't They and it's a sort of um pages of unobtainable Joy um that you look at and think gosh who can who can possibly um afford these wees but actually you want it sitting on your coffee table and voger has been through a bit of a roller coaster ride um and this is uh well it's there's six episodes to it firstly which kind of in a weird feel in a weird way feel this feels like a documentary but there are so many people involved I think that it would be hard to kind of squash down to your usual kind of hour or so um and this tells the story of the fashion industry during the '90s um and I suppose that interested me as well because because you know '90s was was sort of my era I suppose and um it's absolutely star studied um with interviews from you know Kim Kardashian SJP uh Victoria Beckham and of course uh the sunglass wearing Anna winto herself and um there is actually a no bath she I found her quite interesting in this actually because you kind of you you imagine what someone's actually like and you know she's obviously a a kind of fiercely um strong powerful woman but there was a bit of a joke about her um her sunglasses in one situation and she said yeah I'm going to keep on worrying them um and she kind of changed the face of Vogue um quite cuttingly for the last editor she says you know that she it needed changing it was just boring it was kind of it was it was the same it just every cover looked the same um and she put vogue vogue she put Madonna on the cover of Vogue for her first issue um in 1989 and and that was a really big deal it was controversial that you know that that sort of caused a stir but that's what she wants to do and that's what it's kind of continued to do and in a in a world of sort of declining print and um interest levels where you can get things on really any platform you want to for free um it continues it continues to thrive in its own way um and it will I think Anna winto has got something she hasn't got anything to prove anymore but she is the she's the face of that brand isn't she um and I just I don't know it I found it quite interesting and I also found interesting hearing from the top designers um who are included in there Le Stella McCartney um Jacobs hearing from them and what it means to them to be a part of something that is so big because it's quite hard to believe that you are in some cases some instances bigger than them they want you need you and you have you have that power and we've seen some incredible shoots from Vogue um as I say it's all all feels very unobtainable I don't look at it and think oh yeah I can relate to this but it is that coffee table thing where you just look at and they do do some amazing shoots with some incredible access so I from what I have seen so far I did find it quite interesting and I mean I'm sure it's quite contrived definitely in lots of places we don't see the real people I'm sure there are lots of episodes um behind the scenes that we we will never um be party to but you certainly see more than I feel I've seen before what did you thinking well I'm not particularly interesting fashion it may surprise you to hear that Hannah but I absolutely loved this and in fact I went straight onto episode to because I had enjoyed it so much it's the era of kind of the collision between fashion and the music business isn't it so there's quite a lot about that Mark Walberg did a Calvin Klein campaign and then of course they've got the George Michael video where he got all the super models he he wasn't in the video himself it was just the super models the big I think it's the big five of that time lip syncing so that was very interesting and then you've got the kind of the era of the supermodels when they became real celebrities and then suddenly in comes Kate Moss who who was recruited by Calvin Klein for a campaign and the socalled heroin Chic which was quite controversial look yeah there's lots of interesting character is in in the fashion industry and in the fashion publishing industry as you will know I particularly enjoyed the stuff about gallano and also Alexander McQueen really interesting you don't have to be a fan of fashion to get or even ever to have read Vogue to get a lot out of this I think it's really well done [Music]
