In Vogue: The 90s —what can we expect to see in episode one?
Episode one explores the dawning of the supermodel, the mighty influence of pop icon Madonna, the meteoric rise of Kate Moss and the devastating impact of the AIDS epidemic.
The likes of Kim Kardashian, Sarah Jessica-Parker, Nicole Kidman and Victoria Beckham discuss their sartorial influences of the decade, among them pop-queen Madonna who Vogue editor-in-chief, Anna Wintour, controversially put on the cover of the magazine in 1989 when she first took over the reins. “It was time for change”, says Wintour, “under the previous leadership every cover of Vogue looked the same: close-ups, airbrushed, big hair, big earrings”.
Wintour continues: “Sometimes you just need to tear everything up and start over. I remember a plane trip where a conservative gentleman started talking to me. He said, ‘I love Vogue, it reminds me of Audrey Hepburn and Grace Kelly. It should never be Madonna.’ A lightbulb went off in my head, ‘It should be Madonna’. She was the one young people were looking up to in terms of their style icons.”
Who are some of the supermodels featured in In Vogue:The 90s?
Kate Moss, Naomi Campbell, Linda Evangelista are Claudia Schiffer among the big name super models chatting on camera and giving their take on the decade, their behind the scenes stories and the big fashion trends and influences of the time.
What does Kate Moss talk about in In Vogue: The 90s?
Episode one sees Kate Moss discussing her meteoric rise to fame in 1992 after being selected to shoot alongside famous rap star Mark Wahlberg (aka Marky Mark) for a Calvin Klein campaign.
“I was really nervous”, recounts Moss, “I was 18 and still felt like a girl from Croydon and he was a big superstar rapper. They asked me to be topless and there were a lot of men on set. I did feel vulnerable. Calvin was clever, he had an instinct of what young people wanted to see.”
Who are some the famous designers contributing to the series?
Stella McCartney, Vera Wang, Tom Ford, John Galliano, Tommy Hilfiger and Marc Jacobs are amongst the prominent designers sharing their insights, influences and experiences of the decade.
