Strike a Pose
VOGUE Board of Directors, 1990
Strike a pose, strike a pose! Anna Wintour has just replaced Grace Mirabella as editor-in-chief of American Vogue, and the company is gearing up for the final stretch of the century. High fashion has never been more popular: The 1980s were filled with supermodel worship, the birth of the internet, and increased accessibility to clothing. With the global consumer base shifting, the economic stilts that support high fashion (or as we say, stilettos) are beginning to wobble. How can Anna Wintour ensure Vogue’s survival by the end of the century? More discreetly, how can she assert her place atop a world of sneaky social climbers and rival companies?
Wintour has rounded up executives, models, and celebrities to masterplan Vogue’s trajectory for the next decade. For three days, this cream-of-the-crop team will discuss inclusivity in fashion, marketing high fashion, and expanding Vogue’s influence.
Voguers, the path to Y2k is in your hands.
