As a fashion enthusiast with a penchant for the 90s, I must say that the upcoming Disney+/Hulu docuseries, “In Vogue: The 90s”, has me absolutely thrilled! To have Anna Wintour and Edward Enninful at the helm of this project is nothing short of a dream come true. Their combined experience and insight into the fashion industry makes for a compelling tale that I can’t wait to unravel.
As a devoted admirer, I’d have to say that if there were four women whom it would be a dream to gather in one room, they’d be Kate Moss, Hillary Clinton, Nicole Kidman, and Naomi Campbell. And among the few individuals who could make this happen, none stand out more than Anna Wintour and Edward Enninful.
Stars from Vogue magazine giant team up as both actors and executive producers for a new docuseries, titled “In Vogue: The 90s“, available to stream on Hulu in the United States, and on Disney+ in the U.K., Ireland, and various other countries.
Renowned fashion editors Tonne Goodman and Hamish Bowles, joined by other influential figures in the industry, share their unique perspectives on the evolution of fashion over the past decade. This documentary series delves into the fashion world’s connections with film, music, and politics, showcasing key events such as the Met Gala and iconic magazine covers, offering a captivating look at the industry’s transformation throughout this period.
In the six episodes, Amber Valletta, Andrew Bolton, Baz Luhrmann, Camilla Nickerson, Carlyne Cerf de Dudzeele, Catherine Martin, Claire Danes, Claudia Schiffer, Donna Karan, Elizabeth Hurley, Grace Coddington, Jean Paul Gaultier, John Galliano, Gwyneth Paltrow, June Ambrose, Kim Kardashian, Linda Evangelista, Marc Jacobs, Mary J. Blige, Michael Kors, Missy Elliott, Miuccia Prada, Stella McCartney, Tom Ford, Tommy Hilfiger, Vera Wang, and Victoria Beckham are among the notable figures who make appearances. Other significant contributors include…
Wintour, always donning her distinctive sunglasses and short, blunt-cut bob, clearly recognized a great deal of promise in the series. This private individual is not one who typically seeks the limelight. As stated by Enninful, the previous editor-in-chief of British Vogue and the first Black person to hold that position, Wintour played a significant role in the documentary’s creation, as discussed with The Hollywood Reporter. “Anna doesn’t engage in many activities,” Enninful shared, “but the profound transformation in the ’90s was so significant that it was impossible to overlook it.” Wintour collaborated extensively on the project, serving as an executive producer alongside Enninful, Tonne, and Hamish. Every aspect of the production was closely scrutinized by all involved.
Anna made the call to feature celebrities on Vogue’s covers, a move that significantly transformed the fashion industry during the ’90s. Thus, she plays a crucial role in ’90s fashion history. To tell the story of the ’90s without acknowledging Vogue’s impact would be incomplete, which is why we all wanted to contribute to this narrative.
Enninful stated that they, including Wintour, Goodman, and Bowles, exchanged comments on each episode. He clarified, “Everything was handled according to the Vogue method.” In other words, no decisions were made impulsively. Instead, every aspect, from the cover art to the episodes, was thoroughly discussed multiple times. And this, he added, is a testament to Anna’s meticulousness.
As a gamer, let me share a personal tale about a character named Anna. There were certain gameplay scenarios involving her where my moves didn’t work out as planned, and the level or mission failed, leaving me utterly disheartened.
As a passionate gamer immersed in my virtual world, I can relate to the dedication and love we all have for our craft within the pages of Vogue. When things don’t go as planned, it’s like hitting a game-over screen – it’s disheartening, but we’re creators, and that’s what makes it so painful. However, Anna, our fearless leader, never harbors resentment. Instead, she encourages us to shake it off and focus on the next level. It’s like she says, “Reset and let’s keep pressing forward.” This resilient attitude is something unique about Anna that not many might know.
Exploring Fashion’s Finest Hours: The ’90s Revisited offers a journey through some of the century’s most iconic fashion milestones. This includes the groundbreaking Calvin Klein ad starring Kate Moss and Mark Wahlberg, John Galliano’s meteoric rise at Givenchy and Dior, as well as the profound impact of the global HIV/AIDS crisis on the creative community worldwide.
Goodman points out that social media plays such a significant role in our lives, influencing our actions whether we realize it or not. He remarks on the timeliness of the documentary, stating that social media has caused events to unfold at an alarming pace, making everything seem too fast. He finds it refreshing that this documentary condenses what happened over a decade into a single viewing, allowing people to comprehend, appreciate, and learn about these developments.
Enninful shares this belief about the educational value of the documentary. He expresses, “I want it to teach people.” He also wishes for it to amuse them. The documentary will remind people of a period when we didn’t have social media yet, but somehow managed to live and keep the media thriving.
A significant aspect of the documentary lies in the surge of supermodels like Linda Evangelista, Kate Moss, Naomi Campbell, and others. Initially models who gained fame later, unlike today’s personalities such as Kim Kardashian or Kendall Jenner who have ventured into fashion after gaining popularity on television. This suggests a growing intertwining of fashion and celebrity.
Enninful points out, “Indeed, we no longer operate in isolation.” He recalls a time when fashion shows were attended solely by editors, observing the events and reporting on them. However, today, he notes, Kim Kardashian is just as likely to be seen at shows, sitting alongside Anna Wintour. This indicates that various industries are now blending or influencing one another.
As a devoted admirer, I can’t help but express my appreciation: “It’s truly amazing to me when different industries complement each other. To me, Kim, Kendall, Gigi, and Bella are the faces of their generation, much like Linda, Naomi, and Christy were for their time. They serve as powerful symbols, embodying a unique era in fashion.
The series “In Vogue: The 90s” will debut exclusively in the U.K., Ireland, and certain countries through Disney+, while it will be available on Hulu for viewers in the U.S. The premiere takes place this Friday, with the second half following a week later on September 20th.
The show is jointly produced by Raw and Vogue Studios. Liesel Evans, Jonathan Smith, Helen Estabrook, Sarah Amos, Mark Guiducci, and Agnes Chu serve as executive producers on this project.
