Stuff Fashion People Like #10 Super Giant Sized Issues of Vogue
Edited by Saynt
The release dates of the spring and fall fashion editions of Vogue are like mini Christmases (or days 9 & 10 of Chanukah for Jewbie fashionistas) to every fashion person. These two issues contain more trend reports (ads), celebrity interviews (movie ads) and ground-breaking editorials (ads with words) than any other magazine in Conde Nast’s arsenal of glossies. Two to three days following the release (also known as the dark days) the streets will be devoid of any fashion people, since all will be reading through page after page of poignant commentary on fashion (ads) from the world’s top editor/ad salesman, Anna Wintour.
The reason for the issues continued success is cause these special editions of Vogue normally contain an unsurmountable collection of editorial fashion spreads (ads). The fashion spreads (ads) are filled with the looks that fashion people must wear for the new season in order to keep up the the current trends. Anna Wintour’s devotion to fashion (the bottom line) ensures that each of these giant-sized issues remain timeless tomes to our current place in fashion (aka as disposable as an H&M dress).
In order to understand the true power of the giant-sized spring and fall issues of Vogue, you must be at the newstand the day it arrives and lug it’s 85lbs of printed goodness home with you. At home you must light the candles in your Anna Wintour shrine (if you haven’t built one yet, get on it before a fashion person arrives at your home and reports your heresy to the CFDA). Then lay in bed (be sure your bed can support the extra weight) and begin flipping through the pages taking special note of editorials (ads) and how they are laid out in the magazine. This will give you ample talking points when “the dark days” are over and all fashion people return to the streets wearing the new uniforms assigned by Vogue.
Statements like “I love how Wintour laid out that Gucci ad with their resort collection on the page before the Armani spread for their new perfume. How daring!!!”, will garner you respect and admiration amongst fashion people so be ready to have a few of these set for conversation. Remember, Vogue is the closest thing fashion people have to a bible, so it’s important to give it the respect it deserves by picking up each edition and spending all you money on the designer goods featured in it’s pages and pages of spreads (ads).
