When Vogue is mentioned, you think elite, glamerous and high fashion. However over the years I have started to fall out of love with the magazine, why? well as newer more innovative magazines rise up such as Wonderland,Dazed and Confused and I.D, i begin to notice that we are being fed more cuture, and learning about more up and coming designers. Unlike these magazine Vogue seems very much stuck in the past focusing heavily on well known faces and sticking to high end and arguably boring designers. However the designers that mean the most to me today are figures such as Molly Goddard who’s fashion feminism approach has people turning heads, empowring women rather than sexualising, making her work into a real art form, and creating peices that I have never seen before. Tank magazine partuculary gives you insight into so many different issues and it wants to hear from these new members within the fashion world. As many have watched the BBC documentary ‘inside of vogue’, this was a strong example of where I suddenly realised that vogue was not what I had dreamed of, instead it was an eviornment of bitterness and jealously where by young bloggers were mocked and accused of not contributing to the development of the fashion industry. However vogue are quite simply stuck in the past, unwilling to move forward, isn’t the main point of fashion that we are moving quicker than we can comprihend. As fashion moves we need the likes of bloggers and vloggers questioning and developing fashion so that we can being to see things that we have never seen before. Vogue which I used to dream of when I was younger is now no longer an option of mine, for me I do not see innovation anymore, its purely reclyed and dated which leads me to think, Could this be Vogues final years?
