The month of September is basically like New Years in the fashion world. Every year in September places all over the world like to celebrate with "Fashion Week." Milan, Paris, and New York will all have scheduled shows for the most famous designers to show off their Summer 2010 Collections.
Also this month, magazines will be filled with their enormous September issue.
Vogue, of course being the best- aka the bible according to Anna Wintour, has gotten a lot of flack for being "the smallest September issue ever." I agree it does seem thinner and lighter than usual. They also have chosen to put the most unflattering picture of Charlize Theron ever.
This years September Issue seems just a little sad. Here are some interesting facts about the issue:
Sept. 09 vogue: 584 pages, 427 of those pages are ads
Sept. 08 vogue: 798 pages, 607 of those pages were ads
Sept. 07 vogue: 840 pages, 727 of those pages were ads
Conde Nast is feeling the hurt alright, but Vogue Publisher Tom Florio states, "we're a profitable book. not as profitable as we were in 2007, but very profitable."
I like his positive attitude in this crazy economy! Hopefully those 584 pages will show it is all about quality, not quantity :)
