On account of that, it had to be big and boisterous. The show was also a celebration of the magazine’s 130th year. Although staged in New York, it was live-streamed to the rest of us nowhere near that part of the city. It described Vogue World as a “first-of-a-kind event” and a “global” one. That Vogue would stage an event down here on streets that could be high heels’ enemy, rather than at some place glitzier and carpeted is perhaps indication that the magazine is making itself-and the brand-a lot more accessible. Much of the streets here are paved with cobblestones made of Belgian blocks. It did eventually happen last night (New York time) on a street in Manhattan’s Meatpacking District, a now-“glamourous” hipster neighbourhood (its name gives you an idea of what it was before) that is sandwiched between Chelsea to its north and the West Village in the south. Not even the venue was disclosed (was it even an IRL event?). Even Anna Wintour was mum about Vogue World: New York, as it is called, only hinting in the recently shared video 73 More Questions with Anna Wintour that it would involve lots of clothes, so much, in fact, that it required the “ Vogue army” to organised them. On the Vogue website, there was a black-and-white digital clock that had been ticking for days, counting down to an event that the brand/magazine did not describe in detail, possibly so that curiousity about it could be kept burning.
