Don’t agree with the description of Shalom (because I am a fan of her!) but totally agree with the dress, was very impressed with that!Haha what a great description of Shalom. So true. The most interesting thing about that for me was that she did the McQueen spray dress with no real briefing or practice, just turned up and got sprayed at a major fashion event in front of an live audience. I don’t know why I’m so impressed by that, probably because that would be my worst nightmare ever
Yes, I agree! I saw her interviewed when they did a behind the scenes at British Vogue a few years back and a) no one looked happy the film crew was there and b) the interviewer was talking to Alexandra by a tree in a park and she gave really blunt answers and appeared quite rude. They are meant to be making a tv show based on British Vogue, haven’t heard much since it was announced in 2018 but still listed as in pre production on IMDb.Alexandra Shulman is a strange one.
I've heard her being interviewed a few times and she comes across as an incredibly slow thinker. Not on the ball in the slightest. Extremely vague and evasive. Nothing wrong with that at all, but so at odds with the Devil Wears Prada Miranda stereotype. If it is a stereotype.
I think some of the covers Alexandra did were great but there was too many of Kate Moss (around 30) and it became overkill. I haven’t bought Vogue in a fair few years (because it was mainly adverts) so I haven’t physically read any of Edward’s magazines but there is a lot more diversity which is a great thing. I remember when under Alexandra they did an Ageless Beauty cover and all the models were white.Enninful by a mile.Shulman only ever put Kate Moss and those aristo models on the cover.
I wish they had a British Vogue online archive like they do for American Vogue, would love to look through them all.
(Also does anyone read vogue anymore?)
