Anna Wintour Shares Candid Insights on Working for Vogue in the ’90s

“The Nineties turned the fashion industry upside down,” says former British Vogue editor-in-chief, Edward Enninful. In 1989, the Black Friday stock market crash triggered an international recession, causing a significant shift in the fashion industry as the excessive styles of the Eighties came to an abrupt end. Designers began to show more restraint, and a variety of new aesthetics emerged.

The era saw the rise of minimalism, grunge, and a wave of other distinctive styles. There’s no doubt that this decade profoundly influenced fashion, culture, and identity, offering a rich tapestry of evolving trends and statements.

Today, Disney+ released a new trailer for an upcoming documentary that delves into the reality of the fashion industry during this transformative decade. Set to launch on September 13, “In Vogue: The 90s” chronicles the fashion and fame of the era through the perspectives of iconic Vogue editors Anna Wintour, Edward Enninful, Hamish Bowles, and Tonne Goodman.

The documentary is enriched with insights from fashion icons such as Naomi Campbell, Claudia Schiffer, Kate Moss, Victoria Beckham, and Elizabeth Hurley. It delves deep into the interplay of fashion, film, and politics, highlighting the creative and international expansion of American fashion during the Nineties.

The six-part series spans the decade’s most defining moments, from the glamour of Hollywood to the rise of Hip Hop and the splendor of the Met Gala. Featuring voices like John Galliano, Sarah Jessica Parker, Kim Kardashian, and Hillary Clinton, the series promises an unprecedented glimpse into a decade brimming with both style and substance.

Volume I (episodes 1-3) of “In Vogue: The 90s” premieres exclusively on Disney+ on September 13, with Volume II (episodes 4-6) following on September 20.
