TLDR

It’s nothing fashion aficionados don’t already know, but it’s fun, starry, and nostalgic nonetheless.

What it's about

This six-part series examines and re-lives the revolution of ‘90s fashion, covering everything from the rise of supermodels and the controversial “heroin chic” to the undeniable impact of music and Black culture on fashion.

The take

This docuseries doesn’t say anything particularly new about the ‘90s, but that doesn’t make the journey to the past less fun and fashionable. The filmmakers behind In Vogue, seemingly aware of their limited knowledge, compensate substance with stars. There are too many celebrities to count here. There are tastemakers like Hamish Bowles, supermodels like Kate Moss and Linda Evangelista, actors like Gwenyth Paltrow and Sarah Jessica Parker, and of course Anna Wintour herself, all breathlessly recounting the revolution in ‘90s fashion. Maybe it’s just nostalgia, or a credit to the exhilarating way the documentary is edited, but the decade does come alive here and makes a convincing case for how it changed the game. Suddenly, red carpet fashion is a thing, models are instant celebrities, high fashion is synonymous with pop culture, and minorities are slowly but surely gaining recognition for their influence in setting trends. If anything, In Vogue is a pleasant way to pass the time. Not all that demanding or challenging, but an interesting reminder of the way things were.

What stands out

It’s only a matter of time before we start romanticizing 2000s fashion, but I don’t think I can handle the return of skinny colored jeans and baby doll dresses over cropped leggings.
