“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 unleashed an international recession. In fashion, this led to an abrupt halt of the Eighties excess, and designers began to sober up.
A smorgasbord of fashion aesthetics emerged: from unfussy minimalism to grunge girls to Destiny’s Child Y2K wanderlust. There’s no doubt (cue Gwen Stefani) how influential this decade was for fashion, culture and identity.
Today, Disney+ has dropped a new trailer for a documentary detailing what the fashion industry was really like during this transcendental decade.
Launching on September 13, In Vogue: The 90s, tells the twisted story of fashion and fame through the eyes of Vogue editors Anna Wintour, Edward Enninful, Hamish Bowles and Tonne Goodman.
Accompanied by icons of the decade such as Naomi Campbell, Claudia Schiffer, Kate Moss, Victoria Beckham, Elizabeth Hurley and more – the documentary explores fashion, film and politics – as it crosses boundaries both creatively and internationally, exploring the rise and globalisation of American fashion.
From Hollywood to Hip Hop to the Met Gala, the six-part series centres upon the decade’s most defining moments. With features from John Galliano and Sarah Jessica Parker to Kim Kardashian and Hillary Clinton; the series promises to give unprecedented insight into a whirlwind decade of style and substance.
Volume I (episodes 1-3) of In Vogue: The 90s launches exclusively on Disney+ on September 13, ahead of Volume II (episodes 4-6) on September 20
