The Vogue Factor: the Inside Story of Fashion's Most Illustrious Magazine
“For my first ten years at Vogue, ready-to-wear shows were not on the agenda for me, as they were reserved for the editor-in-chief and the fashion director only.
In the eighties and early nineties, for a country as small as Australia there were also very few invitations to go around, even for a Vogue title. Nancy Pilcher and Judith Cook had spent many seasons with a great deal of standing only tickets, and on occasions would even sneak into shows. That’s what the fashion-obsessed did, and still ...do. Standing tickets were almost impossible to get for the really big shows, and the security at the door may decide at the last minute not to let you in at all. Most of the “standing” was done outside, pleading with the cravat rouge (the doormen wearing red ties) to let you in. It’s a kind of rite of passage when finally you get a ticket and there is a seat attached. If a label doesn’t sell in your country, it’s more than likely that you will only receive one ticket, or not be invited to the show at all.MoreLess
