Vogue World is a giant and prestigious fashion show inviting all the major personalities of the moment to walk the streets of major cities, such as New York or Paris.
Over a hundred looks are styled with grace, flair, or conviction by athletes, models, actors, and singers. Each edition supports a theme that celebrates a part of the city's history. Vogue World New York was a street party celebrating the vibrant cosmopolitan streets of the metropolis. The London edition was a glamorous evening at the theater to support the city's arts and cultural organizations. In Paris, Vogue World paid tribute to sport after the successful Olympic Games. The theme of this Hollywood edition is clearly linked to cinema and its impact on culture and fashion. Vogue World has always supported local charities and communities. This year, they are committed to donating all ticket proceeds to the Entertainment Community Fund, a fund dedicated to supporting costume professionals affected by the Los Angeles wildfires.
On the evening of October 26th, the 4th edition of the event took place in the legendary setting of Hollywood. Vogue celebrated the close relationship between fashion and film, these two sectors mutually fueling each other's inspiration. The synergy is powerful, as film characters can influence the general public on a certain way of thinking, acting, and consequently, dressing. Furthermore, cinema can apply an anthropological study of society to enrich its screenplays with factual elements; trend analysis can be part of this study. Cinema and fashion are definitively inseparable, as they each need the other to remain relevant.
The Vogue World Hollywood edition offers an exciting spectacle, filled with positivity, nostalgia, and magic. A journey back in time allows guests to discover, for the second time—or the first, depending on their generation—the iconic costumes from films that have made history. Vogue has enlisted Collenn Atwood for the costume from "Edward Scissorhands," Milena Canonero for Sofia Coppola's Marie Antoinette, Ruth E. Carter for the costumes from "Black Panther," Jacqueline West for the costume from "Dune," and other designers. The film selection varies in style and genre to illustrate the unifying nature of this event and the richness of Hollywood cinema.
Among the models, Betsy Gaghan is Annie Hall, Hunter Schafer is “Orlando” (1992), Doja Cat pays homage to “Mad Max Beyond Thunderdome” (1985) and Holly Golightly is adorned with diamonds like Audrey Hepburn in “Breakfast at Tiffany’s”, Adut Akech has transformed into Daisy Buchanan, the heroine of Gatsby and Kendall Jenner becomes Nicole Kidman in “Moulin Rouge”.
In the absence of obvious inspiration, entire film-inspired styles are revisited and personalized by certain luxury brands. Innovation is a shared value of fashion and cinema. The catwalk is no longer a podium, but one of the walkways of Paramount Pictures Studios, a catwalk largely untapped by major luxury brands. However, this year, Vogue World Hollywood provided them with the opportunity to showcase their new iconic pieces. Among these pieces, some were unveiled during the last Paris Fashion Week and are accompanied by choreography and set design worthy of a Hollywood film.
Vogue World Hollywood is a joyous, lively rendezvous that celebrates the long years of work of this film set and how it has made history.
