I have to say, I was saddened as much as anything. When did dressing up for fun get lost? I work in the antithesis of the arts, the legal sector but my Gen Z colleagues (and I) use clothing as expression. Poor Vogue needs a few of my junior lawyers 😂
I understand to some degree the ease and simplicity of uniform dressing but surely there should have been something in the article about how they elevate the oversized shirt etc, that would have made the article of inspirational value.
I so agree! The whole point of Vogue is to promote the joy of clothes and fashion, so this article was so at odds with that and, I thought, insulting to the readers and the advertisers. In the pages of the magazine they encourage us to spend ££££$$$$ on clothes and accessories - but they don't bother!
An entertaining read as ever Maggie but a truly shocking one...The girls at Vogue are representing the magazine. Is that how they dress when they go on appointments? I'm surprised more than anything that Ms Wintour hasn't sent round a swift message telling them how they need to dress for work! Imagine if she turned up in a big sloppy shirt and worn out flats...She surely can't approve. I'm sure Miranda Priestley would have had a conniption.
ohhh office attire has changed. I was shocked to see Gen Z staff turning up in onesies, what appeared to be pajamas, midriff looks and attire that could even be described as 'deranged'. Thrown-on is the word. And the attitude is: take me to HR if you have a problem, just TRY and fire me. Vaping in the office but then denying it...I can't even. Granted, I don't work for a fashion organisation, but it is a professional environment.
And this is why I no longer subscribe to Vogue, after being rusted on for close to 40 years! I think it goes part way to explaining why the magazine isn't what it was.
I know times change and fashion is a forever moving feast, but I no longer related to anything printed on the page. I no longer found those one or two pieces I would sell a body part for. Even the advertising wasn't the visual feast it used to be. I kept all my Vogues and every couple of years would donate them to a local fashion school (I live in Melbourne Aust) where (hopefully) they inspire a whole new crop of designers and fashion industry participants.

Totally agree Maggie. What on earth is the point of working in an organisation, the values of which you neither share nor respect.
