A Front-Row Seat to Fashion’s Revolution
The 1990s didn’t just change fashion—they flipped it on its head. Disney+ is about to peel back the curtain on exactly how, with the six-part In Vogue: The 90s docuseries dropping September 13, 2024. Fashion insiders know the ‘90s were explosive, but for anyone not glued to the catwalk, this series promises to bring all the color, chaos, and celebrity drama of the decade to your living room.
This isn’t just a talking heads recap. The series draws in the big guns: Anna Wintour, the iconic editor-in-chief who ruled Vogue with her legendary bob and sunglasses; Edward Enninful, whose sharp eye helped change attitudes and open doors; and creative forces Tonne Goodman and Hamish Bowles share their takes on what really happened behind the glossy magazine pages.
The episodes unfurl like a photo album you wish you’d kept from back in the day. There are candid chats with Kate Moss, Naomi Campbell, and Linda Evangelista—names that practically defined beauty in the ‘90s. But this time, it’s all about what happened off the camera. Kate Moss gets real about her awkward, rollercoaster ride through fame, while Edward Enninful breaks down what it took to bring new faces and new ideas into an industry not always ready for change.
From Runway Rebellion to Pop Culture Power
Each episode zooms in on a different corner of that wild decade. One week, you’re in London, watching young designers like Stella McCartney tear up the old rulebook with punk-inspired looks. Next, you’re behind the scenes with designers like Tom Ford and Marc Jacobs, who rewrote fashion codes with one bold collection after another.
There’s plenty of name-dropping—think Kim Kardashian, Victoria Beckham, Gwyneth Paltrow—but what’s fascinating is how they became household names through fashion’s new obsession with celebrity. When stars started showing up at events like the Met Gala, fashion week was no longer just for fashion people. Suddenly, everyone cared what (and who) you wore.
Of course, the series tackles fashion’s deeper ties to music, with Mary J. Blige sharing how hip-hop became inseparable from style. Designers borrowed streetwear and attitude from artists, and fashion finally felt accessible and relevant to more than just the super-rich or super-thin. Hollywood’s integration, too, shook things up; now, a movie premier didn’t just set box-office records but also fashion trends.
Viewers will get a peek at those headline-making Calvin Klein ads, the push and pull of style between east and west, and the drama as the Met Gala soared from niche fundraiser to global event. ‘In Vogue: The 90s’ doesn’t shy from addressing the controversies and the moments when bold new directions brought backlash—or broke new ground.
It’s not just a nostalgia trip, either. Underneath the glitter, the docuseries digs into how the ‘90s forced the fashion world to look at who gets to have a say, whose faces are celebrated, and how identity started shaping style. With stories from editors, models, designers, and musicians all in the mix, Disney+ serves up both the front-row glamour and the raw moments that made the decade unforgettable.
