Synopsis

The secret diary of Vogue Editor-in-Chief Alexandra Shulman and the real story behind the BBC ABSOLUTELY FASHION documentary.

'One of the great social diaries of our time . . . should become a classic.' Sunday Times

'Eye-popping, brilliantly candid' Evening Standard

What a year for Vogue! Alexandra Shulman reveals the emotional and logistical minefield of producing the 100th anniversary issue (that Duchess of Cambridge cover surprise), organizing the star-studded Vogue 100 Gala, working with designers from Victoria Beckham to Karl Lagerfeld and contributors from David Bailey to Alexa Chung. All under the continual scrutiny of a television documentary crew.

But narrowly-contained domestic chaos hovers - spontaneous combustion in the kitchen, a temperamental boiler and having to send bin day reminders all the way from Milan fashion week. For anyone who wants to know what the life of a fashion magazine editor is really like, or for any woman who loves her job, this is a rich, honest and sharply observed account of a year lived at the centre of British fashion and culture.

Coinciding with its 100th anniversary, Inside Vogue is Alexandra Shulman's record of her life at the magazine during its centenary year. These diaries are a fascinating glimpse into the realities of her day to day as the longest serving Editor-in-chief in Vogue's history: the emotional and personal strains and successes; highs, lows and fashion shows; and her relationships with famous personalities and creative talents from Kate Moss to Victoria Beckham, Karl Lagerfeld to Sir Philip Green, Alexa Chung to Rihanna, David Bailey to Mario Testino and many more. Entertaining and informative in equal measure, this book is a must-read for women and fashion fans everywhere.
