French Vogue: what we've learned from its 95 years on fashion's frontline

The seminal style magazine is celebrating its 95th anniversary with a special edition featuring all the requisite Vogue themes: cigarettes, nudity and the odd flash of nipple

We think our colleagues at French Vogue will take it as a compliment when we say they are one part journalistic endeavour, one part style goals. The editorial teams – led for the past five years by Emanuelle Alt, and before that by Carine Roitfeld – strut around Paris fashion week en masse, like Reservoir Dogs but in white jeans (Alt era) or black pencil skirts (Roitfeld era). To look “very French Vogue” is the ultimate #goals.
