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.
