Fashion is taking over...

All we will have left to look at are pretty pictures. French Vogue has 727 pages of advertising these days! Can one of these pages have one of my photos on it please? How many pages are 'other'?

Welcome to Fall 2007, where Ford the modeling agency is as important as Ford the car. Where the Euro reigns supreme over the dollar. Where Juicy means couture more than a type of chewing gum. Where fashion, not grunge, Rocks, as proved by Condé Nast's growing four-year program. Where Fashion Week in New York is as "American" as Speed Week in Daytona. And where beauty and fashion are skin deep and magazine humongous.

When we began min's "Fall Preview" review on July 12, 1993, the fashion-advertising "universe" was mostly confined to Elle/Harper's Bazaar/Vogue (W was then changing from trade to consumer), and combined, their September issues carried 949 ad pages. Fourteen Septembers later, the sum is 1,485, and with W's 477 (all record-breaking), the total is 1,962.
