The war of the fashion magazines: in the pick ups
A magazine war has taken hold of Britain's
capital. Vogue, Pop, and Dazed & Confused have all formed rival DJ gangs
(the Voguettes, the Popettes, and the Dazed Invaders) that are playing to
well-heeled crowds across London.
Casting circulation figures aside, it's the music that dictates who's nosing
ahead of the competition. Last wednesday (7th of May) saw two of the competing DJ troupes, the
Voguettes, who've already been booked to perform at Glastonbury, and the Dazed Invaders, go
head-to-head at designer Henry Holland's club night, Fash Bash 2. "Fash Bash is all about having fun," he beamed from the dance floor,
while his friends—designer Francesca Versace, Sophie Ellis-Bextor, and the
denim clad, ponytailed Scarry sisters—formed a ménage of plaid and oversize
bows in the background.
