The world’s two biggest fashion editors came together last night for the launch of Vogue’s mega-expensive centenary book, Vogue: Voice Of A Century.
Costing a whopping £695, the book features interviews, images and illustrations from 100 of the magazine’s top contributors. Less than 2000 copies are available to buy with each one featuring signatures from Kate Moss, Grace Coddington and more.

Anna Wintour and Alexandra Shulman, the heads of US and British Vogue respectively, were pictured side-by-side at the 5 Hertford Street event, quashing rumours of their rivalry.
Suspicion around the pair’s stormy relationship has been rife ever since Shulman joined the magazine in 1992 . And the recent BBC Two Vogue documentary revealed a hidden drama surrounding both editions’ cover stars.
Rihanna, who was set to appear on British Vogue’s May 2016 cover, was seemingly pinched by Wintour for the US edition’s April issue. In the fly-on-the-wall documentary, Shulman was seen looking furious after deciding to one-up Wintour and swap Rihanna to April, meaning that both British and US Vogue had the same celebrity cover at the same time.
A spokesperson for Condé Nast commented on the saga, saying “in the case of Alexandra and Anna, the editors only have the greatest respect for each other.”
