Anorexic models, eclectic designers and Meryl Streep from "The Devil Wears Prada" have all done their job to cause society to give assumptions to the fashion world. There have been minor looks into what this world is really like. However, none as accountable as what just came out.
The Vogue Factor by Kirstie Clements is a book written by the previous editor-in-chief of Vogue Australia. Clements gives an inside look into everything she saw while working at Vogue Australia. And she has seen a lot.
Clements started out as a receptionist in 1985 and then soared to editor-in-chief, where she stayed until 2012. The magazine, somewhat randomly, fired her from her position in 2012, when she was very quickly offered a book deal.
According to Yahoo, this book discusses things such as model eating habits and how they would Photoshop pictures. I thought what she said about altering photos was very eye-opening. Clements said they would do more alterations to make a model look less emaciated than to make her look skinny. That is certainly a scary thought!
