Enter Elegance

In 1992, Vogue was, as it is today, the global fashion authority, and Anna Wintour was its already-famous leader. But an upset—to this day, the only one of Wintour’s reign— was in the offing. Just a few days into the New Year, Hearst announced they were reviving the long-comatose Harper’s Bazaar, which was once Vogue’s greatest rival. To add fuel to the fire, they were bringing in Liz Tilberis, the warm, white-haired size-twelve editor of British Vogue—and Anna Wintour’s former second in command—to lead the charge. In “Enter Elegance,” we tell the story of the editorial dream team Liz gathered around her, the super-secret September launch, and the magazine cover that shook the industry and announced the new Nineties minimalism.  Co-hosts Cynthia True and Dennis Golonka recall starting their careers at Liz Tilberis’s new Bazaar and talk to their former Bazaar colleagues, including creative director Fabien Baron and editors Paul Cavaco, Tonne Goodman, and Richard Sinnott. Plus, Linda Evangelista, Isaac Mizrahi, and Liz’s best friend, former Vogue creative director Grace Coddington.Buy Me a Coffee is a great way to support our independently produced show.
