Designed for an exhibition by Artist/Graphic Designer Scott King, these were designed to provoke thought on what could happen to the industry if advertising was disregarded and the 'truth' of everyday living was shown, opposed to the luxury and wealth reflected through Vogue which most cannot afford, and only will ever aspire to have. http://www.creativereview.co.uk Picture this: Anna Wintour has resigned.

It is owned and published through Cond Nast. Anna Wintour is the current editor-in-chief and the most influencial woman in fashion magazines globally.

Image and Popularity: Political and Diversity Issues: "In 2006 Vogue acknowledged salient political and cultural issues by featuring the burqa, as well as articles on prominent Muslim women, their approach to fashion, and the effect of different cultures on fashion and womens lives. Vogue also sponsored the "Beauty Without Borders" initiative with a US$25,000 donation that was used to establish acosmetology school for Afghan women. Wintour stated: "Through the school, we could not only help women in Afghanistan to look and feel better but also give them employment." A documentary by Liz Mermin, entitled The Beauty Academy of Kabul, which highlighted the proliferation of Western standards of beauty, criticized the school, suggesting that "the beauty school could not be judged a success if it did not create a demand for American cosmetics." Leading up to the 2012 US Presidential election, Wintour used her industry clout to host several significant fundraising events in support of the Obama campaign. The first, in 2010, was a dinner with an estimated US$30,000 entry fee. The "Runway To Win" initiative recruited prominent designers to create pieces to support the campaign."
