EDITING FASHION: If it's in vogue, it's in Vogue.

Our Editing Fashion project has made the hallowed pages of Paris Vogue (nice layout, Mr Baron!). We're not sure the story's title, 'Le FREAK, C'est CHIC', quite reflects the 'inclusive, celebrating all types of beauty' message Galliano has assiduously argued his show intended, but we guess there's no accounting for...
