[@Arborverden]

People are criticizing this woman, however, I believe she is doing her best. She was obviously a little camera shy, but many designers are. Their job is to dress the models for the camera, not the other way around. In addition, the pace at British Vogue is naturally slower than American Vogue, so that's just normal for her.

[@RapunzelinOttawa]

Yes, these documentaries fall flat on their fact when there's no editing, no real theme or point of view, just fact/on/fact. It's like a safety film from school days.

[@averythompson2810]

While I love learning about all aspects of British Vogue, I found watching this similar to watching Catriona and Fleur from AbFab!

[@lauramarlen8795]

i don't find her voice annoying at all :(

[@thecitizenjoan]

Laura Marlen I know right I love it

[@albertsiochimarasigan6105]

@@thecitizenjoanshe’s a very beautiful British fashion vogue editor. For British teen vogue magazine.

[@marienerissa-davis9607]

Lool

[@Garglicious]

Now i have breathing issues ! Hahahahahaha

[@elisiaw5515]

Best comment! what a numpty!

[@campbellalbertina]

LOL!

[@21whichiswhich]

I love her haircut.

[@tictocmm]

I love her accent. She's so posh with a touch of East London.

[@abeautifulcountry9353]

I really can't hear any East End to her accent at all.

[@AndulairahOfEarth]

totally going to save the world

[@caerulea0]

When has a playwright or a poet ever been on the cover of vogue? ever?

[@bellasundstrom4933]

A magazine does not just contain a cover, there are quite a lot of pages with written pieces that are accomponied by photographs.

[@kerrya2128]

West- end London one of the best places to be😍❤️I loved & enjoyed to attend the London fashion weeks really miss it ❤️👍

[@prensadhileaproducci]

Desde Argentina thank you for sharing

[@user-fb6cw6cb2i]

0:51 that's Matt Dillion on the 2nd picture frame on the top. He's wearing a hat. So cool to see him here.

[@businesscompany9292]

great Accent dear .saleem sulaiman from Dubai

[@labanna__]

What an awesome job.

[@magnhorme9478]

It is complitely not awesome. It is really hard and extreamly stressful every day.

[@its_gabs]

@@magnhorme9478 like every other job in the world

[@kels777able]

Reminds me of the movie, "The Devil Wears Prada." In regard to her job description.

[@breznevolaso4090]

That's one of my dream job- to be a fashion editor.

[@TheSLme]

She is very young!

[@cheerboy511]

The 1:50 hairflip. Lol

[@leilagomulka5690]

Incredible.

[@celinepetipont6548]

I want to live in her life

[@babenexttdoor]

I can’t stop staring at her haircut gorgeous

[@regentstreettv]

Great and insightful video.

[@zombie1246]

It does sound weird but I think she means as in people they're photographing for stories about them, not as a blank canvas for editorial. :)

[@michellevenutti1148]

Real people - actresses, poets and playwrights, real people.

[@AnnaLVajda]

She just means the people who buy and wear the clothes she has poet customers I'm sure. Poets can like fashion too and actresses etc. As opposed to the models who just wear the clothes for a shoot and wear what they are told REAL people refers to those who really wear the clothes in their daily life.

[@Nanomakashi]

So she literally just said models aren't "real people"

[@KAFaye-nk5tl]

So rude ugh. Why the hell man

[@aaronying4989]

Models aren’t really real people. They are posing a fantasy that is set up by cameras. They don’t represent real life people. Like actors on a movie. They are played by people but they are like telling stories or themes.

[@davidd3625]

They aren't, most of the time in the industry they're just viewed as expensive clothing hangers. The focus isn't meant to be on them, it's meant to be on the clothes

[@raykeegan3226]

clear

[@caitlin72726]

Does anyone know the name of the model shown around 6:12? I can't remember and love her look

[@electrictwilight]

Suki Waterhouse.

[@Abused_Peanut]

Oh my god why does she drag out every word??

[@LucySkandal]

I have a question: do I have to study at UAL to get to work for Vogue ?

[@baliksupper6043]

No,you just have to be a posh white girl!

[@Zincink]

I feel sorta bad for spacing out mid-way

[@Buxtonnes]

hold on... bleghhhhhhherrrggg. thank you.

[@caerulea0]

fair play, but still I rarely read articles concerning such people.

[@harrietpalmann8450]

Oh no. Her voice is really annoying. Also LOL 'real people'. Get Caitlin Moran on your front cover and I might be more interested.

[@DaughterOfChrist1997]

Baby Suki Waterhouse!!!

[@nicolareddwooddforest4481]

Thank you so much for caring. Subscribed. Thumbs up. I wrote the letter to Anna Wintour. I wish deeply that she cares.

[@raykeegan3226]

well i need

[@marjalopes5126]

If anna like it, I like it

[@gregdahlen4375]

interesting although I wish it had been made in english ha ha

[@Sunfadedlovejaded]

I want to work there too. Models, models, models... Oh wait I do work at Vogue

[@derrickwilliams331]

For many years they have shown absolutely NO Diversity in their Publications,In the way of Photographers,Models Designers etc.

[@RapunzelinOttawa]

Ha ha...flat on their 'fact'. I should be a poet!

[@Carducci1959]

The vogue woman essencially is a sophisticated, elegant creature, do they exist anymore? Who are they?

[@tictocmm]

I think she meant rather 'not models'

[@laufingdexter4833]

What kind of major should I choose to get a marketing job?

[@Lolalai]

Business. Then you will get the bigger picture and how marketing fits as a function in the wider environment of a company. It would also make you more employable and you will be guaranteed a higher salary than this Emma babe

[@hamansutra]

She's so Sweet. Meauuu

[@tynanify]

it's not fake

[@stumpali]

Noawrt shoawwn ohhn the catwaeerk

[@tictocmm]

They travel by bus? I'm positively shocked

[@twiggy2905]

Her accent isn't annoying or anything..

[@RunWayUnderground]

If you think they're F heads than why are you watching this video or care? It's those fashion F heads who ensure that over 25,000+ people in NY and other cities have jobs (supporting the fashion industry) and, therefore the economy.

[@albertsiochi4079]

I do have over 20 subscribe vouge magazines in my room

[@mairathorn3331]

I couldn't understand the process

[@aaronying4989]

I couldn’t understand at all what was going on during the whole thing LOL

[@DanielQuijano4]

1:50 Did she really tilted her head, flipped it with her hand (holding a cigarette) and drank her coffee?

[@aaronying4989]

She’s holding a pen, not a cigarette lol. But yea it looked very acting and exaggerated

[@dianamuneke5360]

If the sun is out thats not super early 🙄

[@josieolivia97]

Is that Francisco Lachowski's girlfriend? If not they look very similar..

[@KAFaye-nk5tl]

Working with "real people" rather than the models or actress themselves. Right..... 😏

[@hanawana]

omg bby suki

[@DancingDeity]

why is that?

[@larab2685]

Oh Hoity Toity Lah dee dah.

[@Maya-rz6zr]

Omg

[@OfficialVoltons]

[@i123456987654]

[@lucasgracia2051]

british vogue is the 2nd most boring vogue right after vogue us

[@labanna__]

Wrong, Australian Vogue is pretty dull these days...

[@bluepavilion82]

Lucas Gracia they are all boring to be honest, i actually don't see the point of buying them, there are much better indie magazines much more interesting

[@marjalopes5126]

+Lucas Gracia for say the trurth, i really like brazilian vogue. In my opinion, is one of the bests

[@gregdahlen4375]

what do you think of north korean vogue?

[@aubreeaidyn1691]

labanna that's why I don't read them I read JAMO magazine

[@philippbircher3415]

Really? The moment when she drinks her coffee while talking on the phone and smoking a cigarette makes you wanna slap her. Fell better now? No worries, just phantasies, I am a pacifist.

[@aqua4eva]

Uhh I hope you realize that's a pen, not a cigarette...

[@Annikadiecoole]

it's a pen.

[@tictocmm]

Soo weh prepping a shioot for a fea-tah...

[@user-bs3uc8ry2r]

[@rvggarcon]

Yes, the masses, not truly chic women.

[@eladbari]

[@LevLykligt]

Vapid.

[@johannesbols57]

"There is something about fashion that can make people very nervous." - Anna Wintour

[@luball416]

Editor of Vogue, this woman? She is a walking contradiction. For instance, her presentation is bellow average , with a name like vogue and a position like that how do you look like you rolled out of bed? . If I saw her on the street I would of thought she was recuperating from an illness. Just saying.

[@luball416]

Further explain your point, why would I be "wrong " and "shallow"? You lack clarity and precision in your statement to begin with.

[@luball416]

See, your comment is driven by your emotion and assumption and not by what I actually stated. You replied by defending yourself " She looked pretty ok to me" I did not say she was ugly, I stated that "she looked like she rolled out of bed". Thus meaning she simply looked very under dressed. My judgement is based off the image that vogue markets to its audience and consumers. In other words if this girl works for Vogue, one can easily imply that that should reflect on her presentation. If I appear to be critical and harsh, so is vogue and the fashion world. My judgment is held by the standards they appear to want to hold. So who are you trying to defend?, Your deteriorated point? Or your impulse to comment and what you emotionally feel and asume?

[@luball416]

Well, I have to give you this. You do a great job putting your foot in your mouth. And a fine job at humiliating yourself.

[@luball416]

Yet you continue to respond my dear.. lol. xD

[@labanna__]

I actually love her style. Her hair is lovely.

[@nicolareddwooddforest4481]

The real elegant creature is the person who does Not wear fur and I am going to ask Anna Wintour to remove real fur advertisements.

[@32446]

Good luck with that. Anna W loves fur.

[@decontrole]

This was painful to watch

[@fuuuuuuuism]

actresses aren't really, real people

[@caerulea0]

Now every time I come back to read a comment this woman seems more and more irritating

[@yoan26sept]

Why the fake POSH ACCENT???

[@raymond8897]

I can't think of a more DRY life! No thank you. It just seems SO terrible dull!

[@gradusm]

She is very dull. Perhaps this is why vogue is not as exciting as it could be...

[@sizomahlangu5938]

Where are the black peoples ?

[@Tokuushi]

Honey, it’s Vogue!

[@aaronying4989]

It’s British Vogue. They don’t do black ppl lol jk

[@TheTripstraps]

why is she so skinny? she is underweight. and I do not understand fashion, it does not make any sense, why would I wear something someone else thinks is beautiful? it would be same as adapt others thoughts and way of life, not being able produce my own. fashion is laziness. everyone should create their own style.... also in fashion should be more details from ones roots. use details of ones national clothes.

[@rvggarcon]

She basically does nothing all day, but she's probably lower on the list of people in charge. You don't exactly turn to vogue for the most cutting edge things happening, it's more of a magazine for housewives.

[@stumpali]

This is pre-Edward hence why so bland

[@hucklewis1546]

oh spare me the utter banality of her talking
