Barnum meeting Florenz Ziegfeld and together they hatch a fashion show, and you’ll get the idea.
Like the Met Gala, Vogue World, which was previously held in New York and London, is a live expression of Vogue’s power and an effort to position the magazine as an arbiter of influence, culture and people.
Like the Met’s annual fund-raiser, it involves great eye candy, in terms of both clothes and celebrity.
Unlike the Met, however, anyone who can afford a ticket, or wants to watch the livestream from afar, can get inside.
Can be part, that is to say, of Vogue’s world.
