THE first documentary series to go inside British
Vogue will air on BBC Two in 2016 to celebrate
our centenary year.
"I am delighted to be working with Lightbox on a
documentary to commemorate our centenary," said editor-in-chief
Alexandra Shulman. "We have never previously agreed to allow the
cameras into the magazine but 100 years seems a fitting time to
demonstrate what a powerful and exciting force Vogue
is."
Lightbox, which was founded by award-winning documentary
making cousin duo Simon and Jonathan Chinn - responsible for
Man On Wire and Searching For Sugarman, was
commissioned by Maxine Watson, the BBC's acting head of documentary
commissioning, to produce the series. Richard Macer (in association
with his company Platform Productions) takes on the role of
director, while Katie Buchanan will serve as executive
producer.
"This is a fantastic and unprecedented opportunity to get
to the heart of the UK's fashion industry and look at its impact
globally," said Simon Chinn. "There will be big characters,
compelling storylines and plenty of glamour, but we also want to
explore some important questions about the role fashion plays today
in Britain and the world beyond."
