In a lavish gala evening with the who's who of British Fashion present British Vogue celebrated 90 years of influence. The American edition began in 1909 when American tycoon Conde Montrose Nast purchased a social sheet called Vogue and decided to turn it into a fashion handbook.
In 1916 it was introduced into the British market at a time when women were becoming more independent. It soon thrived and became the world's window on European fashion.
Vogue has always led the pack of glitzy fashion magazines by remaining relevant and staying away from simple minded subjects like 40 ways to satisfy a man in bed or how to loose 10 pounds before the weekend.

The Sun quoted a source as saying that,
“It's all about wearing really classy clothes in a different context. He is keen to dress her and work with her."
