September's Vogue is supposedly all about championing the hardships of the working (wo)man in the troubled economy. It has advice about how to shop on a budget, like mixing those super-affordable J Crew classics with Gucci boots. Hey, you could probably make an outfit for under $1000! Great.
American Vogue has faced some accusations in the past about only writing on advertiser's work. This claim was made all the more valid by a mention of EXPRESS legwear. Vogue has a typically Wolford-or-die attitude, so the mention puzzled me until two pages later there was a 3-page layout for EXPRESS. Coincidence?
