I do recall most of the kids, myself included, believed the internet would shut down the moment the clock would tick to 00:00am 1 January 2000. The reasoning was that computers were invented pre-2000 and therefore wouldn't be able to display any post-00 numerical dates. And we went through what Kendall would today refer to as 'anxiety' because imagine something that you've always been aching to engage in as an adult being taken away just like that? Like telling a 14yo virgin no tipple and sex, ever. Needless to say, I slept through NYE (typical!) unlike everyone else who stayed up to see the technological glitch happen in realtime. Just as well, because nothing actually happened.
Of course the fervently Church of England nutters took it one step further and believed the world would come to an end. LOL. Can't believe how delusional we all were.

^ I completely forgot about the Microsoft drama (LOL) and the world potentially coming to an end.. the rumor was seen as a joke around me, but the nervous 'what if it's true' type of joke.

MANY SUCH CASES...and continues to this very day. Lots of manufactured hysteria for things that will never manifest, just like the year-2000 drama. All you have to do is look around.

The magazine issue here is wonderful. Magazines meant something then. So sophisticated and mature and adult.

Thank you so much for these snaps @JPineapple ! This issue is absolutely spectacular, Esther in that Herb Ritts story has me floored
Everything from the layout to styling and photography is so impeccably done that it makes me want to further research this specific period of Vogue Paris.

Thanks for posting, JPineapple! Still can't get over how heavily Nicolas' Balenciaga (especially towards the end) and to an extent his Vuitton relies on Martine Sitbon. It's near carbon copies if you ask me. Interesting how those who were so quick to point out other copycats never really kept the same energy when it came to him.

Eh, not the same, love. I know what you're getting at, but it's not the same. Look at this (warning: distressing footage) and tell me it's manufactured hysteria.

I thought Carine was the creative director. When she started work for them?

Not 100% sure, but according to my friend this was her first cover credited as editor in chief

It was February 2001

^Her tenure indeed started in 2001, but I always thought her first cover was February with Kate Moss.

Thanks. But I thought she worked under Joan in another position before became EIC. I really though she was creative director.

No. She was working with Testino at French Glamour and was brought on as a freelance stylist. JJB writes about Carine in her book — The Price of Illusion.

Glad I got to see that Marie-Amelie editorial, very trippy and textbook late-90s...it resembles the Prada Sport campaigns of that year.

I don't see the Martine Sitbon carbon copies from LV and I do know her work...she was very trend-chasing, so if anything it resembles the look of this particular moment. I do miss Martine, she was really good at exactly that: capturing an era in her clothes.

LV at the moment seems more Gaultier to me with its risky (and sometimes ugly) eclecticism.
