1 1 y separately published work icon Tongue in Chic Kirstie Clements , Carlton : Melbourne University Press , 2013 6495983 2013 single work novel

'Following in the stiletto heels of her bestselling The Vogue Factor, Kirstie Clements' Tongue in Chic is a witty and salacious expos of the world of glossy fashion magazines - a tell-all by the ultimate insider. True events revolve around the fictitious Chic magazine, where an average day involves counting calories (preferably other people's), masterful justification of spending half an annual salary on a blue fox fur, and keeping a kohl-lined eye on the competition. Tongue in Chic delivers an eye-opening account of all that is tantalising and addictive in the crazy world of high fashion.' (Publisher's blurb)

1 1 y separately published work icon The Vogue Factor : From Front Desk to Editor Kirstie Clements , Carlton : Melbourne University Press , 2013 6495895 2013 single work autobiography

'In May 2012 Kirstie Clements was unceremoniously sacked after thirteen years in the editor's chair at Vogue Australia. Here she tells the story behind the headlines, and takes us behind the scenes of a fast-changing industry.


'During a career at Vogue that spanned twenty-five years, Clements rubbed shoulders with Karl Lagerfeld, Kylie Minogue, Ian Thorpe, Crown Princess Mary, Cate Blanchett, and many more shining stars. From her humble beginnings growing up in the Sutherland Shire in Sydney to her brilliant career as a passionate and fierce custodian of the world's most famous luxury magazine brand, Clements warmly invites us into her Vogue world, a universe that brims with dazzling celebrities, fabulous lunches, exotic locales and of course, outrageous fashion.


'Amidst the exhilaration and chaos of modern magazine publishing and the frenzied demands of her job, Clements is always steadfast in her dedication to quality. Above all, she is always Vogue.' (Publisher's blurb)
