Vogue just gave another nod of approval to the tech world

Vogue World is expanding to San Francisco, reflecting the growing cultural influence of tech leaders in fashion and media. The article highlights the increasing presence of tech executives at high-profile fashion events.
Why it matters
The intersection of tech wealth and cultural institutions like Vogue signals a shift in the social status and public image of Silicon Valley figures.
Vogue World is coming to San Francisco next year — perhaps another indication that tech billionaires have become leaders in the fashion zeitgeist.
Of course, the announcement of the enormous fashion/art/music event doesn’t say that. Instead, Anna Wintour wrote that Vogue believes in celebrating cities and “San Francisco is a city like none other.”
“It’s a place of diverse communities living side by side, a place that loves the arts, loves creativity, and isn’t afraid of change.” She also noted the city’s history of rebelliousness and innovation.
“I love that San Francisco has always stood up for values and the things it believes in,” Wintour wrote. “Vogue World will support San Francisco’s creative minds and strengthen the entire ecosystem — and it will offer another opportunity to show San Francisco is on the rise.”
