Following in the stiletto heels of her bestselling The Vogue Factor, Kirstie Clements’ Tongue in Chic is a witty and salacious exposé 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.


Kirstie Clements began working at Vogue Australia in 1985, rising to editor-in-chief in 1999, a position she held until 2012. She co-authored In Vogue: 50 Years of Australian Style, and her bestselling memoir The Vogue Factor was released in March 2013.
