I find it odd that if you say “vogue” most people will know to create a box around their face with their hands, but have never seen the video that inspired such an odd dance move. Personally, I don’t really care for Madonnna’s video for “Vogue” as a whole, but it has some of the strangest, and most fascinating choreography I’ve ever seen in a video – including, the moves that inspired the famous dance move. Artistically it’s quite a historically inspired video. Many of the shots are meant to imitate Horst P. Horst, a German-American photographer for vogue and the set is inspired by the Art Deco movement. Naturally, the video was nominated for many awards and won best editing, cinematography , and direction at the 1990 MTV music awards and best video from Rolling Stone. Take a look:
Also, this is where Madonna first displayed her infamous cone-bra.
