Faux ‘Vogue’ dupes makers

AN emerging designer was nearly scammed by an elaborate con involving a fake Vogue website — and missed a chance at what she thought would be sartorial stardom.

The designer, who has dressed celebs and influencers, told Page Six she got an email purportedly from Vogue about a supposed Netflix show the mag was creating about rising designers.

The email, seen by us, reads, “Vogue is currently in the process of selecting brands for the upcoming Vogue Business Netflix Series, and we’re keen to explore the possibility of featuring your brand in our upcoming episodes.”

The message says the alleged project “adopts a captivating documentary-interview format . . . We delve into their compelling stories, their interactions with customers, and the dedicated teams behind these illustrious brands.”

The email was even connected to a very professional-looking website, VogueBrands.org (which was taken down Thursday after Page Six began asking questions).

The designer got spooked when the site started asking for money via Coinbase or PayPal.

A Vogue spokesperson confirmed to Page Six that the brand has no involvement in the “show” or site.

The site’s fashion phonies even sent a document outlining a supposed “symphony of prestigious partnerships,” claiming they’re working with entrepreneurial ABC show “Shark Tank” and cryptocurrency platform Polygon.

The designer told us she spent hours sending “my history, content, images, every collection and lookbook, videos about every employee, day-in-the-life videos, press history,” and that it was “so much jumping through hoops.” When she was alerted she’d been chosen for the faux show, she was so happy that she cried, only to wind up in tears when she realized it was all a high-end hoax.

An email then asked her to become a member of Vogue Brands for $200 with the promise of not only being featured on-screen but also to appear in the legendary fashion glossy.
