My folk heroes!!! With the exception of the delightful 99 year old Babs Simpson, I have followed all of these women's storied careers via their inestimable contribution to Vogue.
Last night HBO debuted In Vogue: The Editor's Eye, in commemoration of the magazines 120 years in print. The documentary, aims to answer the question, "What does a fashion editor do?".
If the editors appear stymied, its because what they do is not written or easily verbalized. They create art by choreographing and to a degree, manipulating fashion, exotic locations and their chosen models to give life and history to their often intoxicating visions.
