British Vogue Today
British Vogue’s current editor-in-chief is Alexandra Shulman, who took the reins in 1992. During her time as editor, the magazine has drawn more than a million readers. Shulman is especially known for developing collector’s issues of British Vogue, such as the ‘Gold Millennium Issue’ where celebrities and supermodels such as Kate Moss can be found on the cover. Shulman is also praised for her use of up and coming photographers like Mario Testino.
The editor has also become known for her attempt to change the face of fashion. She has pushed designers to stop using 'size-zero' models. Shulman stated that "super-skinny models are no longer acceptable," receiving positive notes from women all over the world.
Today, British Vogue has become quite modernised. On the magazine’s website (vogue.co.uk) there are more than 25 fashion blogs on beauty, fashion, and culture. You can also find VogueTV which features recent fashion videos from catwalks to interviews with models and designers.
