Even if I'm completely unsure, I'll pretend I know exactly what I'm talking about and make a decision.

I want 'Vogue' to be pacy, sharp, and sexy - I'm not interested in the super-rich or infinitely leisured. I want our readers to be energetic executive women, with money of their own and a wide range of interests. There is a new kind of woman out there. She's interested in business and money.

To be in Vogue has to mean something

One wants to be surprised.

Fashion goes in only one direction -forward- and I am a firm believer in thinking that way too.

It's not so much about powerful women. In some cases, there are stereotypes about women. I often don't hear men talked about in the same way. It's more a sexist stereotype than a powerful stereotype.

Fashion is a reflection of our times. Fashion can tell you everything that's going on in the world with a strong fashion image.
