I worked in fashion forecasting and I think that helps in being an editor because I love to know what's next, and I like to predict. I like to predict the trends going into the shows and normally I've organized all of our stories before we go. Fashion is my second language.

Nobody wants to be the same as anybody else.

I want technology to work for me, and my readers. People get confused that technology comes first. The ideas come first. You need to use the medium.

I was always a great believer in starting at the top. I really think that focusing on a career and working your way up is way way way overestimated.

It's just as important to let go and let somebody do what they're best at and other times, I'm very determined to get exactly what I know we need. It's that balance.

When you put an image on the newsstand, you have literally two seconds to get somebody's attention. Often, with many of the subscriber covers, they're far away and the thing that catches your attention more than anything on the newsstand is eye contact.Because you've got a smaller image, and sometimes a darker image, often it doesn't stand out, as much as a traditional newsstand cover, which is why we continue to do right for newsstand.

I think it's a very shallow thought to think creative people can't do business. I am as proud of the fact that our magazine has a commercial success as I am that we're a critical success. I want people to realize that I'm very strategic in how I run Bazaar.
