Paper Tigers: Women Who Shaped the Fashion World – from Marie Antoinette to Anna Wintour
Fashion, Art and Culture Series
Editor and lecturer: Yaara Keidar, art curator and fashion historian
Vogue magazine and its editor-in-chief, Anna Wintour, are links in a magnificent chain of fashion magazines dating back to the Elizabethan period. Our lecture will delineate the fashion magazine's trail, from a small, neglected newspaper column to weighty volumes that set the Western World's fashion agenda.
Here is an invitation to an analytical page-turning to visit the system's corridors and get to know the Chief Editor's elusive role and the printed magazine's future in the internet age. As per the current atmosphere, we will discuss fashion's place in wartime, resisting plague-related governmental dictates, and how they are manifested on the chromo pages.
