Who We Are
Glossy by Nina-Sophia Miralles
Founder & CEO
This book is the biography of the world-famous fashion magazine Vogue. I learned how the magazine was started, what challenges it had, how it helped the people while simultaneously being someone's worst enemy. But most of all, I learned, through Vogue's female editors-in-chief during the turn of the previous century, how fashion has always been a way for women, who weren't allowed to have expertise anywhere else, to express themselves, take power, and weaken chains they have been bound in for centuries.
