Job Description
The foundation of Vogue’s leadership and authority is the brand’s unique role as a cultural barometer for a global audience. Vogue places fashion in the context of culture and the world we live in — how we dress, live and socialize; what we eat, listen to and watch; who leads and inspires us. Vogue immerses itself in fashion, always leading readers to what will happen next. Thought-provoking, relevant and always influential, Vogue defines the culture of fashion.
Vogue Runway’s Fashion News Writer is a critical and creative thinker who is always looking ahead to what’s next in the industry. This person will review collections at Fashion Week, as well as during the pre-collection seasons; produce seasonal trend reports; pitch and write daily fashion-related stories for the website and bigger think pieces connecting fashion to the broader culture; and collaborate with Vogue’s newsletter and social media teams to promote Vogue Runway content.
As the leading online destination for fashion shows, industry news, trends, and fashion features, Vogue Runway’s motto is to “see fashion first.” Candidates should have a deep knowledge of fashion and keen instincts for the next big thing. They should be comfortable scouting and meeting with new designers, building relationships with fashion PRs, and gathering contacts to inform future stories. Fluency in the online fashion conversation is a must. This person should be adaptable and highly collaborative, as they will work closely with Vogue Runway’s team in New York as well as with the broader Vogue team and contributors around the world.
In addition to being fashion-obsessed, the fashion news writer should be a culture hound who is up to date on news and trends across film, tv, music, and the arts; interests in sustainability technology, and fashion’s social impact are also encouraged.
