Letter from The Editor
I always say Glamour’s mission is that we’re for a young woman’s whole real life. We have a very particular fashion point of view and we’re there for her through her fashion obsessions, her beauty obsessions, but we are also interested in all the other parts of her life. Glamour is really meant to feel like the conversation that women have when they’re at their brunch table together, when guys aren’t around and you’re talking about, “Oh my god, look at your shoes,” and “Ugh, what should I wear at my job interview tomorrow?” But you’re also talking about career aspirations, how to deal with your awkward boss and, of course, all the wicked gossip of your dating life. I had always loved fashion as a kid — as a girl I remember when I would be driving through Washington, D.C., I’d play this game with myself where I would look at people on the street and try and work out how, if I could take one item of clothing from each person, I could turn it into an outfit. It was like my own little reality show. But I didn’t really come to magazines really through fashion so much as through journalism. While glamour modeling may reduce the risk of models developing eating disorders and the related health and emotional problems, it does present a different risk which may be more prevalent in glamour modeling and photography than in fashion. Some could blame it on the more provocative wardrobe or posing but regardless of the reason, sexual assault is something that all models need to be aware and cautious of. It is for this reason that I would encourage both models and photographers to NEVER shoot without a “creative team”, which should at the very least include a make-up artist but preferably also a stylist, set designer and several assistants. It should go without saying that this process encourages quality over quantity, producing the best possible results.
I am sure you will find all the content in this issue intriguing and hopefully it will make you question some of your set thoughts about glamour modeling and photography.
