There was a time when becoming an editor-in-chief was the ultimate job in editorial:
"It feels very optimistic to know that there are chapters, as opposed to an ending."Welcome to Career Week! While we always make career-focused content a priority on Fashionista, we thought spring would be a good time to give you an extra helping of tips and tricks on how to make it in the fashion industry.
That's not to say setting out with the goal of nabbing that coveted title isn't still admirable. Something to consider, though, is that many former editors-in-chief never set out to lead titles; they were people with a passion for creating something unique and for nurturing ideas. Kim France, founding editor of Lucky, was approached by Condé Nast about an idea they had for a shopping magazine — an idea that was very appealing to her.
Ultimately, the role is also about being a public face of the brand, which means throwing and hosting parties, attending fashion shows and dinners, courting advertisers, making television appearances and living the brand 24/7 — all on top of leading a team in the face of shrinking budgets and rising expectations. It's the kind of pressure for which it isn't always possible to prepare.
When Wells was pushed out of her role at Condé Nast, she immediately picked up some consulting work and wrote for both The Cut and Hearst, in no small part thanks to the reputation she had built for herself in the 25 years she spent at the helm of Allure. But after lining up some work, she headed west to California for a week of re-centering. "I just wanted to hike and be in nature and kind of just take a deep breath," she says.
Holley's time as an editor-in-chief helped prepare her to run a tech startup in a variety of ways. "Leading a team and having a mission, getting people motivated to get to that goal, has been really easy because that's what magazines did," she says. "It wasn't easy in magazines; it's pretty rough. The industry was experiencing pretty historic changes. We had to be committed and not be fearful about what was around the corner — that's helped a lot.
