The End of an Era For British Vogue

Today is the beginning of the end of an era for British Vogue, as today I woke up to the news that Alexandra Shulman will step down as editor-in-chief for British Vogue in June, after 25 years. Ever since I've read Vogue, or even been alive for that matter, Alexandra has been in charge, so it's hard to imagine the whole situation changing.

This year, the magazine celebrated 100 years, which included an exhibition at the National Portrait Gallery, a special centenary issue featuring the Duchess of Cambridge, Kate Middleton, and a BBC documentary 'Absolute Fashion: Inside British Vogue'. That means that Alexandra has been editor-in-chief for a quarter of Vogue's life and I think that's pretty impressive and something that she should be incredibly proud of.

“It has been very hard to find a rational reason to leave what is unquestionably a fascinating and rewarding role but last autumn I realised that I very much wanted to experience a different life and look forward to a future separate to Vogue." 

 - Alexandra Shulman. 

Although it will be hard to see change within the magazine, change is already set to happen for the Conde Nast company overall, and I'm sure it's all for the best, but whoever's next will have some big shoes to fill!
