A Quote by Hamish Bowles
I was a fashion editor for years in London before I came to 'Vogue,' and I spent my life arranging the folds of a ball gown skirt for a picture and pinning fabric and using all those stylist tricks. And you don't have to do that now because they can do it in Photoshop.

With all the new media outlets out there, with all the noise, a voice of authority and calm like Vogue becomes more important than ever.
