The History of Fashion Magazines, from Marie Antoinette to Anna Wintour

How did people know what was considered fashionable before the fashion magazine was born? And how did Oscar Wilde become a fashion editor? Anna Wintour and "Vogue" magazine are just one link in the glorious chain of the beautiful world of fashion magazines, which began in the Elizabethan period (!). In the lecture, we will follow the magnificent evolution of fashion magazines from small and unimportant sections to weighty volumes that set the fashion agenda in the Western world. This is an invitation to a critical look inside the fashion magazine: what happens within and outside the editorial corridors? What is the elusive role of the editor-in-chief during the upheaval of the internet age? And in the spirit of the times, we will also talk about the place of fashion during epidemics and wars and how to make room for everyone between the chrome pages.
