This is easier to define. A fashion editor’s job is to deliver a vision of the fashion industry according to the tone and viewpoint of a certain magazine. They might style shoots or they might write features about trends or the people who make the industry, whether models and designers or photographers or stylish women. Historically, key editors held the front row positions – a marker of their importance – but they now share these seats with influencers and bloggers alike. A fashion editor will either be tied to one particular publication, for which they work exclusively, or be freelance and contribute to multiple different magazines, newspapers or websites.
