Interviewing UK Vogue EIC - Alexandra Schulman

She recently interviewed the fascinating EIC (Editor in Chief) of UK Vogue: Alexandra Schulman. Here's the transcript that I've copied and pasted directly from the blog post:http://www.vogue.co.uk/blogs/yasmin-sewell/2013/03/an-evening-with-alexandra
When Vogue approached me asking whether I would like to interview their editor, Alexandra Shulman, I knew it was the perfect opportunity to have a girlie chat with a woman seriously in the know.
So last night, down at the west-end Brompton club after a delicious dinner, we got down to business. With an endless list of questions I wanted to ask her it was hard to know where to start, but Alex was incredible to interview - so honest, open and witty.
Alex told us about her younger years, her numerous jobs in the music industry and her real true love for music. She also admitted that online shopping isn't particularly her thing and while she recognises there is a huge demand for it, she noted that it doesn't necessarily work for everyone. For her it's sizes and fit which don't match up. She even admitted having trouble with grocery shopping online and disasters with frozen peas.
Alex chatted about her book Can We Still Be Friends and mentioned that while some of the characters are purely fictional, others relate to people she has known and worked with along the way. She told us about her ability to rise early in the morning and how she found the time to write a book, be a mum and be the editor of UK Vogue - all at the same time.
When it comes to shopping, Alexandra is at home in Notting Hill's The Cross Boutique and she confirms that for her the world won't be turning completely digital - it's all about the sensory experience.
Later, we spoke about her initial footsteps into Vogue and her fearless attitude that enabled her to never be scared of the unknown. She admitted to always having a confidence in her abilities and eagerness to learn and grow. I guess that is something most of us can relate to, that even the editor of Vogue at one point was learning too, but it's the confidence and trust within ourselves that sets us apart.
Honest and sincere, it was an absolute pleasure to gain a deeper insight into her fashionable yet real life. You're a superstar Alexandra.
