Q&A with Suzy Menkes, fashion editor of the International Herald Tribune
Suzy Menkes is at most of the big-name fashion shows, and many of the ones stages by up-and-comers, around the globe. The fashion editor for the International Herald Tribune is easily recognized by her hair, as you can see from this picture.
This is a woman who can cover 180 shows in 29 days as if it were child’s play, which of course it isn’t, reports the San Francisco Tribune. Fashion critics wield power – over readers of the fashion press, over store buyers attending the shows, and over the fashion houses themselves that hope the opinion-makers will find favor with the direction their designers are going. The responsibility is large, and critics don’t take it lightly. As a result, Menkes comes across as rather serious when she’s at work.
