Abstract :
Grace Mirabella, editor of Vogue magazine between 1971 and 1988, was abruptly dismissed by Conde Nast when her editorial style and aesthetics fell out of style. She describes herself as someone who came to prominence during the 1970s when elaborate couture was out of style. She believes that she was vindicated after her dismissal when the publishing industry rallied to support her and she received financing for a new magazine, Mirabella, from Rupert Murdoch.
