Alexandra Shulman, OBE (born 1958), is the editor-in-chief of the British edition of ''Vogue'', and also the longest serving editor in British Vogue history. She took the helm of ''Vogue'' in 1992, presiding over a circulation increase to 200,000 and a higher profile for the publication. Shulman is one of the country's most oft-quoted voices on fashion trends. In addition to her work with ''Vogue'', Shulman has written columns for ''The Daily Telegraph'' and the ''Daily Mail'', as well as published a novel. Born into a family heavily involved in the journalism profession, Shulman is eldest of three children by film and author critic Milton Shulman and writer Drusilla Beyfus, who herself was a contributor to ''Vogue'', among other publications. Shulman began working at Condé Nast – ''Vogue''s publisher – upon joining ''Tatler'' in 1982 under the editorship of Mark Boxer. ==Early life== Alexandra Shulman was born in 1958, the daughter of the late drama critic Milton Shulman and the writer Drusilla Beyfus. She has two siblings, Nicola and Jason. Her sister Nicola married Constantine Phipps, 5th Marquess of Normanby in 1990 and has written a biography of Tudor poet Sir Thomas Wyatt. Her younger brother Jason was formerly an art director for glossy magazines but is now a sculptor.〔 Whilst Alexandra was growing up, the Shulman family lived in Belgravia and she attended St Paul's Girls' School. The thought of following her parents' career paths did not appeal to Shulman. Instead, she expressed an interest in becoming a hairdresser,〔 or working in the music industry, saying: "Nobody believes me when I say it's not what I thought I was going to do. But my heroines were singers like Joni Mitchell, Patti Smith or Carly Simon. I didn't think about whether they wore Chanel or not". Shulman studied social anthropology at the University of Sussex.〔 In 1980 she graduated, receiving a 2:2, later recalling herself being "in tears". In the following months, she became an assistant at an independent record label, enabling her to move out of her parents' flat.〔 However, she was sacked after a short zime. She then took on a role in the artists and repertoire department of Arista Records which did not last very long, either. 〔 After this foray into the music business, she became a secretary at the now-defunct ''Over 21'' magazine.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Alexandra Shulman」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
