Grace Mirabella’s life, legacy, and her contribution to women’s fashion resound throughout the fashion world

Unlike Vreeland, who was known for her theatrical, avant-garde style, Mirabella embraced the sparing and sensible. In 1971, Condé Nast unexpectedly fired Vreeland, and Mirabella was appointed as her successor. According to Vogue, Mirabella was known among peers like former fashion editor Jade Hobson as having a “reader-focused” approach, as well as a businesswoman-like affect, and she wanted to turn Vogue into a magazine for working women.
In the ’80s, the tides turned against Mirabella: Theatrical fashions made a comeback, and rival publications, namely American Elle, cropped up. In 1988, Condé Nast fired Mirabella without warning, and hired Anna Wintour in her place. In 1989, Mirabella partnered with Rupert Murdoch to start her own fashion magazine, Mirabella, geared toward women over 40. The magazine was financially unsuccessful, and went defunct in 2000.
