Alexandra Shulman CBE spent 25 years shaping one of the world's most recognisable magazines, bringing a rare combination of cultural authority and personal candour to questions of identity, leadership, and how we present ourselves to the world.
Alexandra led British Vogue from 1992 to 2017, becoming the publication’s longest-serving Editor-in-Chief. During this time she expanded Vogue’s digital presence through Vogue.co.uk, Vogue Video, and the Vogue Festival. She previously worked as a journalist on Tatler magazine, as Women’s Editor on The Sunday Telegraph, and became the first female editor of a monthly men’s magazine when GQ launched in the UK in 1990. Today Alexandra is a Mail on Sunday columnist, bestselling author, and former trustee of major cultural institutions, including the National Portrait Gallery. She holds a CBE for services to magazines and an OBE for services to fashion journalism.
Alexandra's talks combine insight from fashion, publishing, and media with honest reflections on confidence, reinvention, and personal identity. Drawing on decades inside one of the world’s most influential magazines, Alexandra explains how culture, image, and leadership have evolved across generations, and why authenticity matters more than polished perfection. She speaks with warmth and clarity about navigating career change, public expectations, and modern womanhood.
Audiences leave with a sharper understanding of cultural trends, leadership, and the relationship between identity and self-presentation. Her sessions also offer practical reflections on adapting to change, building confidence, and maintaining perspective in high-pressure industries.
Book Alexandra for thoughtful, culturally informed conversations that connect leadership, identity, media, and modern life.

No. PepTalk adds no booking fee, so you pay the speaker's fee and nothing beyond it. The service, from shortlist through to contracts and event-day logistics, is included. For repeat or multi-event bookings, PepTalk can agree preferential rates with your procurement team.
Share your event date, audience, format, objectives and budget, and PepTalk sends a hand-picked shortlist within 24 hours. Each suggestion comes with a profile, a fee and a recommendation on the strongest fit. Once you choose, PepTalk handles contracts, travel and logistics through to event day.
The typical fee range is the speaker's standard in-person fee in their home market, shown in their local currency. It moves with format, location, date and session length: virtual sessions and shorter slots usually cost less, while international travel and peak dates cost more. Send your brief to PepTalk and the team will confirm the exact fee in your currency.
Not all of them, and it makes no difference to your booking. PepTalk's network of 15,000+ speakers covers talent the team works with directly alongside speakers represented by agents and agencies worldwide. PepTalk approaches the speaker, negotiates the fee and handles contracting either way.
Three to six months ahead is comfortable for most events, and 12 months is better for large conferences, peak-season dates or one specific in-demand speaker. Shorter timelines are workable, and PepTalk regularly fills last-minute and replacement bookings within days. Availability is the constraint, so get in touch as soon as you have a date.
