Longest serving Editor in Chief of British Vogue
First female editor of GQ in the UK
Sunday Times bestselling author and columnist

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.
