Vogue Editors on Career Advice, Office Culture, and Fashion Evolution

In the latest episode of The Run-Through podcast, Vogue editors Chloe Malle, Chioma Nnadi, and Nicole Phelps hosted an Ask Me Anything session, answering questions from the Vogue app and Summer School students. They emphasized that enthusiasm and curiosity outweigh credentials, with Malle advising graduates to explore all aspects of an industry rather than narrowing interests early. The discussion covered shifts in office culture post-pandemic, including looser dress codes and the rise of sneakers over heels, which they linked to broader fashion trends like Phoebe Philo's Birkenstock era. The editors shared personal "I made it" moments, from first magazine covers to being recognized by listeners, and reflected on conversations with designers Virgil Abloh and Matthieu Blazy about staying connected to wonder and street culture. They also touched on nostalgia, trend forecasting, dream dinner parties, first bag purchases (including a lime green Kate Spade shopper), and the resurgence of the drop waist. The episode concluded with an invitation for future AMA questions.
