It was one of the first American fashion magazines to put a black woman on the cover, in August 1968: Katiti Kironde, a Harvard student who was the winner of the magazine\u2019s \u201cbest-dressed college girls contest,\u201d which became \u201ccollege women of the year\u201d and included Diane Sawyer, Martha Stewart, Curtis Sittenfeld and Tamira A. Cole.<\/p>\n
After all, it\u2019s not as if there\u2019s no history to talk up. Glamour occupied a very specific place in the landscape of women\u2019s fashion magazines for a very long time. That\u2019s why many readers took to social media in the hours after the closure was announced to mourn its print demise. It \u201cfeels like my teenage self is getting a golf club to the back of the knees,\u201d went one post.<\/p>\n
\u201cEnd of an era! My mom was always a subscriber (then so was I) I thought it was the quintessential fashion mag that was still accessible to women in diff economic backgrounds,\u201d went another.<\/p>\n
If Vogue was about aspiration in a dreaming-of-fabulousness way, Glamour made substance and hard work stylish. It may have been born Glamour of Hollywood but quickly moved on from that to calling itself just plain Glamour \u2014 the magazine \u201cfor the girl with the job.\u201d (That was in 1943.) It combined fashion and politics, that high\/low frivolous\/serious duo, long before Teen Vogue existed. It put an emphasis on accessible fashion before Zara and H&M were invented.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
