For most of the twentieth century, high fashion depended on print magazines to define taste, launch trends, and build cultural authority. Titles like Vogue, Harper's Bazaar, W and Elle shaped the industry’s direction. They controlled the conversation and set the pace. Today the landscape is very different.
