A 27-year-old Chinese Australian fashion influencer has been named editor-in-chief of Vogue China to a extent that experts can serve as a positive and comfortable international relationship at a time of increasing tension between Canberra and Beijing.
Margaret Zhang, who was born in Sydney and grew up in the suburbs of West Ryde, is Vogue’s youngest editor; has never published a magazine.
Zhang presented a successful fashion blog at the age of 16 and worked as a brand representative to enter the Chinese market, adding Airbnb and Mulberry. It has 1. 2 million fans on Instagram.
Anna Wintour, Global Editorial Director of Vogue, believes Zhang can expand the magazine’s success in China some 16 years after releasing an edition in the country.
“Her experience abroad, exceptional cross-platform virtual experience and varied interests are the best combination to take Vogue China into the future,” Wintour said.
Li Li, managing director of Condé Nast China, the editor of Vogue, praised Zhang for his understanding of the “emerging trends of a new generation of Chinese. “Zhang has collaborated in the past with Vogue in China, generating and appearing in two covered derivatives.
“We welcome their creativity and innovation in defining new media approaches and look to the future to bring global fashion to China as we introduce Chinese culture to the rest of the world,” Li said.
In pronouncing her appointment, Vogue described Zhang as “a cover presence” of fashion shows around the world, highlighting her brightly colored dyed hair logo, which lately is a “bright blue tone,” and her “minimalist but eclectic. “Style.
Describing his for Vogue China, Zhang said that “there is a lot of context about China’s loss. “
“It is often perceived as this monolithic entity, as opposed to a country of innovations,” he said.
“Vogue China has a massive platform for about these Americans not only the world, but also their own citizens. There is a great opportunity to defend local skill – in film, music and fine arts, in addition to fashion – and bring them worldwide because it is such a recognizable and reliable brand. “
Zhang’s rise in fashion came while studying law and business at the University of Sydney, where he cared about campus life, and joined student camps at law school.
