InStyle's Laura Brown On Working Her Way Up

InStyle's Laura Brown On Working Her Way Up

Taking over the reins of one of America's biggest magazines is no easy feat, but in little over a year Laura Brown has made an indelible mark as the editor-in-chief of InStyle magazine. With subjects ranging from Selena Gomez to Joe Biden, the Australian native seems to have found what makes print readers tick (and buy). And on this week's episode of UnStyled, she sits down with Refinery29's co-founder and global editor-in-chief Christene Barberich to discuss just how she does it.

If you're anything like Brown — that's to say, someone who's equal parts parts fashion obsessed and fashion savvy — then you're aware of how intimidating the fashion industry can seem. That's why at the top of Brown's list is a toolbox of emerging designers and thought provokers whose core values relate with InStyle readers on all sides of the spectrum. It's also why, compared to other magazines who continue to struggle to stay en vogue, InStyle feels more relatable than ever before. And it's why Brown, who's had an extensive and diverse career in fashion, was the perfect woman for the job.

On this week's UnStyled episode, you'll learn a lot about Brown's pre-InStyle career, which saw her in roles that required more production-based skills than her inherent taste for all things cool, and why she made the jump from Oz all the way to the Empire State. She's a fashion cat who's lived many lives, and has pretty much done it all. But if there's one thing to learn from everything the buzzed-about editor has to offer, it's that there's an unglamorous side to fashion, too. But all you need is a little dose of reality — in her preferred concoction of humor and kindness — to remind us why we fell in love with it in the first place.
