Beyoncé Knowles: The Queen B, an interview and magazine article about the fabulous life and success of 31 year old Knowles, written by Jason Gay, is a silly look inside of the busy-bodied multi-tasking woman. Though her fame has earned her millions of dollars, this detailed look at her ability to balance her musical, acting, fashion and business career along with the new role of motherhood goes to show that it is possible to be so incredibly successful while having a very in touch relationship with fashion.

This desire for the glamorous life reflects onto readers and American's in many ways-with her being one of the biggest pop sensations ever. Perhaps the most important lesson that can be extracted from this is the idea that family and responsibilities should take first priority to all other aspects of life. The deep affection for her family is in a way what drives her to being so successful. This is such a personal, needed way of life that should be positively viewed in the modern society. “I feel like I have something that has grounded me so much more,” she says. “Family has always been important. I’ve always had my mother and my father and my husband. But it’s just. . . .” She pauses. “Life is so much more than. . . It’s not defined by any of this.”

In March of 2005, Vogue interviewed Vera Wang about her overall success and productivity of her company. With her company revolving around elegant wedding dresses and accessories to follow, her industry shows just what an enormous attention to detail can do. Dabbling in many different companies-even putting in some good time at Vogue herself, she has acquired so many different aspects of business and inspiration. This work ethic is revered in America, because though Wang came from a well off family, there is no one way to automatically become a millionaire, or produce a company that is capable of such. Wang's modest disposition makes it very easy for readers and everyday people to flock to her inspired designs. “Just because you’re from a city ten miles outside of St. Paul,” she told The Wall Street Journal, “it doesn’t mean you don’t read magazines, or the incredible Internet, and what’s going on in the world. I never, ever take a client, or women, for granted." The dedication that Wang displays for the individuals she interacts with during her day are a testament to her love for her jobs.
The Vogue article Taking a Stand:
International Vogue Editors Join Forces to Support the CFDA's Health Initiative by Anna Wintour highlights a change that is trying to be enacted by fashion companies to support a positive imagine of fashion, modeling, and the misshapen idea that the only beautiful woman in this world is the skinny one. This report goes onto explain that an initiative has been taken on by many magazine companies to feature healthy looking women throughout the magazines themselves to endorse good choices. It is pointed out that some women are naturally given bodies which can be kept slim due to genetic make up-some are simply running on high metabolisms and natural athletic interests. "I've learned that when the fashion industry comes together, real and lasting good can come out of it." Many speculators would fear that Vogue is just putting on an act to suit the needs or opinions of those who do believe the negative influence that modeling has on eating disorders and an all around self esteem problem. The article reassures American's that the giant company is in support of heathy living and confidence. For any that feel fashion negatively effects how women should be portrayed, Vogue is shining light on a change worth keeping. |
