Lauren Indvik and digital media
Indvik started out at Mashable, a digital publication focused on technology and online culture, and later led Fashionista, a digital fashion news site. Vogue Business itself was conceived as a specialist service for industry professionals rather than consumers. This background in digital publishing has informed her coverage of how e-commerce, social media and technology reshape fashion brands.
Why it matters
The fashion industry increasingly needs journalism that explains margins, valuations and strategy as well as collections. Indvik's career, from Mashable to Vogue Business and the Financial Times, mirrors the rise of business focused fashion media and the growing interest of investors and executives in rigorous, independent analysis of the sector.
