Kirsty Young's castaway this week is the editor of British Vogue, Alexandra Shulman.
In spite of being in charge of one of our leading 'style bibles' for more than 20 years, her reputation is that of someone rather down to earth. She thinks designers cut clothes too small, refuses to let superstars have photo and copy approval and when she was first appointed editor, she'd never even been on a fashion shoot. During her tenure Vogue's circulation has increased.
Her first job as editor was with the men's magazine GQ and she's had spells at Tatler, the Sunday Telegraph and writing a weekly column for the Daily Mail.
She says, "Vogue is not my personal taste, really. I think of it more as a kind of newspaper, reporting on what's out there."
Producer: Cathy Drysdale.
