Description
Newspaper article by Joanne Kaufman, published in the Wall Street Journal (New York, NY) on June 20, 1989, in the Leisure & Arts section, page T1AA16. The article covers the launch of Mirabella magazine and Grace Mirabella's editorial vision for the publication. Kaufman quotes Mirabella on her rejection of the Vogue model: "I don't want to do an essay about women and their feelings. It always turns into my ovarian cycle and yours." The article notes the magazine was aimed at sophisticated women, was calmer and less cluttered than Elle, and that Mirabella explicity did not want it to be a trendy magazine.
