Mirabella

Mirabella was a fashion magazine that lasted from 1989 to 2000.

It began in 1989 as the brainchild (and namesake) of former Vogue editor Grace Mirabella. The magazine changed hands several times, most notably when Rupert Murdoch sold it to Hachette Filipacchi Médias in 1995. It had by then established a reputation as a smart women's magazine, but seemed to struggle for an identity at Hachette while its sassier, sillier sister Elle Magazine flourished.

"A lot of people have very, very strong emotions about that magazine," Cathleen Medwick, one of the founding editors, who worked there under three different editors, told Salon upon the publication's demise[link] . "It was supposed to be the magazine that people would read who were irritated by other magazines. It was supposed to be smart. It was supposed to have articles that really said something, by writers you would really enjoy reading. And I think it was that, at various points."

Editors included Barbara Ehrenreich, Amy Gross, Roberta Myers, Dominique Browning, and Mei Chin.
