Who edited American Vogue from 1971 until 1988?

Grace Mirabella edited American Vogue from 1971 until 1988.

Mirabella succeeded Diana Vreeland, whose tenure had emphasized theatrical fashion imagery and high-society glamour. Under Mirabella, Vogue placed greater emphasis on practical fashion, lifestyle coverage, and the changing role of professional women.

Mirabella’s tenure ended when Anna Wintour became editor-in-chief in 1988. She later founded Mirabella magazine, which was published in the United States during the 1990s. She is sometimes confused with Vreeland because both led Vogue before Wintour, but their editorial approaches were notably different.
