His work is cut lucky, but for them. Traffic on a commercial basis to the bay, which was originally introduced in 2000, has reached a plateau of around € 1.1 million for the last three years. ad pages for the year 2012 amounted to 894 - but in the September 2013 issue of Vogue alone has 665 pages of advertisements - and many continue to slide in the second quarter of this year.
Tap of Vogue editor and artistic director director Anna Wintour, Condé Nast, who first brought in as a consultant for the magazine in April Chen wants to usher in a new era for the magazine - more smooth, brilliant and ambitious time.

Chen grew up in New York, but "never really thought of fashion as a career. Subscribed Vogue My mother and I would at the pictures, but it felt very remote and even when I lived almost like a fairy tale for me in Greenwich Village and in the East Village and the Garment District was 20 blocks. "Instead they found inspiration in the surrounding streets."

A first-generation American, a mother and a father of Taiwanese born Shanghai, Chen studied pre-medicine at the Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore. "Often the immigrant experience is that children hold certain professions such as medicine, law, engineering, finance," she said. The feeling a little burned while preparing for the Medical College Admission Test (MCAT) and his last year of college, Chen applied to "20 different courses around New York City, Advertising and MTV editing ... basically everything I had heard. "
She landed at Harper's Bazaar for the summer, divided between beauty and features departments. "Do you want to work and animated roller door on my first day and seeing all these people through the aisles and sequences that I think that was the first time that really want crystallized in my mind, it's not just a flight of imagination, "says Chen.

I move away from this established career, which is very easy to understand and is right on something that is completely non-linear and totally unpredictable. "
But Chen initially hard to find a job in magazines and instead, ended up working in a law firm for nine months. "It was a very turbulent time in the United States for many reasons," she then someone said, "9/11, the first dot-com bust. It was also a time when the major magazines such as Mademoiselle began to disappear. But Lucky Magazine has sent me - they needed a freelance assistant wardrobe credits, "Chen recalls. "I worked with an editor that still there - Joane Amay, it is our editor credits here - for six weeks before I get a job with it."

"It is not at all the beauty magazines editor could learn more about licensing, brand development, digital development, but also in the social media to operate. Could I do many different things at once, I think it is important for the work that I have now. "
Chen left Teen Vogue in October last year to move to Los Angeles and go free - "my husband, who was a producer in Los Angeles for a project that I have not really lived there for three months, then I went back [New York. ] and was a consultant to chance.
