Pittsburgh fashion editor Barbara Cloud
I just came upon Barbara Cloud – the now retired fashion editor several Pennsylvania newspapers, including the now-defunct Pittsburgh Press and the Post-Gazette. Most women’s pages included a fashion editor.
In a magazine profile she said:“Not being schooled in fashion writing,” says Cloud—who would later serve as fashion editor of The Pittsburgh Press for 33 years—“possibly allowed me to open up with more personal observations. That’s what I found interesting. When I want to share a story with readers, I begin to write as if I am writing a letter to a friend and I want them to know what or who I have just seen.” And Cloud has seen and has interviewed some amazingly interesting people—everyone from Joan Crawford and Nancy Reagan to Smokey Burgess and Ralph Lauren.”
She is in the Pittsburgh Fashion Week Hall of Fame.
I just ordered her book, By Line. I am putting together a list of significant fashion editors that will include Cloud.
