Detroit Fashion Editor Yvonne Petrie

A fashion editor I discovered this summer was Yvonne Petrie of the Detroit News. She started at the newspaper in 1953 and began covering fashion the next year. A native of Indiana, she attended the University of Chicago and Indiana University. She won a Penney-Missouri Award for fashion reporting in 1964. She gave an interesting speech about fashion journalism when she went to Missouri to get her award.

She regularly covered the New York City, California, Honolulu and European fashion shows.
