Elaine Welteroth

ELAINE WELTEROTH IS ARGUABLY THE QUEEN OF multi-hyphenated credits. In 2016, at the age of 29, she was named editor-in-chief of , which, at the time, made her the youngest person to lead a Condé Nast magazine and only bestselling author with her memoir . Welteroth attributes her love of personal style to her mom, who would “transform in front of the mirror before church on Sundays…that outward transformation completely altered the way that she walked.” Inspired, Welteroth started to think about the role that beauty and fashion plays. “It’s a signal that tells the world how you want to be seen.” And with a resume as impressive as hers, she is also quick to point out that success is ultimately about your vision. “It doesn’t matter what your background is or what your pedigree is, at the end of the day, you have to have the vision and the drive to get where you want to go.”
