Loved this! Would love to see a feature on anything related to a Catherine Deneuve shoot.

Allure was a BRILLIANT magazine! And yes, it had a very strong journalistic backbone, but it also had a touch of irreverence (which IMO every great magazine needs.) It took risks at a time when every other magazine was toeing the line, and it really had its finger on the pulse. Plus, the visuals were often extraordinary! (I remember all those knock-out spreads of the late makeup legend Kevyn Aucoin's work. And that iconic story of Christy Turlington representing beauty for every decade of the 20th century.)

Love this interview with Linda! Very insightful! And I loved her tenure at Allure. Made the magazine what is is.

2014- 2016 was such a huge year for makeup and the rise of beauty influencers. Was this the same year when allure stopped publishing hard copies? allure was the go to information for beauty, now its the beauty influencers. I wonder what would have happened if these 2 merged.
