Suzy Menkes Career

After Cambridge, she worked for The Times reporting on fashion. In addition to her journalism, she has written several books, particularly on British Royal style.

Menkes professes to admire "good journalism", especially the work of Prudence Glynn at the Times of London and Eugenia Sheppard of the New York Herald Tribune. After leaving Cambridge in 1966, where she was the first woman who signed up to work for Varsity, the university's newspaper, she joined The Times as a junior reporter. At age 24, Menkes took her first job as a fashion journalist at the London Evening Standard, where she had been recruited by editor Charles Wintour, who became her mentor.

Then, she joined the Daily Express, before returning to The Times, where she met her late husband and father of her three sons, David Spanier. She left The Times and joined The Independent in 1987, which she later left for the International Herald Tribune in 1988.

After 25 years commenting on fashion at The International Herald Tribune, she left in 2014 saying that:

In 2014, Jonathan Newhouse, chairman of Condé Nast International, appointed her the online voice of Vogue's international editions, working as "a critic and reporter on Vogue's websites across the world". She was also responsible for organising Condé Nast International's annual Luxury Conference.

During the first lockdown of 2020, she launched her podcast, Creative Conversations with Suzy Menkes. Here she presents in-depth interviews with the fashion industry's most influential designers, thinkers and executives, including Duro Olowu, Giancarlo Giammetti, Maria Grazia Chiuri of Dior, Marine Serre, Michael Kors and Natalia Vodianova.

Bracelets up to her elbows and rings on her thumbs! How bling-mad Queen Victoria set the bar for eye-catching jewellery (to the dismay of her staid advisors...)

www.dailymail.co.uk, January 28, 2024
A ring caused some significant pain at Queen Victoria's Coronation, but not necessarily pain. The Coronation ring was firmly stuck on the young queen's ring finger, ensuring it could not be removed without the help of iced water. Victoria's love of rings - or showing them off - did not diminish her advisors' annoyance.

Camilla is a "amazing" granny, according to Queen's daughter-in-law Sara Parker Bowles, who takes a 'hands on' strategy

Sara Parker Bowles (pictured right), a London-based Sara Parker Bowles (pictured right), 50, who shares 16-year-old Lola and 13-year-old Freddy with the Queen's son Tom, described her former mother-in-law as a 'amazing' grandmother on ITV last week. Sara, a fashion journalist who departed Tom in 2018, told Lorraine Leo Varadkar that Camilla takes a "hands on" approach when it comes to her grandchildren.

Kate's jewellery choices 'a disappointment'? The Princess is making British gems SPARKLE, not surprising

www.dailymail.co.uk, August 7, 2023
ICE HARE: Suzy Menkes, a fashion journalist, recently called the Princess of Wales' use of the royal jewellery collection a "disappointment," noting that she only wears its pieces "when she absolutely has to" them. However, Kate raiding the royal vault solely for occasions such as state banquets is a considered move. The 'Kate effect' is evidently responsible for her obsession with demi-fine and even costume jewellery, something that previous royals would never wear.
