Hannah Jackson is still making her mark at Vogue Magazine. Over this past month alone, the writer has been tasked to report on celebrities outfits for the Grammys to TV shows and entertainment.
Her most recent article is on Sabrina Carpenter and I enjoy how she goes into detail on their outfits and incorporates how Sabrina nods towards Marilyn Monroe and Madonna's looks. Interestingly enough, in the article that Jackson wrote, she even goes as far to discuss that Marilyn Monroe was supposed to wear this 1991 dress.
“It was originally designed for Madonna to wear to perform at the Academy Awards,” Alexis Novak, owner of Tab Vintage—where the dress was sourced—tells Vogue. “It was inspired by Marilyn Monroe in Gentlemen Prefer Blondes and made headlines when she wore it.”

On another note though, who exactly is Hannah Jackson? She may write for Vogue now, however at one point she wrote for Elle, The Cut, Architectural Digest, Harper's Bazaar and even Rolling Stone.
On her website it explains, “As a freelancer, she explored the connections between zeitgeisty trends and the larger sociopolitical climate. She published stories about the cult of Erewhon, the harsh realities of selling eggs, and the exclusivity of ballet fashion.”
Her writing is unique within a sense because she always comes back with catchy headlines such as “Ariana Grande Is Back to Her Witchy Ways” and “Forget Oxblood! Jennifer Lawrence Declares Cobalt the New It-Color”
Every time I personally have read a Hannah Jackson article I have always come back for more. She gets straight to the point, her articles are not lengthy and the ledes simple, yet sweet. I am never bored reading an article of hers. Even if you are not immersed in the fashion and entertainment world she makes sure you understand what is going on, before you even start to question anything.
Let's take a step back to the Miss Carpenter article. She uses phrases like, "blonde ambition" and Carpenter paid tribute to another famous blonde: Kate Moss. Heading to the VMA after party, she rocked a sheer white lace minidress over white underwear, which paired teetering white platforms and kiss-print purse."
As a massive fan of Sabrina, I was impressed with the way she spoke about her style and even went as far as to elaborate on the history on a bunch of clothing items which gives her more accreditation for her work, since she is truly in the know within the fashion industry.
Well done! Very informative for a reader like me, who had never heard of Hannah Jackson. You do a great job of explaining how she is more than a fashion writer but someone writing -- and thinking -- at the intersection of fashion and society. A perfect role model for you! :-)
