Fashionistas don’t come more refined than this. Anyone who moves within fashion circles will know that the name Suzanne Boyd is synonymous with style and grace. Boyd, who grew up in Dominica and studied in Jamaica, moved to New York in 2004 to head-up the now defunct ‘Suede’ magazine. The magazine closing down shouldn’t make you question her talents. Boyd came to the publication with eight years experience under-her-belt working as the editor of Canada’s leading fashion magazine, Flare. It’s a shame Suede folded, I still have all four issues! I love the vision Boyd brought to magazine. The fashion pages were fresh and innovative and it was gratifying to read make-up tips I could actually use. There’s no word on what Boyd’s next project will be but I’m sure it’ll be effortlessly chic, much like herself. Read this 2004 New York Times article on her which was written soon after she’d taken up the position at Suede.Photo: Suzanne Boyd attending the Vera Wang Spring 2005 fashion show during the Olympus Fashion Week Spring 2005 at Bryant Park September 10, 2004 in New York.
