Valerie Steele profiled in Dartmouth Alumni Magazine
Dr. Valerie Steele is profiled in the May/June issue of the Dartmouth Alumni Magazine. She graduated from Dartmouth College in 1978 and went on to receive a PhD from Yale University.
What insights does she give to burgeoning fashion scholars? She says that, although there are fewer jobs for fashion journalists, there are more opportunities in the visuals of fashion, such as fashion films, and in the business side of fashion.
