Chelsey Sanchez
Chelsey Sanchez is an editor at Harper’s Bazaar who covers fashion through a culture and entertainment lens, with a particular focus on how clothing choices intersect with celebrity, social movements, and the people who power the industry.
Fashion through culture and celebrity
Her role at Harper’s Bazaar is defined around “any and all things related to culture and entertainment,” and her own portfolio highlights fashion and lifestyle as core parts of that brief. She uses entertainment and celebrity news as an entry point into style coverage, treating what people wear as part of broader cultural narratives rather than standalone trend pieces. On the Spanish-language edition of the magazine, her remit explicitly includes staying on top of celebrity news, which reinforces how often her fashion stories are anchored in high-profile personalities and the media moments around them.
Royal and public‑figure style coverage
Sanchez’s fashion writing includes close attention to how public figures use dress to shape their image, as seen in her piece on Queen Letizia wearing a colorful sundress. In this lane, she focuses on the look itself, the setting in which it appears, and the way it fits into a subject’s established style, offering readers a clear, descriptive account of what was worn and why it matters. Her coverage of royal and celebrity dressing sits comfortably within her broader culture beat, treating outfits not only as aesthetic choices but as part of ongoing stories about visibility, taste, and public life.
Fashion, labor, and social movements
Alongside celebrity-focused fashion pieces, Sanchez reports on the workers and movements that make the industry possible. Her portfolio includes a story titled “We Couldn’t Have New York Fashion Week Without Garment Workers,” which foregrounds the labor that underpins runway spectacles and connects fashion’s most visible moments to the people behind the scenes. The Spanish edition of Harper’s Bazaar notes that she writes about social movements and speaks with activists leading campaigns for workers’ rights and climate justice, indicating a recurring interest in how apparel production, labor conditions, and environmental issues intersect with fashion and entertainment.
This combination of garment worker coverage and movement reporting gives her fashion beat a strong social and political dimension, extending beyond surface‑level trend reporting.
Pop culture and politics background
Before taking on her current editor role, Sanchez covered pop culture and politics for outlets including The Atlantic, Flaunt, and The Indypendent, experience that she carries into her fashion work. Her own site describes several years at Harper’s Bazaar working across culture, entertainment, fashion, and lifestyle on both digital and print platforms, which has given her a broad command of how style stories sit alongside news and commentary. That background allows her to connect fashion with media, representation, and political context, whether she is writing about a royal sundress or the labor dynamics behind a major fashion week.

Air Mail
Batsheva Hay writes fashion and culture pieces for Air Mail with the sensibility of a working designer rather than a conventional style reporter. She is the founder of the cult label Batsheva, known for prairie dresses and vintage-inflected, modest silhouettes that rethink traditions of feminine dress. At Air Mail she sits inside style and lifestyle coverage, writing about fashion and shopping from the point of view of someone who designs the kinds of clothes she describes. Her background as a former lawyer shapes a structured, argumentative way of taking apart dress codes and conventions. She focuses on vintage clothing, modesty, subversion, and how old styles gain new meaning. In guides such as her Upper West Side piece, she treats locations as mood boards and supporting characters, using sensory detail and lived-in references to map the cultural influences behind her clothes and the world her label inhabits.
