Apologies for taking so long to update my posts. I could provide a thousand and one excuses, or I could just say that I am officially a rubbish blogger. I opt for the latter.
Commissioning Editor
The Commissioning Editor is expected to stay on top of key trends and discovering notable trade movements that should be reflected in their publication. Such editors will also commission writers within the team to produce the articles and features for the publication.
“The content of Dazed Digital is run by myself only but input is given from the magazine's fashion department too. My days are mostly spent in front of an iMac surfing, editing stories, and sourcing”. Commissoning Editor, Dazed Digital

Accessories/Jewellery Editor
An editor with specialist interest and/or experience in fashion accessories. Assumes similar responsibilities to a Fashion Editor however more focus is dedicated to the selection of footwear, bags, jewellery and general accessories for a publication.
“I decide on stories for shoots including visual concept, direction, treatment, photographer, hair, makeup, styling. Accessories make for great and dynamic still life and are the key to dressing up a low key outfit”. Michael Temprano, Fashion & Accessories Editor

Contributing Fashion Editor
Like an Editor at Large, a contributing editor is not commonly responsible for any major decision making within a publication and does not contribute to the final edit. A Contributing Fashion Editor is often an established freelancer who is noted for producing articles that are of relevance and interest to a publications target reader.

Stylist
Within the setup up of a publication a stylist is ultimately responsible for realising the vision of a fashion teams brief. Often publications will employ freelance stylists via an agency who represent commercially successful fashion stylists. Responsibilities may include sourcing relevant clothing and accessories (via PR’s/brands), having input in to the choice of location and deciding upon the relevant outfits that best reflect the mood, colour palette and theme of the story/brief. Occasionally a publication will bestow the title “Senior Stylist” upon an in-house staff member with superior experience or control.
“Every day is different., there’s quite a bit of variety in my work. I’m often visiting PRs to call in clothes and I regularly visit designers whose shows I style at their studios to see their upcoming collection and discuss the looks in preparation for the next season”. Rebekah Roy, Freelance Stylist

Shopping Editor
The role of a Shopping Editor is to explore the market, trends and products on behalf of the publications readers. Constantly searching for the season’s most desirable pieces, a Shopping Editor must aim to succinctly reflect the current fashion trends that are monopolising both the high street and designer brands, allowing their readers to quickly and easily stay abreast of the fashion industry’s movements and purchase products accordingly.
