“All of beauty has changed because of technology,” explains Sophia Panych. “The first is backstage, primarily because I’ve done Fashion Week. I covered Fashion Week for eight years. I’ve gone to Milan and Paris twice a year to cover the shows. And that is something that has completely changed, not just for editors in magazines, but for the people that work backstage-the hair, the makeup artists, the models.”
Technology—and social media—has exposed something that used to be private and secretive. Exclusive is now broken wide open. There are no secrets left.
It’s changed how we talk about beauty makeup trends. Trends don’t really exist anymore because of social media. You get so much information at once, there’s no chance for something to build for six months and become a trend that everybody copies. It’s changed how important Fashion Week is in terms of those beauty trends.
Beauty brands work so fast now. Social media and technology have completely changed how brands strategize their product launches and how they get the news out about products to their consumers. The playing field has changed, and everybody has to shift their strategies and their plans. If the companies are changing their plans, the editors have to change how they cover them. It’s a cycle.
Panych continues, “As an editor, we work a lot faster and produce a lot more content. So that’s another thing that has definitely changed.”
