Having little exposure to fashion magazines as a kid living in Pittsburgh, Raquel learned about glamour and style through reading Fitzgerald and Salinger and watching lots of old movies (the French New Wave ones had the coolest clothes). Now, she lives in Brooklyn and has written about fashion and culture for such publications as Newsweek International, ELLE.com, The Daily, The New Inquiry, and Forbes, where she was an editor for four years.
