Fashion Editor can mean something different to other people, but it usually refers to the person responsible for the styling ... an in house stylist. So a creative background is needed. If you are thinking about journalism ... writing articles and editing other's work ... then it's a different approach. If you are wanting to run a magazine ... Editor in Chief is the title and that requires a combo on sharp business skills, management skills and a good eye for fashion too.
