Creative Director
The idea of being able to lead a team of editors from distinctive departments, in an effort to create one cohesive compilation of varied talents is alluring to Raphael.
Taking inspiration from the 'ice queen' editor-in-chief of American Vogue, Anna Wintour, he knew that he wanted to be in charge of a creative entity that inspired people. Wintour is often seen as an impossible to please, put-together, creative titan in the fashion industry. She has always had a keen eye for what works, and she quickly expels what doesn't. Due to her frigid nature, many have grown to fear her.
The sheer talent to be able to work with many of the industry's largest geniuses is what Raphael admires about Anna. She doesn't care what others think of her work, or her methods she uses to ensure things are put together. This empowered approach to running a giant magazine are what made Raphael seek this lucrative pathway.
Having a keen eye in any profession is what is most prized, after all.
