With six days to go to 29th Glamour’s Women of the Year Awards, one of the key events in the Condé Nast calendar featuring honourees such as Jane Fonda, Megan Rapinoe and Charlize Theron. ‘Fearless’ is a fly-on-the-wall documentary that follows Editor In Chief, Samantha Barry’s journey to the staple event. With unparalleled access, we sit in the key meetings, meet the various teams and are part of the journey with the Cork woman in the run-up to the pressured event.

Now a digital-first magazine, we speak to Condé Nast’s heavy hitters Anna Wintour and Susan Plagemann, Chief Commercial Director, to find out Glamour’s role in the overall Condé Nast portfolio and the importance of the awards as a revenue scheme for global Condé Nast. We chart Samantha’s career from BBC to CNN on route to Glamour and find out how this Ballincollig woman has become one of the most important people in media and just why she was called ‘Fearless’ by one of the fashion’s most feared women, Anna Wintour.

Glamour is very much a reflection of young women that we see today and Sam is its perfect leader“, in an exclusive interview Anna Wintour tells us why the Cork woman is perfect for the role as Editor In Chief of Glamour.

Airing on RTÉ One at 9.35 pm on Monday 8th June.
