Senior Critic-at-Large at The Washington Post; Pulitzer Prize Winner
Robin Givhan Biography
Robin Givhan is Washington Post senior critic-at-large writing about politics, race and the arts. Previously, she covered the fashion industry as a business, as a cultural institution and as pure pleasure.
She is the 2006 Pulitzer Prize winner for criticism for “The Battle of Versailles: The Night American Fashion Stumbled into the Spotlight and Made History.” Her 2025 book, "Make It Ours: Crashing the Gate of Culture with Virgil Abloh," examines the ways in which Abloh changed the fashion industry and how the fashion industry transformed to allow an unconventional creative force like him flourish.
In addition to The Post, Givhan has worked at Newsweek/Daily Beast, Vogue magazine and the Detroit Free Press. During her most recent tenure at The Post, in addition to fashion, Givhan covered Michelle Obama during the first year of the administration.
Givhan received her Bachelor of Arts in English from Princeton University and a Masters of Science in journalism from the University of Michigan. In 2024, she received the Rabkin Prize for her arts writing.
