In 1960 ''The Spectator'' reported that Garland had left the ''Mirror'' in order to join British ''Vogue'' as part of a greater change of the magazine's focus away from luxury and exclusivity. After leaving ''Vogue'' in 1964, Garland became Editor-in-Chief of ''Woman's Journal'', at that time the largest women's magazine in the UK.〔 In 1965 she launched ''Man's Journal'', an equivalent publication aimed towards the male reader, with designer Hardy Amies as its first guest editor.〔 She stayed with ''Woman's Journal'' until 1968.〔 During the last couple of years, 1967-68, Garland also edited a magazine called ''Fashion''.〔 As editor of ''Fashion'', Garland was asked to choose the Dress of the Year for 1968, for which she picked out a dress by Jean Muir and shoes by Bally.
