Better Late Than Never

Yeeess! I finally got my hands on the Teen Vogue Handbook: An Insider's Guide to Careers in Fashion. I hadn't planned on buying it, but when scanning through it in Boarders I just had to get it because the advice was above my expectations. I was expecting some cheesy, paper weight book that repeated its self over and over and gave mediocre information, but it indeed was not like that at all. The bios along with the Q & A from many different prospectives of people within the industry was very useful and encouraging. My fave section of the book of course was the stylist section, which featured bios and Q & A's of Jillian Davison, Andrea Lieherman, Havana Laffitte, Camilla Nickerson, and Ellissa Santisi. They all had their own stories and advise to give, but one piece of advise that was constant in all was RESEARCH. Be inspired by old films, look books, and the life around you. To be a successful stylist one must not just know how to put together an outfit, be able to create a story thats relevant and expresses your style. I highly advise anyone who's interested into going into the fashion industry to purchase it, you will not be disappointed::.
