Top three lessons from Teen Vogue Fashion University Day 2

A long day worth its while.

For Saturday’s event I had to wake up at 5:50. Luckily, as any fashionista, for the right cause I didn’t mind.  My schedule was packed with glamorous events that made me feel like a five-year-old in a candy shop. Each of the speakers was inspiring, kind and insightful. I had the opportunity to talk to each of them afterwards as well. Their willingness to share their wealth of knowledge and help us was wonderful. I’m now motivated and energized to run out into the world of fashion. 1,2,3 here I go... Sadly, it won't be that quick - but with their words of advice, I’m much more likely to succeed. I’ve summed up the 3 most important things mentioned by all of the speakers:

1. Intern, intern and intern: get any experience you can and keep in touch - the contacts will help you later
2. Don’t let your ego get in the way: be able to step back from the process and let go
3. Be informed: about the fashion world, skill sets, current events, pop culture – absolutely everything that is going on in the world

So take those words and don’t let anything stop you. I’m not going to. Join me on my journey!

Xoxo,
