Fashion Confessions
Description
Confess truths, insider info, and opinions about models, and fashion industry royals.The confessions I post do not represent my opinions and beliefs.
About Me: I'm a Fashion student at Parsons in NYC. I breathe, dream, and eat Vogue. I will start my last year in the fall & am trying to secure an internship with a major fashion house, or preferably a major fashion magazine. I started this blog as a fashion enthusiast.
Just landed an internship with Vogue US for the fall!

isnt the VSFS on december 4. why and what is airing today?
It films today, airs on DEc 4th!
What do you think of Cara Delevingne being in the VSFS because I'm sitting here like WTF?
CARA BUT NO MARYNA? UGH!!!!!!!
Although so many models look 'perfect' do you think they have had surgery to fix certain flaws? Most commonly rhinoplasty maybe?
Oh yeah, many of them
what do you think enabled you to get your internship, is going to parsons a big part of it? congrats xx
Going to Parsons is basically the only way (maybe not only but highly preferable way). Their programs are extremely solid and if you are commanding of yourself and in control and creative, you will have all the opportunities that Parsons can offer. They have amazing internships with not only different fashion magazines- but a lot of brands too, and overseas. If you are committed and not afraid to be vocal in your goals, Parsons will help you loads. A lot of people will tell you differently, but you really have to build a personal relationship with your professors. With that I mean, you really have to engage in discussions, ask questions, and often times do more work than required of you. Parsons also offers wonderful networking opportunities, and for free.
Hi! :) It would be wonderful if you could make a post on what the person asked you about what the editors write, how it all happens during the fashion week and all things related to that! (and a little bit about your internship?) thank you for your time
Hello! I would be happy to share, but please message me non anonymously. Only because there’s some details I don’t feel comfortable sharing on a public blog, the last thing I would want is to be in trouble or bring problems to my employer.
Is the whole Anna banning designers from Ann Romney thing true? I hope so!
There is absolutely no truth to that what so ever. Anna is obviously a democrat, and heavily involved with getting President Obama re-elected, but she’s not about to take a note from DVF’s book and alienate half of the women of the US by being so ugly about things. It would be incredibly rude to order designers not to dress Ann Romney just because her husband happens to be a candidate Anna doesn’t support. Stupid rumor.
what types of work did you have to do in the vogue office? what did u do for fashion week?
In the office, primarily clerical and administrative duties. Not even for the queen Anna, but for other managerial positions. I did get to work with Anna (not directly) quite a few times. Most of my work had to do with scheduling, calling, confirming, travel invoices, and even some research and analysis. For fashion week, the interns get to analyze and critique pieces from the shows we attend, but mostly we help senior positions finalize their written pieces. Backstage, there’s a lot to do in between shows. Mostly help out the staff in terms of check lists, timing, other shows, and in some situations getting a few words with a couple of models. Since fashion month has been over, I’ve been in the NY office.
From having your internship, did you find any juicy gossip or delicious stories you're going to share with us?
Yes, I was able to go to NY/MILAN/PARIS Fashion week, and attend a few shows in each city. I had to spend a lot of time backstage doing not so glamorous work. But it made for a lot of observation time. I will be publishing my own confessions in the midst of submitted ones!
