According to the NY Times, today’s teenagers no longer aspire to be models like they did in a decade or two ago, now they’re looking to be the next Anna Wintour.
Teen Vogue has decided to honor requests from their readers on how to break into the fashion industry, and they’re not sugar coating it either. Next month, Teen Vogue will release “The Teen Vogue Handbook” for aspiring students who want to be designers, stylists, photographers or editors. Now that fashion has been democratized and covered with media spotlight to tan your pretty skin, the market is tougher than ever. Eric Wilson, the author of the NY Times’ article “Looking for a (Long) Leg Up,” notes that it seems odd that where fashion seems to be getting its prime time, the fashion magazine industry is suffering its largest cuts yet. Thus, the competition for a spot with big name in fashion is still fierce.
Getting into the fashion industry is much more than the glitz and glamour it seems to project, it’s back-breaking hard work.
