Hi!

Hope all is well and you survived Fashion Week!

Anyway, I just finished watching the premiere episode of Running in Heels on the Style Network’s website and thought I’d pass it on. I honestly think it’s worse than Stylista, the editors make it completely evident that it’s fake. And the number of Michael Kors references can only mean that he’s a sponsor. Or Nina Garcia just wants to suck up to him, still. Joanna is really funny and the interns are completely not with it.

Let me know what you think! Enjoy, haha.

Best Line: “There’s so much buzz about her joining in the industry, I really want to be able to exploit it.” - Joanna Coles, Marie Claire’s EIC, on Nina Garcia.

It looks like the CW has some direct competition for Stylista this fall:

The Style Network is launching its own as-of-yet, unnamed reality show in which three interns will compete for a position with “a top fashion magazine in New York” by the end.

They’re just starting to cast the show, and the applicant letter advertises that “no experience is necessary” but that interested candidates must be “fiercely passionate about working in the fashion, beauty & lifestyle publication industry.”

There will be upcoming auditions in Los Angeles, Chicago, Nashville and Philadelphia, so please bring your iPhone if you’re planning on trying out!

We’re not sure if reality shows for jobs is the new norm for fashion (is it telling that we didn’t even smirk when we opened the e-mail?), but most importantly, stay tuned for which magazine…
