10 Lessons I Learned at Teen Vogue‘s Fashion University That Will Help You Land Your Dream Job

This Saturday, I found myself among the hordes of well-dressed 16-24 year-olds at Teen Vogue‘s annual Fashion University event in Midtown Manhattan, where industry VIPS like as Grace Coddington, BryanBoy, Amy Astley and more, dropped their infinite fashion knowledge on us.

Competition for seats was fierce. Girls and boys from all over the world rushed and crushed into seats like their careers depended on it. And after everything I learned this weekend, maybe our careers did depend on it.

From working a part-time job at Starbucks, to online etiquette, to taking the time to enjoy just being a kid, here are the top 10 lessons I learned about how to land my fashion dream job.

What We Saw at NYFW, Day 8

Today was a perfect closing to our week of fashion madness. We saw shows from Calvin Klein, Ralph Lauren, Brood, and Gerlan, and snapped permanent front row resident Ryan Lochte and street style stars Anna Dello Russo, Garance Doré, and Leaf Greener.

As for NYFW ending, we have mixed feelings, but BryanBoy knows how to sartorially celebrate its close. He dressed as a disco ball to mark the last day. Just click through to see the evidence.

Theyskens’ Theory Spring 2013

The Clothes: Olivier Theyskens took a decidedly more sophisticated turn this season. Gone were the baggy jeans, and denim hot pants and in their stead were expertly tailored pantsuits and form-fitting shift dresses.

A Dispatch From the America’s Next Top Model Premiere Party aka ‘The Night I Fell in Love with Tyra Banks’

My life consists of exactly two time periods: B.T. and A.T. (Before and After Tyra). B.T. was a pretty dark time for me. For twenty-five long, wasted years, I thought I didn’t love Tyra Banks. But things are different now: Enter A.T. Last night, I attended a preview screening of America’s Next Top Model‘s season Read more →

BryanBoy on Making Cocktails for Dolce & Gabbana, Crying (and Making Contestants Cry) on Top Model and a Possible Joint Project with Rumi Neely

You’re about to see a whole lot more of OG fashion blogger BryanBoy. In addition to his big TV break as a judge on the upcoming season of America’s Next Top Model, he’s also wrapped a cute video series for Dolce & Gabbana where he worked just about every job for the label. And there might be more on screen appearances in the works. We chatted with the new New York-implant (he was moving in while we spoke and had been staying with fellow ANTM judge Kelly Cutrone until he found a place) about his transition to on-screen work, his latest projects, and new ones (possibly one with bff Rumi Neely) in the works.
