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.

Donna Karan Spring 2013

by Leah Chernikoff

Where Donna Karan’s contemporary line, DKNY, was inspired by the daily hustle of the city and the working girls who inhabit it, for her spring namesake collection Karan evoked the serenity of NYC–those moments when you’re entering the city by car or train and it somehow manages to seem still and calm.

by Steff Yotka

The Fashionista team kicked off NYFW Day 1 by taking in shows from Katie Gallagher, Creatures of the Wind, and 10 Crosby Derek Lam among others. In the process, we ran into living disco ball ADR at her H&M collab launch and the equally glittery Man Repeller. And some creative street style occasionally distracted us from the runways.
