I have been watching Chanel 5's new reality tv show stylista. It is set in New York with style setting hopefuls competing to win a fast tracked editorial position at Elle magazine. It shows that working in fashion editorial is not as glamorous as I thought. The show does play up to many stereotypes with wannabes running around Manhattan to fetch iced skinny lattes for Elle editor Anne Slowey.
I have really enjoyed the magazine style outfitting project I have been doing for Buying and Merchandising and have been surprised that this is the project I have spent the majority of my time doing this week. I also really liked being able to look at each outfit and decide the best location for shooting in an advertising campaign.
I have even toyed with the idea of interning at a fashion publication but after further research I have found out this is an incredibly competitive area of the industry. I don't think that I am ruthless enough to work in fashion editorial and don't think The Devil wears Prada is the life for me!
