Ms Wintour says 'Do Your Homework'

Since it launched in 2003 I think Teen Vogue has easily become the best teenage magazine on the market. Sure teenagers can't afford anything featured in it but their editorials and features are far more grown up and inspirational than anything I've ever seen in Sugar etc.
And now the people at Teen Vogue have created a book on careers in fashion, The Teen Vogue Handbook: An Insider’s Guide to Careers in Fashion.



Teen Vogue editor Amy Astley says, '“The book is a useful reference guide: how to build a portfolio, dress for an interview, and land an internship.”
The book is said to include:

· A Q&A with the king of cool, Marc Jacobs

· Words of wisdom from Karl Lagerfeld and Anna Wintour

· Profiles of contributing photographers

· A list of essential beauty products from industry pros

· Advice from stylists and model scouts

· Practical advice from models, assistants and interns

Who else is dying to hear what the 'practical advice' from models is?

But really I think Anna Wintour's advice is all you need. "Do your homework, go online, visit every museum, and intern. You just need to have a love for what you’re doing. It’s not about thinking that it’s the cool thing; it’s about really believing in it," she says.

Karl follows up, “Ask yourself, Are you sure this world is for you? And are you sure you are the right person to survive in this world—the world of fashion, a world with no rules, no laws?”

I LOVE KARL

The Handbook comes out on October 5th, is $24 and apparently is for 'ages 12 & up' - sorry 11 year-olds.
