I should try it. Maybe Anna will think "Take a chance. Hire the smart, fat girl."

if i worked at vogue id wear a ball gown

[@windandfire22]

INTERNS should be PAID. They make an effort to work and enterprises should respond with an effort to make their internship sustainable. A will is not always enough for a way, especially is enterprises have the money.

[@twincherry4958]

Mireille Thank you!

[@SubversiveStyle]

I USED to agree, but I do wish I'd gotten an internship like everyone advised.

[@lisasands1914]

I can't agree with you more. When I graduated from UCLA in Design, I interned for 2 years for a international Interior Designer, he not only paid me, but he promoted me. It was not easy, I was a newly wed, finishing my classes, and working my tail off. Being paid is an important key value and success....especially with large companies who not only have the resources but are in a leadership role that sets standards.

[@kruthiwithlove8938]

Lisa Sands i am from india and i am eagerly looking out for an internship in london and NYC as stylist. Please do let me know how to apply in such good places

When talking about people she's exploiting for free labour and their need to feed, shelter and clothe themselves to survive "Where there's a will, there's a way" You mean rich parents, blind luck or theft. Those are the ways.

[@aaronying4989]

[@teapot6219]

So basically have rich parents to put you in a London flat while you work unpaid internships...

[@petegiant]

It is a practical education.

[@turquoisegreene9625]

@@petegiant no it's free labor. i't unqualified labor so it should be cheaper than what that of tje professionals but it absolutely should be paid.

[@IndiePoppedhearts]

It's called a glass ceiling. It's put into place to ensure that the children of the wealthy have another leg up on the competition of poor kids. She very flippantly disregarded the need for an intern to eat and chalked conjuring money from thin air up to a will finding a way. The way is either blind luck, having rich parents (the jackpot of blind luck) or theft.

[@em0025]

I'm lucky I live in London I live quite near the building I could apply for a job lol

[@thettproject4534]

Exactly. I live in London and am lucky enough that my parents can pay my rent for a while at least but still can't get an internship to save my life, everyone wants someone with experience to work for free or for next to nothing ffs...

[@cecichen1987]

Oh my god I really want to work at Vogue. This has been seriously my dream since I was a middle school student. My mom works at a huge library so I got the chance to read Chinese Vogue every month. And I kept doing this from my middle school time to the end of my high school time because I went to another city for my University later. I am a Chinese and now working on my graduate program in the US. When I was in college, I started to read British Vogue and American Vogue since I was able to master English. I love British Vogue sooooooooooo much. It has definitely the best style and every time I read it I get so much inspiration. Fashion seriously means interest, inspiration, passion, love, and life to me. I wish I could some day work at British Vogue. I want it so badly, like morn than any other things on the entire world. I wish I could do an intern after I graduate at Vogue, which is everything I want.

[@econ2206]

it's sad to dream of labor.

[@cecichen1987]

Update. After my graduation I worked for L’OFFICEL which is another big name in the fashion publication industry.

[@antonia3903]

@@cecichen1987 omgg, so happy for u!!! Is vogue still ur dream? was it difficult for u to get a job? I haven't graduated yet, but my dream is becoming a fashion journalist and, hopefully someday, work at vogue or other big magazines, but i'm scared of not being able to get there since i'm not from the US and i don't come from a wealthy family ;(

[@nicolettelara1044]

I love this episode. It's so interesting to see how many people contribute to the iconic magazine in their own unique way. To hear their stories of how they ended up there. I admire that Vogue recognizes that the industry evolves and that they are embracing these changes and are quite ahead of many industries when it comes to the demands of the digital era. The Social Media bit was my favorite part. Thanks for sharing!

[@Augsterful]

literally my thoughts exactly 😂

It probably costs hundreds of pounds and was made by some hot new designer. Lumpy chic or something like that.

[@aniap7911]

Shame on her!!!

[@thatswhatSHEsaidgirl]

I went for a job interview here last summer when i was fresh out of university. The environment was stiff and, looking around at the unsettling lack of diversity in the room, i was perplexed as to how i’d made it in. Definitely made me wonder how candidates were selected for the position - does one need to know the right people and have private schooling to make it in vogue? Shoutout to John at 0:57 for being so kind and easing the tension on that day!!

It makes me feel good that some of these people didn't have a end goal or dream job life goal. They just did what they were interested in, learned, failed and found out what works putting the pieces of what is it they will be happy doing as a career and taking a leap of faith to peruse what they want.

Whenever we had a meeting, the art director just look at our product in I-pad, no lousy PPT, after he or she confirmed, then its good-to-go. Shortest meeting ever.
