Vogue Runway's director was doing PR for a CD-ROM company before she scored her first industry gig at 'WWD.'
After my first season of writing reviews for Style.com, I remember waking up in the middle of the night, sitting bolt upright in bed and thinking, "Oh, those reviews that I wrote are going to be online for the rest of time." It filled me with, like, "Wow, that's a lot of responsibility." Knowing how many people work on these collections and the importance of the Style.com review at that time, it dawned on me that this is a really big deal, what I'm doing.
I would say that the big adjustment was going from a monthly calendar to a daily one, and the late nights during the fashion shows. There were days, seasons in Paris back when the staff was quite small, when I would have six reviews to do, and I got back to my hotel room at 10 o'clock at night and I was up until three or four doing them.
Maybe it's my training from Wesleyan; you just go to that school and wind up being a little politicized. The way to answer that is that I've been doing it for a long time now, for 10 years or more. And especially with the designers who I've been reviewing since that time, I think I have an in-depth, intimate awareness of their work and their trajectories, so obviously that has helped me.
