Dear Pennies & Pens,
When I originally created de la Pen, it was to be a fashion blog. One of my first posts talks about my desire to break into the industry. However, over the years I’ve realized that while I love fashion, I prefer to create lifestyle content. In essence, I expanded the site to create de la Pen…All Pen Everything, an international and multicultural online lifestyle magazine.
I still focus on fashion so I cover various fashion shows and events as well as featuring designers, models, etc. But one thing I’ve never gotten to talk about is how to build a career in the industry. I think it’s important to constantly read up on your chosen field or industry so that you never stop learning and improving.
That said today’s post: LOUDRead: The Teen Vogue Handbook: An Insider’s Guide to Careers in Fashion features my review of the book. First off, I must say that I truly enjoyed this book! I’ve been the industry for a few years now and I still found the advice and experiences shared in the book to be extremely valuable. It served as a refresher and motivator for me and I imagine it would serve as a guidebook to those seeking to break into the industry.
The Teen Vogue Handbook offers interviews, profiles, and advice about how to break into the constantly evolving fashion industry. This essential guide is for anyone interested in fashion is now better than ever.
The expanded edition is chock-full of brand-new photos, profiles of newcomers, descriptions of digital jobs, and up-to-the-minute career advice. It’s the ultimate behind-the scenes look at the designers, stylists, photographers, models, makeup artists, writers, and bloggers who run the industry.
The Teen Vogue Handbook features profiles of Jenna Lyons; Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen; Pamela Love; Warby Parker; Michelle Phan; Sophia Amoruso; Robin Givhan; Chanel Iman, and many more stylists, photographers, and major players.
The all-new section on digital careers includes advice straight from editor-in-chief Amy Astley and the staff of Teen Vogue on how to grown an online brand and make a fashion statement! This edition covers changes in the fashion landscape that include bloggers and street style, and also includes a free one-year subscription to Teen Vogue!
I liked the book because it was a simple and easy read. The profiles and interviews told me stories about how the people I admire became who they are by revealing their trials and tribulations. It was inspirational!
I also liked how the book talked about how to do photo shoots and build an online brand. It is truly a well rounded book that gives you insight on various aspects of the industry and the people who work in it.
I highly recommend this book! Check it out here: Amazon.com/The Teen Vogue Handbook Insiders
