A job in Fashion: Fashion Internships

What do you need for a job in Fashion?

Most young girls dream about having a successful job in the glamorous world of fashion. A glitzy world of fashion shows, shootings, luxurious parties and celebrities. You must know that it isn't as easy as it seams due to the fact of the immense competition. The basic requirement is a reproachable sense of style, for example if you walk through the corridors of Vogue magazine you will probably be under the impression that they have models working as assistants.

A college degree is wellcomed, but not that significant. Vogue's Ana Wintour has been in the fashion industry ever since she was 16 and she never got to college! What you do need is a lot of ambition and a thick skin. You have to be able to always motivate yourselfn and face the competition of the industry. You have to set yourself high goals and make sure that you stick to them. Most supermodels, such as Cindy Crawford and Tyra Banks were refused by multiple modeling agencies. You have to learn that challenges are going to come and have to stay strong enough to overcome them.

Russia: a hundred year old photographs surface

Before the Russian Revolution and the First World War, time was being patient in Russia. Life was staying still. Photographer Sergei Mikhaliovich Prokudin-Gorskii, under the permission of Tzar Nicholas the second, took a series a photographs of the Russian Empire during 1909 and 1912. In a quick succession he captured black and white photographes using red, blue and green filters and then recombined and projected them in other to give us a glimpse of life in Russia nearly a 100 years ago.

The Strenght of You

I believe that no matter how you look like, your most important asset, your sexiest part is your brain. People see and define beauty in many ways, people find different things to be beautiful. As Tolstoy once said "You don't love a person because he or she are beautiful; they are beautiful because they love you."

Beauty is shallow and I mean it. Everytime I had relied on beauty in life, I was only left feeling hallow and alone. People tried to take advantage of my beauty and when they saw that they couldn't they left me alone. That made me feel like I wasn't worth anything more than a pretty face. One of the essential things that I've learnt so far is that the most important relationship that you'll ever have is the one with YOURSELF. And that is the relationship we have to work on. This is the person that you have to satisfy and keep happy, yourself.

You have to learn that people eventually will have the same image of you that you have of yourself. So, how can they love you if you cannot love yourself? Love yourself and be confident and when people will see that you respect yourself, they will respect you too. As I have seen men value much more confidence than beauty.

Accept your imperfections and learn that they can too can make you beautiful. Just think how incredible it is to find someone that considers even your flows to be beautiful. Remember that beauty comes in many shapes and sizes, just think about M. Monroe. She was gorgeus, but even she was overweight and often stuffed her bra.

Also, remember that you have a lot too offer. You are great, reliable, fascinating women !
