Past (Update)

A million years ago I worked in a LA design school as a placement coordinator assisting graduates with getting internships or employment with designers.   I was in my very early thirties and the job barely registered a blip on my overall career trajectory.  It did not last long because I veered into the non-profit social service world where I felt I really belonged.  I would, after the age of 40, receive a BS and MPA and make my career home at a small private non-profit organization providing advocacy for older adults.

Secretly though, I think about what would happened if I stayed.  Could I be a stylist or a fashion assistant or editor?  

I'll never know.  

I love this interview with Lucinda Chambers, decades long fashion director at British Vogue.  She really has no love for bull-shittery which I imagine makes up for about ninety-eight percent of the fashion industry.  

If I were to have had a career in fashion this is the type of woman I would want to work for.

UPDATE: So as it turns out the interview I link to above was construed a certain way to create a particular narrative about her (her words were totally taken out of context).  She, LC as I call her now, was not as abrasive as the interviewer led us to believe.  I am quite sure she has balls of steel, but after reading a bit more about her, she did not tell BV to f*ck off.  She is a professional after all.
