"Nearly every Teen Vogue reader I have come in contact with has asked me at least one of the questions at left, or some combination of several of them! I have always been impressed with how career-focused these young women (and men) are, and I eventually realized that we needed to create a book addressing the basic query: How do I break in to the fashion industry?\n\nThe truth is, becoming a stylist, a designer, a model, a fashion critic, or a photographer is not like becoming a doctor or a lawyer. One does not attend a specific sort of school, follow a prescribed course of study, and emerge ready to be employed. While concentrating on the fashion arenas where Teen Vogue has the most expertise\u2014design, styling, photography, and journalism\u2014the talents profiled in our handbook (from industry legends to up-and-comers) describe very idiosyncratic paths to success, and yet common threads of advice and experience emerge to provide an invaluable road map for young people. As such, the book is a useful, practical reference guide: How to build a portfolio, dress for an interview, and land an internship. But it is also a visual record of work by Teen Vogue&amp;#39;s most treasured collaborators. It is our world, and we invite you to join it and find your own path to living a creative life.\n\nFrom The Teen Vogue Handbook: An Insider&amp;#39;s Guide to Careers in the Fashion Industry, available October 5 wherever books are sold.
