"Can you imagine spending your days surrounded by all the Proenza, Prada, and Prabal a girl could ever dream of? Well, at just 25 years old, Barneys&amp;#39; Laura Stoloff is living the dream.\n\n Though her job at one of the world&amp;#39;s most important luxury retailers has her swimming in designer duds, she opted for a more classical education at Colgate University, where she majored in English and Art History. But fashion was always in the background for the stylish coed: A creative writing focus in her studies complemented her work for the school newspaper, where she wrote a weekly fashion column and climbed up the editorial ranks. She was exposed to the world of couture via a glamorous post-college internship in Paris and landed at Barneys as a Fashion Assistant upon her return to the States. After a promotion, the company created the Assistant Fashion Director position just for her a few months back.\n\n The role means her hands are constantly in a million different insanely stylish pots, as she runs between market appointments, puts together trend reports for the entire company, and oversees private label design. We met up with Laura for a tour of Barneys&amp;#39; Madison Avenue flagship and the inside scoop on how she got to where she is.
