Salve Tutti!! Have you ever walked into an office and it felt like home?? Well guys let me tell you how AMAZING it felt to walk into the office of Vogue Italia....that's right Vogue Italia!!! Other then the offices walking through the halls felt just like home. The workers were socializing, probably working but they seem of carefree and blissful. There were clear plastic walls covered in writing with different quotes and sayings, it was a thrill to be there. But wait, I haven't told you the best part.....I was in the office of the editor and chief Franca Sozzani, yes I said editor and chief, how awesome is that! We were given a tour by Senior Fashion Editor Sara Maino, which was the second best thing about today. As we were talking with Sara, that's right we're on first name basis, she reassured me that Vogue is where I want to be and I would love to start in Milano. The style of the magazine is for the passionate fashion lover. They reach many demographics by presenting issues such as this month’s plus size issue and an all African American that was done last year. The magazine is presented with an edge but still has the sophistication of Vogue.
That was just the beginning of my day.
After the visit to Vogue we attended a photo shoot that was a real eye-opener to what goes on behind the scenes of the magazine. Students at the Milano Istituto Europeo di Design were given denim as a trend for a photo shoot, in which they had to find a topic and incorporate denim, and some of the shoots they talked about were fascinating, and the one we saw today was really impressive. The topic for the shoot we viewed today was of a pin-up girl, very sexy, right? It was so much fun being on the shoot and seeing the model interact with the photographer and camera; I was truly intrigued. The day didn't end there...nope...after the shoot we headed to the exclusive Tommy Hilfiger Denim Store Premier party! Sexy models, cocktails, being the first to view the collection great way to end the day, right?!
So our day closed with a great party and more incredible food! Well I'm signing off, tomorrow the Duomo, super excited to climb to the top! Vederla domani!!
P.s. french fries in Milan are the same as those in the states...lol!
