All I did my first year at Vogue was Xerox.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
When I started in 1992, I really thought the 'Vogue' fashion department was one of the most frightening places on the planet.
'Vogue' is a very beautiful magazine, an institution, and I learned so much working there.
I was successful very quickly. I was on the cover of 'Vogue' before I knew it.
The eight months I took off between 'Teen Vogue' and 'Lucky' afforded me such amazing opportunities, and I learned so much from so many different people - the brands that I worked with, the companies that I was consulting for.
Yves Saint Laurent was my first fashion show. I wore his tuxedo. And Helmut Newton was my first photographer, in 1973. I was really very lucky. I had an amazing career.
We always had 'Vogue' in our house. But, when I was around 12, my Mom finally took me seriously about modeling and put a stack of magazines in front of me, then told me to study all the poses. The ones I loved the most were in 'Vogue.'
I got an offer at 'Vogue.' And I desperately wanted to work in magazines. My interest wasn't in fashion, but when you get an offer right out of college for a magazine that big - I decided that it was probably better to start at a big name magazine, even if I wasn't necessarily fascinated with the subject.
I was twelve years old when I started reading 'Vogue.'
I didn't even know 'Vogue' existed when I was growing up.
My mother was a beauty queen in her hey day. That's where I learnt a little about makeup and hair... I had never picked up or even seen a 'Vogue' before I was 17. I had no idea about fashion, magazines, models or designers. No idea.
