Fahion Magazines, Fashion Writing and an Elle Woods Moment

Posted by LIM College on Thu, Apr 07, 2011 @ 09:55 AM

This week was a rather boring one for my friends and me. Apparently, this is the week when my professors like to overflow me with work and make it impossible for me to have any fun. I just keep telling myself that in the end it will all be worth it.

One of my classes that is a requirement for Marketing majors is Business Law (taught by Professor Brotz). It is probably one of my most surprising courses. I had a bit of an Elle Woods moment where I contemplated law school. It is one of my most interesting classes and consists of everything from doing role-plays to analyzing movies that have to do with court cases.

My favorite classes are Fashion Writing and Fashion Magazines! Professor Hallay, like many teachers here at LIM College, has real industry experience. She was a fashion forecaster and trend reporter for Doneger Group and was responsible for her own fashion magazine.

In Fashion Magazines our end of the year project is to construct our own magazine. My career goal is to be a trend reporter, so my whole magazine is a forecasting magazine about what I think the future trends will be. We get to direct and style our own photo shoots and come up with ideas for articles – it really is so much fun.

The same goes for my online Fashion Writing course. I am given a different topic each week and have to develop and article/or story based on that topic. With Professor Hallay my writing has improved immensely. I suggest everyone take her for at least one class.

Looking Back: Winter Break - Looking Forward: Spring Classes

Posted by LIM College on Mon, Jan 24, 2011 @ 12:05 PM

This past week was the start of my second semester as a freshman at LIM College. I’m currently working towards a bachelor's degree in Marketing with a concentration in Fashion Publishing, with hopes of one day becoming an editor at a men’s lifestyle/fashion magazine (like GQ or Details).

My winter break was anything but a bore. If you read my past blog posts you know that for my Work Project I internship I worked at Tommy Hilfiger on Fifth Avenue in New York City. I was a sales associate and an in-store Public Relations Assistant. Instead of ending my Work Project internship when the semester was over, I decided to keep it. So for my whole winter break, I worked and worked. I assisted with high-profile clientele and tried to sell as many Tommy Hilfiger sweaters to tourist as I could.

Now I’m at the start of a new semester. My class load is filled to the max with 19 credits and I'm taking classes I’m interested in to complete my concentration. These include Fashion Magazines and Fashion Writing. I'm also taking Business Law, Marketing, and other courses.
