FAD Magazine visits Teen Vogue offices in NYC!

Hey All! What a fantastic Tuesday. Our fashion magazine at school, FAD Magazine, took a trip to the Teen Vogue Offices!
This wonderful opportunity came about when Alice and our friend Magica attended a Teen Vogue-sponsored event at the Louis Vuitton store in NYC last month. In a room full of editors and celebrities, Alice was able to speak with Amy Astly, Editor-In-Cheif, and Eva Chen, the Beauty and Health Director for Teen Vogue. Eva graciously offered Alice to set up a visit so that FAD staff could come and take a tour of the office and learn about the production of the magazine. It was truly an amazing experience and we definitely learned a lot.


Thank you so so much to everyone at the Teen Vogue offices and especially Eva Chen (beauty and health director)!

Besides the fantastic tour that we were given, Eva spoke to us about the magazine and its history, some of her experience, and she answered some questions of ours!
This will be featured in the next issue of FAD Magazine (so keep a look out!)
but here is a little sneak peak:

When asked what advice she would give to budding writers/artists/designers/fashionistas, Eva said to do what you love. Practice with everything that you can! This includes a blog (check!), a school magazine, newspaper, yearbook, etc. Yet, don't be afraid to try other things. Absorb everything and anything that you can and enjoy it all!
