Changing Perspectives of Marie Claire Magazine

One of the main reasons that I am partaking in this internship at Marie Claire Magazine today, isn’t just because of my love for fashion and marketing, although those are large factors, but instead it is because the minute I watched the movie Devil Wears Prada, I knew I wanted to be Anne Hathaway’s character. The funny thing is that years later, although many may laugh at that movie and may think as I thought that it’s such an exaggeration of what the fashion world truly is, after partaking in my internship I have made the accusation that Devil Wears Prada depicts a pretty accurate representation of what it means to be an intern in the fashion world. Although a lot of my tasks included attending marketing appointments to go over new collections, packing up trunks for photo shoots and sending requests for photo shoots, I also served as Anne Hathaway running all over the city to pick up outfits from designers, scheduling appointments for my boss and running to four different locations just to pick her up her favorite magazine. I realized that in this culture, the magazine culture, it doesn’t matter what the weather is like outside or if you have evening plans, you stay until all of your work gets completed and you complete the tasks without questions or complaints because it wasn’t too long ago that my boss and the other editors were in my position doing the tasks that I am partaking in as well.
