The Devil Wears Henry Winston
My pride and joy!
Although my supervisor has a Meryl Streep finesse to her, my experience at the magazine has been far from what anyone who’s familiar with Miranda Priestly would expect. I met the coolest people, attended some exciting events and learned a ton about publishing (not to mention jewellery, spelled the British way of course). My supervisors all provided great guidance and support–especially my deskmate Rachael who was both mentor and friend during my stay. Now to get her to visit SF!
The latest issue of the magazine came out during my last internship week, which was perfect timing. It’s so rewarding to see my work published and my name listed as a contributor. I have officially added a glossy to my portfolio. Too bad I couldn’t stay one more week–my supervisor invited me on an expense paid trip to Brighton for a photoshoot but it took place the day before I flew back to SF so I couldn’t make it.
In addition to international internship wrap-up, our class paid a visit to the Museum of Brands, Packaging and Advertising to take a look at how marketing has changed throughout the years. The museum had an extensive collection of products, advertisements and posters dating from 1890. Below are some pictures from the trip.

Additionally, me and some of the girls hiked around Hampstead Heath which boasts one of the highest points in all of London. It was truly picturesque.

Later we roamed around Canary Wharf, London’s financial district, where we enjoyed wine and tapas.

I adore the movie “The Devil Wears Prada”so I loved you reference to the movie about being in the fashion industry. I have enjoyed reading your blogs during your trip. It always felt like I was right there with you as you discovered Primark, had your first article published on the company website, and had way to much fun singing karaoke. It has read to be an amazing trip. I am so glad you has a great time.
woo hoo!
From San Fran to London, you’re blazing a trail of success!! Interesting read, nice work boo…
I love your blog. Its inspirational, since I would also like to intern for Emap. I’m glad to hear that it’s not completely like the show “Fashionista.” Thanks for writing the blog!!
