After six years, our editor alyssavingan says goodbye to Fashionista:
Author:Alyssa Vingan KleinPublish date:Aug 30, 2019When I had my official interview for an editorial internship at the old Fashionista.com offices on Mott Street in the fall of 2009, I was visiting New York for a much less exciting reason. I was recovering from a bilateral mastectomy — the final step in my treatments for breast cancer — and was due for a follow-up with my surgeons at New York-Presbyterian hospital.
People say that timing is everything, and in my case, the cliché couldn't be more true. I happened to graduate right after the recession, and the lack of prospects opened my mind to some very new possibilities — particularly, those on the internet. Instead of applying for editorial roles at magazines, I reached out to the websites that were steadily gaining steam. I joined Twitter. I bookmarked top blogs. I became an encyclopedia for models and "It" girls.
I was able to convince Fashionista's next crop of editors — namely Lauren Sherman and Leah Chernikoff — to keep me around. I pitched them in a freelance capacity for years, and they put an incredible amount of trust in me and my ideas for two people I barely knew. I will never forget their thoughtfulness and generosity, and I owe much of my career success to them.
My more surreal moments include, but are not limited to: flying across the Atlantic in a plane full of Victoria's Secret Angels, getting an unbelievable soundbite from the late, great Karl Lagerfeld, being called "a bully" by Whoopi Goldberg on "The View" after reporting that editors left a fashion show when they were seated near Tiffany Trump and going viral enough on Twitter to become actual pals with my dream girl, Bella Hadid.
