The networking challenge

Before jumping head first in to this subject, it is important that you do your homework. But before doingyour homework, you need to know what to study. All magazines of reputehave a very specific hierarchy. It generally goes as follows.Publisher, Editor in Chief, Creativeand or Art Director,Fashion Director, Beauty Director and Fashion and Beauty Editors.

To add to the mix, most of these magazines use outside sources of Fashion ad Beauty Editors who work freelance for severalof the Top FashionMagazines. It is your job to decide which magazines you want to scopeout and research who does what and with whom. It is also important toknow who they work with on their home turf and who they collaborate withwhen they shoot in the different cities of importance to them. To knowthis, you will have to know when all of the Fashion Weeks take placeand who will be there and which Stylists are wring with which magazines.Stylists for all intent and purpose are considered Fashion or BeautyEditors. You may call them Fashion and Beauty Stylists as well.
