But it’s not all wine and roses. Interns often endure long hours, grueling pressure, and mundane tasks—and all of this without pay. The life as an intern, especially in the fashion industry, is far from the glamorous world

If you’re anything like us, you associate the early part of September with the madness of New York Fashion Week. Oh, but September is so much much than that fast-paced, magazine editor and celeb filled event that takes up just over one week out of the month. But just over the pond, there’s another– and some would argue better– runway explosion: London Fashion Week. And, wouldn’t you know it, LFW’s schedule just debuted.

With a recent ash burial for the late Alexander McQueen, the fashion world is obviously still in the grips of a great loss since the designer’s suicide last February. But, McQueen’s fashion legacy carried on this past weekend in a simple men’s collection at Milan Fashion Week under the direction of longtime McQueen assistant and now brand Creative Director, Sarah Burton. Yes—the late designer was known for his wacky and fantastical men’s collections, but somehow Burton’s u
