Im only fifteen but im very interested in pursuing a career in a fashion magazine. Perhaps starting with an internship. Any pointers that you have for me, what kind of subjects i should be doing, or how i could possbily apply for a job when i get older. Also if you have any ideas for good magazines in Australia like Vouge..

    in yr 10 i did my work experience week at vogue australia which was fun but i would recommend a magazine like madison as it is more content driven and vogue seemed to lack something, also russh would be amazing to try, two of my friends did their work experience week at magazines one at bazaar and the other at madison, the girl at madison seemed to have had a really good time so that would be good for you to look into so that you can make sure fashion is what you want to do.
    the fashion business is extremly bitchy though so be prepared.
    In school keep you english up and try doing an extension english for the hsc. also whatever you do, do not bother with textiles as it is completely irrelevant for working at one of these mags unless u want to be a fashion assistant which may as well be furniture. in uni you should look into going to sydney uni and doing a journalism course, the marks for this are really high at about 98 i think
    btw i assumed u lived in sydney as most headoffices for the mags are in the sydney cbd
    hope this helps :)
