Although New York Fashion Week didn’t officially start until two days after AmberMag’s Survival Secrets of Game Changers event with stylist to the stars Rachel Johnson and style expert and author Daisy Lewellyn, it was a great way to kick off the fashionable festivities.
Hosted by Marcia Cole, founder of AmberMag, the event was packed with over 100 beautiful and like-minded women eager to learn the secrets from the night’s industry pros: Johnson and Lewellyn. Held at the UniWorld offices here in New York City, Johnson and Lewellyn dished about the do’s and the don’ts of making it in the fickle fashion business.
Having helped transform athletes such as Amar’e Stoudemire and Carmelo Anthony into rising fashion figures, Johnson was completely candid and transparent in divulging what it took for her to become the authority on styling some of the most prominent professional athletes in sports.
While Lewellyn who has worked at various fashion glossies served as the moderator throughout the evening, she also shared personal stories and informational tidbits on how to make it in fashion journalism.
From how to land a coveted internship to how to act professionally at industry fetes to the importance of staying humble, they spilled the beans on everything that any aspiring celebrity fashion stylist or editor would need to know to make it in the oftentimes cut-throat industry.
If you’d like to learn from seasoned pros in the beauty, fashion, media, and non-profit sectors, AmberMag’s Survival Secret speaker series is an event that you won’t want to miss.
