This book is a fun read for a long plane flight or a long road trip. But almost all of the suggestions are just a brush on the surface. Read it to get an idea or to get you excited about a career choice, but it doesn't give you much to work with to get you in the right direction. The examples stories and interviews in the book are fun to read. And the pictures are very eye candy (just like Teen Vogue Magazine). For example one of the designers in the book said that you should try to get an internship to get a good idea of the fashion business....well, duhhh...everyone knows that. Plus, he doesn't tell you how to find the internship, how to get an interview for the internship, what you should do on the interview (how to answer the interview questions, what to wear, what designers are looking for in an intern, etc... so there are a lot of unanswered questions that the book left out. After reading this book, I felt that I was still lost and I had to dig into other sources (very hard to find) to uncover more tips and secrets of the trade.

This is honestly way better than I expected. There are quotes and interviews with people from literally every part of the fashion industry from makeup artists, to models, to editors. I have never gotten this much honest information anywhere else about 'the real world'. Most of the advice is the same; put your resume out there and intern as much as possible. But learning what famous people like Marc Jacobs did to get started is truly inspirational. I especially loved the fact that the majority of the people in the book had majored something else, then just sort of fell into fashion. It's nice to know that there isn't one set way. Parsons is NOT the only way to get your name out there in the fashion world. I would recommend this book to anyone who has even thought about a career in beauty or fashion.

This book is an absolutely incredible resource for anyone already in the fashion industry--or trying to break into it. It has interviews and career tips from industry greats (Anna Wintour), the biggest designers (Karl Lagerfeld, Marc Jacobs, Stella McCartney, Alexander Wang, Tory Burch, Phillip Lim, Proenza Schouler, Thakoon), amazing photographers (Mario Testino, Bruce Weber, Patrick Demarchelier, Arthur Elgort), and even models like Chanel Iman. Seriously a MUST-HAVE.

My 14 year old daughter LOVES this book. She gave one to her best friend as a gift and she also loved it. Loads of pictures and interesting info. She picks it up often and has taken it with us on trips. It's been fun and was well worth buying!

Purchased this book for my daughter who is a few months shy of being a teen. She has told us for two years she wants to be a fashion designer. This book has photographers, designers, colleges-just a great resource of who's who in the fashion industry and how to get started. She carries it around like a fashion bible..great buy.

I bought two to give to each of my nieces. After receiving, I was tempted to keep one for myself. Lots of fun photos and good fashion industry information. A fun book to peruse with friends or while listening to the radio!

this item arrived quickly and in pristine condition. i just started reading but it seems very informative and just what i wanted. thanks!

I am a subsciber at teen vogue magazine, and I read fashion magazines in general but I had never imagined what it was like behind the photoshoots and the glamorous clothes. This book is a great guide, and anybody who wants to know about the fashion world should definetly read this book. Inspiring, informative, a great read for anyone who's interested.

The Teen Vogue Handbook it's amazing and Amazon made it all so easy and quickly, it's the best thing I could've done

A great book for anyone interested in the world of fashion. A lot of images to go along with the words.
