PAPER
Out of all the publications I read cover-to-cover as a teenager, Paper truly spoke to me. I love fashion, but I also love irreverence and individuality and iconoclasts. Paper is the best of both. In 2012, after a season of freelance fashion week reporting, I was hired as associate editor. The dream role was hands-on and allowed me experience every facet of magazine development.
Front of Book
I helped shape Paper’s style and culture coverage by spotting trends and uncovering new talent for the Style Snaps, Film Shorts, Paperview Fashion, and Paperview Music pages. One of my favorite jobs was writing quippy, yet descriptive, copy for the table of contents.
Features
An industry disruptor, a downtown art collective, and an indie band on tour: three of my favorite bylines.
The Beautiful People Issue
Paper’s annual round-up of the creative forces defining culture (even if you haven’t heard of them yet). For the 2014 issue, I was apart of pitching talent, writing their stories, and producing the 46 photo shoots.
Trend Reports
Mainstream brands looked to Paper for what was in and what wasn’t across fashion, entertainment, design, and more. I produced and contributed to this report for Target in 2014.
