MalinaJosephMalina Joseph starts blogging on Stardoll
Sorry it has taken me so long to post my introductory blog as a Stardoll but it has been a busy week at ELLE magazine. Everyone has just returned from the Spring 09 shows in Europe and without a second to digest all of the new trends and breathtaking collections we get to present to you, we went right into a week of consecutive photo shoots for our January and February issues.
Being on set is one of my favorite aspects of my job, especially when there is a new crop of clothing and accessories that you get to play with months before it even hits stores. Even though you only end up seeing a couple of looks on the model or actress, we bring countless racks of clothing, trays of blinding accessories and hundreds of towering stilettos.
Some of you are reading this and thinking to yourselves, I surely would-“great, but who is this girl and why is she a RC?” My name is Malina Joseph and I am an editor at ELLE magazine in New York City. I am thrilled to be apart of Stardoll, mostly for the fact that I can get ready for work every morning without taking off my pajamas, but in all honesty because I get to interact with so many people from all over the world.
In return, I will share my world with you and give you a glimpse into the chaotic fashion universe and my experiences-good and bad-from fashion week and photo shoots to events and style, etc. What I love about Stardoll is the forum of creativity it cultivates and the emphasis on personal expression and style.
ELLE magazine is all about personal style and showcasing trends and fashion in a unique way that is not exclusive to head-to-toe expensive designer looks. I love to hear from all of you and look to you for inspiration. Sign my guest book and tell me about what kids in your school or people in the towns you live in wear and clothing that you design for yourself.
Also, anyone who may have aspirations in the fashion industry, though there are over 21 million of you, I will try and answer questions as best I can and give advice.
I am so excited to be apart of Stardoll! Thank you to everyone who has already signed my guest book and made me feel so welcome. Check out my blog on ELLE.com on Thursday where I will be talking about the premiere episode of ELLE’s new television show, STYLISTA, where I serve as mentor to 11 contestants competing for an editor position at ELLE magazine.
