Nice perks! I get to travel between our offices in Chengdu, HongKong, and Europe , which is exciting and a privilege. 
My advice for breaking in to fashion: There are a lot of nondesigner jobs in fashion: writers,bloggers,tech jobs, like Web developers, and graphic design jobs. Look at your talents, and there’s probably a fashion job for them.
Worst advice I ever got: When I decided to go to IF fashion, people said, “What are you thinking? A start-up? Online fashion? You’re crazy!” But you wear more hats than you do in an established company, so you learn how to do more. Don’t be scared of a start-up.To score a fashion gig, “show your unique aesthetic,” 
Our advice for breaking in to fashion: Intern! We interned all during school, and it made us pay attention to production, like which fabric mills to use. 
My typical plugged-in, 24/7 day: I go to showrooms, take photos, and meet with my team or customers to discuss what story we’re seeing. Then I create a bulletin board for each story and call in the clothes, shoes, and accessories we like. As an editor-in-chief I review them all. Before I’m even out of bed, I’m checking Wechat, Weibo,Facebook, Twitter, Pinterest, Tumblr, Instagram, and so on—and I manage all of them, posting updates and photos and responding to customer-service questions. At the store I live-moment when I see sth interesting . Social media truly never stops. But I have a rule that when I’m with my friends and family, I keep my phone in my bag so I can give them my full attention.
