My First Fashion Week
10 years ago by
I wanted to share my new Wall Street Journal article with all of you…
It’s all about my first fashion week experience! You can read the article here (I’ve put a quote below to entice you!!!)(Did it work?)
“Strange music was pounding from a tent in the distance and, suddenly, there they were. Creatures walking with a long and elegant step, wearing high heels like they were born in them. Colors, shapes and outfits cooler than I had ever seen in any magazine, because this was that perfect intersection between editorial and reality.
I was so shocked I couldn’t even raise my camera.”
Kisses!
Garance

Ok, je file lire l’article ! L’extrait est parfait :)

where is your notebook from? So pretty!
J’aime bien ce que tu dis ! En fait j’aime bien ta façon de t’enthousiasmer ! Tu vois moi, lorsque je bossais dans la mode et que j’assistais aux défilés ou allais à des soirées etc je n’ai jamais été impressionnée d’être là, c’est pas que je sois blasée mais je crois que je ne suis pas très impressionnable. Pour moi on est tous égaux, avec des métiers différents, c’est tout. En revanche je comprends l’excitation de réussir dans ce que l’on entreprend et le plaisir de la reconnaissance.

Thanks so much for sharing this with us! I’m so jealous that you get to write for your blog AND a newspaper. How lucky are you? Can I be you?
Your Friend, Jess
Comment ça ta première fashion week ? Tu n’en as pas déjà fait plein ? Ce sont des souvenirs ?
J’ai hâte de lire ton article :)
That was a great article with an amazing message – love the message about the honeymoon phase vs. the rest of your life – applies to anything ones passionate about and plan on spending time on for the long run
I wish I could join you, but have fun! Btw saw you illustrations at a store named the Bijenkorf in Amsterdam. Felt weird knowing I also read your blog :D. Well done and congratulations on it!

Ah, yes :-) I found out about that article yesterday via facebook and I loved reading it! So funny, exactly the quote above kept coming back in my mind and I was thinking, that probably the same thing would happen to me if I ever become so lucky to be there! xxx
Garannce !!!!!!!! le Wall Street Journal !!!!!!!!!!
Alllllezzzzzzz !!! La classe internationale ! Tu n’as rien avoué, mais je l’ai lu dans les trois petits points qui suivent le bien dénommé !
Congrat’s Garance ! Ca gère, et ca fait trop rêver !
Bisous ! (et maintenant, je vais lire le Wall Street…ahahah !)
aaaand with that quote I’m heading to the article!
Thank you for sharing this, Garance! It’s an inspiration to those of us still starting out. Thank you for not forgetting your beginnings (though you’re an old pro and fashion week insider now).

je l’ai lu, et je peux en dire un mot : génial! C’est vrai que ça doit être géniale aussi d’assister aux Fashion Week… et très sportif niveau boulot je te l’accorde. Bref Garance tu es génial!

Garance, quel bel article! Merci de nous faire rêver à tes côtés!
Bises, Florine
Oui, ça a marché à la perfection ! Maintenant, je regrette juste d’avoir séché les cours d’anglais au lycée.
J’ai adoré cet article, j’aimerais bien vivre la même vie!

Fantastic write-up. I love how you still sound like a starry-eyed fashion lover. Indeed Carine Rotfield’s advice could apply to just about anything in life….sometimes there are supernova events that will blow us away but for most of the time we should look for the sparkle to keep us intrigued and excited.

J’ai adoré cet article ! Surtout la partie avec Carine. J’ai trouvé ça très intéressant de savoir ce qui motive les “anciens”. Je penserai toujours à cela dans mon travail (je suis event manager de la -encore- petite Oslo Fashion Week :)
Merci, donc !
merci Garance pour les adresses… et puis bon courage…. Si ça se trouve tu auras plus tard envie de passer de l’autre coté et faire de dessins pour une collection ;-).
Je l’avais déjà lu! (via le lien mis sur FB il y a quelques jours ;)
Super article! Et puis m***! C’est le Wall Street journal quand même! Bravo! :)
Bises Garance
Excusez-moi Garance, mais quel stylo avez-vous utilisé pour écrire dans le journal? Ou avez-vous utilisé l’ordinateur? Merci!
J’ai découvert ton blog à ses débuts et je te lis toujours avec plaisir. Tu nous ouvre les portes de cet univers fascinant et mystérieuxqu’est celui de la mode tout en le rendant plus humain et accessible.
Merci ! J’adore tes illustrations aussi :)
Félicitations, Garance! Terrific article. You have such a wonderful perspective, both incredibly fashion forward, and yet relatable and timeless. You have two very big fans here at FauxFancy.com!

Auh Garance, haven’t you been to other Fashion Weeks before?
This can’t be your first.

This makes me feel so proud of you!
Fantastic article, Garance, congratulations! I happen to love stories and thought your telling of your first fashion week was especially vivid and fun-great expression. Thanks for sharing, and also for being a fabulous example of achieving one’s goals and dreams through hard work and dedication. It’s inspiring!
What a great article for the WSJ. Very nice, very well done, congratulations. Like Sartorialist said, you are not only a writer, you are a communicator.
I can easily see why you received a book deal – which I can hardly wait to read it when it comes out.
My first fashion week as really superb, I was a bit nervous while the fashion show. But it was really awesome. I read your article and I really enjoy this.
