Get ready for a bottomless mimosa brunch with me and my ~refreshingly relatable and inspirationally insightful~ guest, @NaomiElizée. At age 25, Naomi is an associate market editor at — wait for it — Vogue. On top of her full time job, Naomi is the creator and host of "So...What Do You Do Again?" Podcast, a freelance model for brands like Nike and a content creator on Instagram.
We kick episode 7 off with a candid conversation about her career journey. Straight out of college, Naomi landed what she thought would've been her dream PR position. But when she found herself continuously crying in the bathroom, she realized that wasn't the case (12:20). Desperate for change, Naomi re-entered the editorial world at Vanity Fair about 6 months later (13:35). She spills her secrets to stepping into an assistant role at Vogue (16:10) that soon turned into an associate editor promotion (23:00).
From offering advice on breaking into the fashion industry (16:40, 20:40) to revealing what it's like to pitch an idea to Anna Wintour (24:30), Naomi is a hustler ... a badass hustler. She admits writing may not be her strong suit, but her outlook on improving is one you need to hear (27:20).
We also chat about what it's like to attend NYFW (32:40), how to network at fashion events (37:30), what to wear to these events (42:10) and how to maintain relationships within the industry (40:40).
I introduce a new rapid fire game called "Keep or Kick," where my guests "keep" or "kick" certain fashion trends (49:05). And we close out the episode with a relatable chat about the work/life balance struggle (50:00).
Calling all fashion-obsessed girl gazers. This is an episode you won't want to miss!
