Meet the interns!

Hi there! So let me start by introducing myself, my name is Deanna and I’m an intern here at glamour. Since the hot topic seems to be interns within the last few days, Suze thought it would be the perfect idea to introduce some of Glamour’s interns, and asked me to actually write it myself so I could not have been more honored. Thanks Suze!

So let the introduction begin….

Here’s me! My name is Deanna and I intern for fashion assistant Liza Collis and fashion market director Sarah Meikle, and could not ask for anything better!

Where do you go to school, when do you graduate and what’s your major?

I am a senior studying fashion marketing at the Laboratory Institute of Merchandising.

How did you get this internship?

Well, I actually interned for Liza last spring and I had such a great time working with her that I came back to do my senior co-op project at Glamour.

Give us the scoop on what you do here at Glamour.

Returns! Returns! Returns! I am constantly keeping track and organizing of samples that are coming and going. I collect looks from style.com and make look books to create storyboards for upcoming stories.

What has been the most exciting thing you have experienced here at Glam so far?

There are lots of awesome things happening all the time, just getting to handle all the great, fabulous clothes that come in is super exciting. But I think the most exciting was definitely getting the chance to go to the Anna Sui show during fashion week.

What do you love about your internship?

I love getting to see everything come together in the magazine. After seeing clothes that I worked with in the magazine it’s nice to say “I worked on that!”

What do you loathe?

Drowning in tons and tons of swim returns!!

Best kept secret…

I can play a mean game of golf.

Any advice to other girls looking to get a fabulous internship like this one?

Always be persistent and proactive, never give up, and of course be ready to work hard!

Maisha Grigsby is Madeline and Suze’s intern and with her sweet little Southern accent she couldn’t be any cuter!

Where do you go to school and what is your major and year?

Well, I usually attend Fisk University in Nashville, Tennessee where I am currently a sophomore majoring in history and sociology. This semester I am attending New York University, where I am a part of the “Spring in New York” program. I am LOVING every minute of it! I don’t want to go home!

How did you get this internship?

It’s amazing how I got this internship actually, my friend Kendra was contacted by Glamour for the internship, but she had already accepted a position elsewhere. Being a good friend, she told Madeline about me, I emailed her and the rest is history!

Give us the scoop on what you do here at Glamour.

Well basically I am Madeline’s, Suze’s amazing assistant’s intern. I help Madeline with whatever she needs. Big or small, I can do it!

What has been the most exciting thing you have experienced here at Glamour?

Last week actually I was running up and down Manhattan trying to cast for the “Worst Hair in America”. The criteria, which I won’t describe was the fun part! It was hard but I had a blast picking out people!!

Best Kept Secret…

All my friends ask me “Is it like The Devil Wears Prada?” NO! The people here at Glamour are smart, beautiful, and chic but very kind and considerate! None of that diva attitude! And the food at Conde Nast is soo good!!!

Any advice to other girls looking to get a fabulous internship like this one?

Network! And be yourself, never give up and SMILE!!
