Over the weekend of October 18th, 2013, I was blessed to be one of the hundreds of fashion leaders from all over the world to participate in Teen Vogue’s Fashion University.

Over the weekend of October 18th, 2013, I was blessed to be one of the hundreds of fashion leaders from all over the world to participate in Teen Vogue’s Fashion University. This program included speakers such as Amy Astley (Editor-in-Chief of Teen Vogue), Elaine Welteroth (Beauty Editor of Teen Vogue), Thakoon Panichgul (Designer), Joseph Altuzarra (Luxury Designer), Emily Weiss (Founder and Creative Director of the website Into the Gloss) and many other prominent people in the fashion industry. People were dressed fabulously and I met some amazing people just by talking about their outfits.
