During the rest of the day, I write, edit, produce, and appear in a variety of articles, videos, and photo shoots, and it can be as varied as styling a photoshoot of real pregnant women with amazing maternity style to eating a cronut on camera to writing about the 20 new indie designers who’ve proven they’re worth their salt.

I’m never really doing the same thing hour-to-hour, but it all contributes to making sure that those 80 stories go up in the best, most awesome condition that they can!

CF: What’s your favorite piece in your closet?

CW: Right now, my favorite piece is a high-waisted, high-water, stone-washed, stove-pipe shaped pair of Cheap Monday jeans I bought on ASOS on sale. They sound hideous, and I’m pretty sure lots of people would think they were in person too, but I’m obsessed with them right now. They’re so cool and quirky, but still perform the same kind of aesthetic job as a regular pair of jeans would, so I can wear them with anything.

CF: What advice would you give to a College Fashion reader that wants your job?

CW: Be thoughtful about how you write, and develop a point of view. The saddest thing in the world is a young person who writes with the joy and fresh-faced inspiration of a worn-down industry vet. That marriage of careful writing and an original voice pretty much guarantees you a job.
