"Go hard or go home!"

There hasn't been a more inspiring issue of ELLE than in October edited my interns. For a person like me, who is trying to crash into the fashion industry and make something big out of life, this magazine is the biggest source of hope and encouragement. It has made me believe in myself more than everything else has before.  So I had a thought to share with you the wisdom I found in it.
