如何才能混迹于时尚界

　　Kelly Cutrone receives between 75 and 100 inquiries every day, mostly from young women and gay men around the globe. Their request is always the same: they are asking for an internship at her company, People’ s Revolution. With a PR agency that represents some of the biggest names in the fashion industry – in the UK alone, labels on her roster include Henry Holland and Agent Provocateur – Cutrone has become a lighthouse for aspiring fashion folk. Here, she offers some insider advice.

　　 凯利·卡托尼每天都会收到75 封到100 封申请信，大部分来自全世界的年轻女性和男同性恋。他们的申请内容往往都一样：在她的公司“人民革命”中谋得一个实习职位。她的这个公关公司的客户有一些时尚界最响当当的名字——仅就英国来说，她的品牌名单中就包括亨利·霍兰和大内密探——卡托尼已经成为有志从事时尚工作的人的灯塔。以下是她作为业内人士所提供的一些建议。

　　1. Interns: work hard and don’t complain 实习生：努力工作，不要抱怨

　　People want to work in fashion and go to fashion shoots because it looks glamorous. What they don’t realise is that you have to walk around the city, picking up clothes in garment bags and filling out insurance forms. When you get to the photo shoot no one is going to care that you are there, even though you are really pretty and went to a really great school. They are going to say, “Hey, you” 700 times, “Go get me a coffee”, or “Can you make this 15-yearold model who is seven foot taller than you and getting paid $10,000, while you are working for free, feel good?” That’s the reality. If it hurts your feelings, then you’re in the wrong industry.

　　人们想在时尚界工作、拍摄时尚大片，是因为这看起来很光鲜。他们所不了解的是，从事时尚工作意味着你得在城市中奔走，取走服装袋包着的衣服，填写保险单。当你到达拍摄现场时，没有人会注意到你的到来，即使你非常漂亮，上的是非常好的学校。他们会说700 次“喂，你”，“ 给我端杯咖啡”或是“你能让这个比你高7 英尺的15 岁模特心情变好吗？这个模特挣一万美元，而你却是无偿工作。”这就是现实。如果这会伤害你的感情，那么你进错行了。

　　 2. Consistency is key 坚持是关键

　　Consistency is such a simple thing: if you show up somewhere every day and get the job done right, over and over, then things grow. At People’s Revolution, when people are doing a good job, we always make a point to acknowledge it, remember their name and invite them for dinner. But you have to wait, that’s just how it works.

　　 坚持是如此简单：如果你每天都在某个地方出现，将工作做好，长此以往，事情就会取得进展。在“人民革命”，当员工表现出色时，我们总会特别表扬，记住他们的名字并且邀请他们共进晚餐。但你得等到这一天，这个行业就是这样。
