In an interview with Elle's blog, editrix Anne Slowey (who also stars in the fashion rag's reality series Stylista) reveals her Fashion Week survival tips. First off, never wear a "full look" from a designer to their collection presentation. The key is sporting one or two pieces, Slowey says. And "never change from one show to the next" (someone should have told MisShape Leigh Lezark, who swamped ensembles in between Phillip Lim 3.1 and Alexandre Herchovitch yesterday; the two shows started just one hour apart).

Just how possible is it to advocate environmental sustainability and run a fashion mag? Just ask Anne Slowey, the theatrically menacing editor at Elle.

I suppose that's more effective now that wannabes aren't so eager to intern at the magazine.
