The Fashion Gossip With: Jacklyn Lerner!
What’s the first thing that comes to mind when you think of the word “fashion?” Did you ever think about becoming a huge fashion designer someday? Why did you choose the outfit that you are wearing right now to put on today? My cousin, Jackie, is a designer in Beverly Hills, California. Jackie is 22 years old. She helps design and pick out clothes for famous celebrities. She has since become friends with a bunch of famous celebrities because of her job. Jackie went to a designer college in L.A. where she learned how to become a designer. She designs and picks out clothes for different people everyday. She helps pick out clothes for people on the front cover of magazines, which I think, is really cool! The kinds of clothes that she designs are usually different types of jeans and jackets. Me (reporter): What makes working with fashion so great? Jackie: What makes it so great is getting to see all the things in style before anyone knows about them, and getting to meet famous celebrities. Me: What do you love the most about your job? Jackie: I love getting to see my name on things and what people think about what I design. Me: What is the most important thing to you in fashion? Jackie: The most important thing is definitely treating people the way you want to be treated. That’s true even in life, not just the fashion world. Me: What’s your favorite everyday accessory?
P.1
Jackie: Hats! I love hats! They are so cute and fashionable! Me: Do you have any advice for people that want to be professional designers when they’re older? Jackie: Just always think outside of the box and be creative! Just never give up!! Me: What do you think is the best way to describe fashion in three words? Jackie: Personality, attitude, and creativeness because you need all three of those to become very successful in fashion! Me: Why does fashion matter? Jackie: It matters because otherwise people couldn’t express who they really are. Me: Where do you get your ideas? Jackie: I get a lot of my ideas from Mary Kate and Ashley, blogs, magazines, and even street style! Just whatever I see on the street. Me: How do you know what will be in style next week? Jackie: There’s something called “predicted” in fashion, and it’s a book. It basically tells you what will be in style three weeks from now. Me: Do you draw your designs on the computer or do you draw them on paper? Jackie: I draw them on the computer (usually) because they make perfectly straight lines and all the work is done for you! Me: Did you teach yourself how to sketch the designs or did someone teach you?
P.2
Jackie: I took classes, and on the computer, there is something called “Illustrator” that makes perfect sketches. Me: Do you think more about the colors or how the fabric will look? Jackie: I think about both because the color has to look good with your accessories and so does the fabric. It matters because you don’t want your colors to clash. Me: Who or what inspires you to make all kinds of different designs? Jackie: As I said earlier, Mary Kate and Ashley are really inspiring to me, and I love fashion from the twenties! Me: Do you like to start new trends? If so, what are some of your ideas? Jackie: I love new trends because I love to try patterns and hats! Especially vintage! I usually use “predicted” to start new trends. Me: What’s your favorite part of designing something? Jackie: I just love to see people’s reactions! I’m always curious and keep an open mind. Also, I just love to see how the finished product looks! Me: Can you think of anything else you could tell me that my readers would like to know? Jackie: Always be unique and keep a smile on your face! Also, have a good attitude.
I think fashion is really cool, and I might want to be a designer one-day. I think that it is really cool how my cousin designs these types of clothes and how people actually buy her clothes. Jackie is a big role model to me because she followed her dreams, and they became true! -Molly Green
