Meet the Editorial Society!Mar. 10, 2016

Have you ever wondered what goes on after your post is submitted for review? What magic happens with a Style

Guide, Grammar Guide and Internship Packet at the ready each week? The Editorial Society is what! These

Fashionistas/os are a talented group of editorial wizards and sentence structure enthusiasts.

What are a CollegeFashionista editor’s biggest pet peeves? Serial commas, run-on sentences, using the wrong

version of there, their or they’re—and I’m sure other non-grammar related things. So let’s learn more about these

grammar nuts and see what else makes them a #RAD addition to the CollegeFashionista gang.

Editor: Alexia Morton

School: University of Massachusetts Lowell

Song you have on repeat: “Photograph” by Ed Sheeran is constantly on repeat!

Dream job: Working full time for CollegeFashionista.com (seriously, what other job could I want?).

Last movie you watched: The Devil Wears Prada. I just can’t get enough of Meryl Streep (or those Chanel boots).

Editor: Alissa Virgil

School: University of Arkansas

Favorite magazine/publication: Vogue, Seventeen and Cosmopolitan.

Dream job: In a perfect world I would own my own online clothing store. I would start with designing my own

graphic T-shirts. I would take care of all the photo shoots and promotions for my brand, as well. If that got big,

then my dreams would go above and beyond making me the next NASTY GAL.

Song you have on repeat: “U Don’t Know” by Alison Wonderland.

Editor: Ally Zacek

School: DePaul University

Page 4 of 31http://www.collegefashionista.com/meet-the-editorial-society/

Favorite magazine/publication: I really dig a lot of the publications from the U.K. and Australia, like RUSSH and

Hunger. Of course I love Vogue, but I like to draw inspiration from more art focused magazines that aren’t fully

dedicated to just fashion.

Favorite Grammar Rule: I love a good semicolon. When used correctly, I think that they can help vary sentence

structure and make writing more interesting.

Last movie you watched: I watched The Overnight, per a friend’s suggestion. It has one star on Netflix, stars Adam

Scott and is not for the faint of heart.

Editor: Ami Cornell

School: Mercyhurst University

Dream Job: Stylist to the stars, while writing for Vogue or Condé Nast Travel on the side.

Favorite grammar rule: Seasons should NEVER be capitalized. The lines are blurred on this; I was always

confused growing up as to whether or not seasons should be capitalized, so it’s nice to have a definitive answer

from CollegeFashionista!

Last movie you watched: The Intern. Anne Hathaway in another fashion boss role and Robert De Niro as her aged

intern, what’s not to love?

Editor: Audie Lauf

School: Illinois State University

Song you have on repeat: “Sober” by Selena Gomez and “Canon in D Major” by Pachelbel.

Dream Job: I have a few dream jobs. One would be accepting a teaching position at Hogwarts. Another dream job

would be a professional cookie taster. In fashion I would love to work my way up to becoming a Creative Director

for a publication.

Favorite magazine/publication: GQ, Men’s Health, Esquire, Cosmopolitan, WWD, Vogue and Glamour. I am a huge

advocate for print media.

Editor: Azania Touré

School: Smith College

Dream Job: Fashion Curator at the V&A Museum.

Favorite grammar rule: A comma precedes any coordinating conjunction (for, and, nor, but, or, yet) that joins two

independent clauses.

Last movie you watched: My Big Fat Greek Wedding. It was my first time seeing it, and now I’m obsessed.

Editor: Bailey Wojcik

School: University of South Florida

Song you have on repeat: “Give Me a Try” by The Wombats. I’m completely obsessed.

Dream Job: My dream job would be a retail buyer for a cool boutique or a writer/editor for a fashion magazine.

I’ve always wanted to do something in the fashion industry ever since I was little.

Favorite magazine/publication: Definitely Seventeen Magazine. It’s been my favorite since my middle school

days!

Editor: Baylor Cherry

School: University of Florida

Song you have on repeat: “Let It Go” by James Bay and “Fast Car” by Tobtok ft. River are my go-to songs right

now.

Dream job: Working for a fashion company as a copywriter, stylist and social media rep! I would die to have any

job that is fashion related that can still include my passion for writing.

Favorite grammar rule: Serial commas! When I edit my friends’ work, they question me when I delete it and then

they get to learn something new!

Editor: Cherileigh Co

School: Ryerson University

Dream job: Editor-in-chief for NYLON magazine.

Favorite magazine/publication: Toronto Life.

Last movie you watched: The Witch. I love horror films!

Editor: Eliza Lavine

School: George Washington University

Song you have on repeat: “waves – Remix” by Miguel and Travi$ Scott.

Favorite grammar rule: I’m all about people who use “and I” vs. “and me” correctly. “And I” isn’t always correct,

people!

Last movie you watched: I just re-watched Usual Suspects for the millionth time. It’s one of my all-time faves.

Editor: Eva Thomas

School: University of Minnesota

Favorite magazine/publication: I love The New York Times, its style section and The New York Times Magazine. I

love the writing style in this publication, and the fashion is fabulous! Oh, and I’m also such a huge fan of Bill

Cunningham. Who wouldn’t love riding around on a bike taking photos of fashionable New Yorkers? I may have to

change my dream job…

Song you have on repeat: “Hymn for the Weekend” by Coldplay, featuring the queen.

Favorite grammar rule: I am comma obsessed. I may be guilty of overusing them at times, but a missing comma or

a misplaced one can totally change the meaning and flow of a sentence.

Page 12 of 31http://www.collegefashionista.com/meet-the-editorial-society/

Editor: Gabriella Wiltz

School: Ohio State University

Favorite magazine/publication: Self magazine and Shape magazine with an unhealthy dosage of HBFit on the side.

Last movie you watched: Straight Outta Compton. I am literally convinced that I was supposed to come of age in

the ’80s.

Favorite grammar rule: Divorcing the serial comma has been an oddly liberating experience for me. I feel like I’m

a part of a secret society of writers and editors now because before joining the editorial team I never paid

attention to it.

Editor: Katy Anderson

School: University of Mississippi

Song you have on repeat: “Shirtsleeves” by Ed Sheeran (Ed is always on repeat).

Editor: Kristin Vartan

School: Pepperdine University

Song you have on repeat: “Wouldn’t it Be Lovely” from the My Fair Lady Soundtrack. I am a fan of musicals and

ones that have Audrey Hepburn in them!

Favorite magazine/publication: Vogue all the way in both America and the UK. I just attended the 100 Year

Anniversary exhibit for British Vogue, which exemplified how their artistic and revolutionary vision has not been

lost in translation in the last century they’ve been in circulation! Long live Vogue!

3/10/16, 8:36 PMMeet the Editorial Society! | CollegeFashionista

Page 18 of 31http://www.collegefashionista.com/meet-the-editorial-society/

Movie you last watched: Kate and Leopold! Who doesn’t love a ’90s classic film with Meg Ryan, Hugh Jackman

and time travel? I still cannot get over what a gentleman Leopold is and the way he looks at Kate like she is the

most marvelous person in the entire world. Swoon!

Editor: Lauren Zazzara

School: St. Bonaventure University

Dream job: I would love to own my own vintage shop. I absolutely love shopping vintage, and I think it would be

so cool to be able to sell my own finds and basically be able to thrift for a living!

3/10/16, 8:36 PMMeet the Editorial Society! | CollegeFashionista

Page 19 of 31http://www.collegefashionista.com/meet-the-editorial-society/

Favorite grammar rule: Using hyphens for compound modifiers. These trip me up all the time, but for some

reason seeing a hyphenated compound modifier is really satisfying, and I always notice when they are done

correctly!

Song you have on repeat: “Seen it All” by Jake Bugg. He really should get more attention; he’s so talented!

Editor: Marissa DePino

School: Drake University

Favorite magazine/publication: Cosmopolitan, Vogue, Seventeen and Marie Claire.

Editor: Melyssa Granat

School: George Washington University

Dream job: In a perfect world, my dream career would somehow combine Rachel Zoe, WeWoreWhat’s Danielle

Bernstein and being an Editor-in-chief at a magazine into one fabulous job!

Favorite magazine/publication: It depends; most days it’s Cosmopolitan or Glamour, but if I’m feeling gossipy, I

must read People for all the juicy celeb news and trending hot topics!

Song you have on repeat: “Work from Home” by Fifth Harmony and Ty Dolla $ign.

3/10/16, 8:36 PMMeet the Editorial Society! | CollegeFashionista

Page 21 of 31http://www.collegefashionista.com/meet-the-editorial-society/

Editor: Rachel Rosenstock

School: Indiana University

Dream job: Running my own fashion blog (think ManRepeller or Into the Gloss) and turning it into a brand!

Favorite grammar rule: Fashionista and Fashionisto should always be capitalized! It is an official title, after all!

Editor: Ronald Amiscaray

School: Loyola University Chicago

Song you have on repeat: Beyoncé’s “Formation” and Adele’s “All I Ask.”

Favorite grammar rule: The use of colons and semicolons! They’re a tricky punctuation mark, but very liberating

when you know how to use them correctly.

Last movie you watched: I watched this queer film on Netflix called Edge of Seventeen. It was a coming out,

coming-of-age film.

Dream job: A visual merchandiser for any retail brand. I’d also love to own a bathing suit boutique somewhere in

either Florida or California to escape the northern winters.

handsome men in it). I read a lot of Rolling Stone, and I’m obsessed with NYLON‘s editorials.

School: West Chester University

Song you have on repeat: “Cake By the Ocean” by DNCE.

Favorite grammar rule: The lazy side of me loves to use and abuse em-dashes, but when you know how to use
