Wintour's Words of Wisdom, Karl Contradicts

Teen Vogue is coming out with a book about breaking into the fashion industry, and in it includes these words from Anna: "Do your homework, go online, visit every museum, and intern. You just need to have a love for what you're doing. It's not about thinking that it's the cool thing; it's about really believing in it." She adds: "Don't go too fast. Because of reality television, everyone imagines they can just be a fashion designer, photographer, or model. That's not the way things go. Learn your craft."
Karl Lagerfeld dosen't seem to be as encouraging;
"Ask yourself, Are you sure this world is for you? And are you sure you are the right person to survive in this world - the world of fashion, a world with no rules, no laws?"
Then again, Karl's words might be more food for thought than Anna's.
The Teen Vogue Handbook: An Insider's Guide to Careers in Fashion should be released on October 5th.
