Intern Inspiration?
In an interview with Exposed Zippers, Fino talks:
After seven years at Vogue (eleven at Conde Nast) what made you decide to leave?
"Truly, my interns. For the last seven years, I have been surrounded by hundreds of young talented (OK, some not so talented) students that came to Vogue to get their feet wet in the fashion industry. I was always fascinated by their energy, for it felt fresh and directive of the times. Then one day, I realized that these young kids, dressed in their best designer knock-offs, didn't read magazines, nor newspapers. They were informed of every piece of fashion news, every trend, and every gossip item without picking up a copy of WWD or, the most criminal sin, not picking up the latest issue of Vogue. I was so intrigued (and honestly upstaged by their knowledge) that I had a few interns introduce me to their world: The Cut, Fashionista, T’s Blog, Garance Dore, The Satorialist, The Huffington Post. The list was endless; and I slowly converted to the world of the Internet. I became hooked."
