Fashion Journalism CSM and LCF 2015 apllicants

Guys! I need your advice. I've applied for Fashion Journalism at CSM, my interview is tomorrow haha and I was wondering if I should take in some of my work like articles I've written and stuff. Do you think that's a good idea?

Yeah I think that's a good idea. Take in much work as possibile and I think it's good to research some current fashion affairs in case they ask you an opinion about something so good luck ! Let us know what happens x

I wrote about my opinion on John Galliano x Margiela

for people who have already received lcf interview dates, is there an option to interview a different day? it's just i'm on holiday the beginning of the week and if i get an interview i will need it on the thursday/friday (this is assuming i even get one haha)

Hahaha I did the same

ok so do we wanna start saying what we wrote about in the 800 word article?? I will start by saying.....

drum rolls please.........

Ok so I wrote about how androgyny and masculine/feminine silhouettes influence the fashion industry through the ages so I started with a bit of history and then went on to talk about androgynous shapes and how women and men borrow styles from each other..

I really hope I was original and wrote something interesting and unique...what did you guys write about?

haha I wrote about the same thing!! Let's hope no-one else did....

omg what exactly did you write about? Did you refer to any particular designer or historical person?

Just in general how androgyny is basically back! I mentioned prada, jw anderson and sibling and then briefly mentioned hedi slimane for saint laurent and frida for gucci.
With regards to historical people pretty much the obvious... David Bowie, Coco Chanel and then mentioned Annie Hall as well.
What about you? Such a coincidence!

Yeah I think that's a good idea. Take in much work as possibile and I think it's good to research some current fashion affairs in case they ask you an opinion about something so good luck ! Let us know what happens x

Just thought I should update you, I got into LCF! Incase you wanted to know, I applied through my local representative and so I could only apply to one college and I CSM. When you apply through a representative they can give you an offer to any one of the other colleges they think suits you more and so I got LCF. They're very very selective about CSM and the interviewer was way harsher when discussing CSM and she did mention that CSM would be looking for a specific type of student and even though it's a fashion journalism course they don't want someone who is only about the fashion aspect of things. I'm glad I got LCF as it was my second choice anyway hehe. Good luck to you and everyone else! xx

Just thought I should update you, I got into LCF!

First of all congrats!! What kind of questions did they ask you at lcf? And what do you mean by CSM looks for a particular candidate who doesn't only blab about fashion? So what else does this candidate be able to show? Maybe they want students with a 'global' and 'cultural' awareness of things?
