Hello,
My name is Natasha Colyer and I am the editor of online fashion and lifestyle magazine Seen in the City.
I wanted to write this blog to give a little insight into the weird, wacky and wonderful world of running an online magazine- from writing inspiration and ideas, to a real insight of behind the scenes of a fashion shoot, I really want to share my stories and experiences.
Here I am at a recent press event |
How it all began
I came up with the
idea of Seen in the City a year ago now, with the passion to have my own online
magazine having been building up for a good few years.
I have always had a
strong passion for writing and the way it can manipulate and influence
thoughts, feelings and emotions in a way that nothing else can.
I did work experience
for the Sussex Express when I was seventeen, before being offered an internship
for My Chic City- an online fashion and lifestyle magazine in London. This
internship really threw me into the deep end, juggling what felt like a
'proper' job with college work, and the transition from being a student four
days a week to a magazine journalist the other day, was an experience I can't
quite describe.
I got to interview
some incredible people whilst working here, from Peggy Porschen to Kelly Hoppen,
and learnt the true workings of an online fashion magazine, from the glitz and
the glamour to the tedious, the stressful and the downright embarrassing
moments. I had the chance to attend top events and launches, and to let my
creativity run wild in a way I had previously not had such an outlet.
