“Fashions fade, style is eternal” – Yves Saint Laurent

Hi everyone! I’m Lindsay Lewis, the new style editor. I am really excited to be a part of the Grand Central team.

I am a junior here at Central Michigan University and majoring in Journalism with a concentration in News Editorial. My minor is Apparel Merchandizing and Design; hence my interest in style.

My hometown is Harrison Township, Mich. For those of you who do not know where Harrison Township is, it is about 30 minutes north of Detroit and about 2 hours and 30 minutes south of Mount Pleasant.

I graduated from L’Anse Creuse High School in 2007 and I am not athletic whatsoever so no, I did not play any sports. Coordination and I do not get along.

I also come from a huge family, which is one of the things I absolutely love about my background. I am the second to youngest in my family with three sisters and two brothers.

Fashion has been a huge part of my life for as long as I can remember. At a young age I started sketching designs in my notebooks and cutting up my clothes to make new and exciting fashions.

Unfortunately, I realized not soon after, that I cannot draw nor design nearly well enough to pursue a career in fashion designing. This inevitably lead to my decision to focus more on the behind the scenes aspect of fashion.

My hopes for the future are to write for a fashion magazine in New York or Los Angeles. I strive to be just like Miranda Priestly in The Devil Wears Prada. Yes, when I dream…  I dream big.

If all goes well I will be graduating in the spring of 2011. I plan on doing an internship for a fashion magazine before I get settled into a real job at one of them.

Doing my internship outside of Michigan is what I really want to do; but I know it is extremely unrealistic right now. Hour, Ambassador and Strut are all magazines based around Detroit that I am looking into applying for.

I really look forward to working with everyone and being a part of helping the style section blossom into what I know it can become.
