Are you one of those people who love two things fashion and writing? Do you dream of becoming a fashion magazine editor but some how you think you will never get the opportunities to do this? Do you think what hope do I have to be employed by top magazines such as Elle or Vogue? You think if only they gave me the chance I know they will appreciate my talent.

It may seem impossible for you to enter a career as a fashion magazine editor, but the Internet is making this quite possible. The question is though how to do you go about getting your own fashion magazine going on the Internet?

Of course getting your fashion magazine going will not be easy. I am not saying that it is and would be foolish to give you the idea that all you have to do is sit at a computer and keep typing till you decide you want to go to bed. However with hard work, persistence and some tricks of Internet marketing you can pull yourself together with the talent you already have and make quite an achievement.

Fashion Runway Show

The models that wear the clothing on the runway each week also compete during the show. They sit through hours of hair and make-up after spending time being dressed by the designers. In some challenges, like the swimsuit one, the models have to be good sports because the tiny pieces of clothing are very revealing and uncomfortable. Each week a designer selects a model for the next challenge and the last model is eliminated.

The first season set the bar high when it aired on Bravo, transmitted by satellite TV into homes across America. Host and judge Heidi Klum was joined by Michael Kors and Nina Garcia, along with a guest judge that changed each week. The participants were all colorful characters with creative and unique styles. More and more viewers tuned in each week as word spread about 'Project Runway.' It was even nominated for an Emmy for outstanding competitive reality series.

The twelve designers compete each week in a unique challenge. Some are relatively straightforward, such as the 'Innovation' or 'Swimsuit' episodes. However, each has limitations about what materials can be used and a unique twist. In the Banana Republic challenge, the designers must make outfits that fit with the brand. The winner is Wendy, one of the designers who just did not get along well with the rest, particularly in the last weeks of the competition.

Fashion American Style

If we were to take an unscripted took throughout history - looking at pictures that were not identified by year or event - we could still more than likely place the period of time by the fashion worn in the pictures. Fashion is a visual timeline, distinguishing one generation from the next and, yet, having the uncanny ability of finding its way back around again from time to time.

Nothing influences American society more than fashion. It's a trend seen over and over again as designs find their way from the designers to the masses. As a culture, we are pre-disposed to be "in style;" and those who set the benchmark of style have changed throughout the generations. But no time period saw greater changes in fashion than the twentieth century.

The fashion of the early 1900s was influenced by the advent of the automobile - as women's dresses began to include the dustcoat which protected clothing from the dirt coming off the road. Then as quickly as the 1920s, women's fashion shifted completely as the Jazz Age produced the "flapper" style - complete with short, simple fringed dresses and long pearls.

Not even a decade later, the Depression greatly changed the style of fashion - no longer was material a luxury item; women wore what they could find and afford. The 1930s began a trend towards following movie star fashion. And in the war-torn 1940s, a uniform-like sophistication including padded shoulders, short skirts, and a close tailored look became popular.
