Today is the day!
I’ve been working at the magazine for twelve years and today marks the
biggest day of my career to date: the launch of my very own online
magazine. Well, not mine per se – technically, it’s part of Nouveau’s new
online platform – but it is very much my baby. I conceived it, designed it,
staffed it, and edited it within an inch of its soon-to-be-out-in-the-world-forall-to-see life.
Of course, it wasn’t all me. Despite Nouveau Life being my vision, it
wouldn’t have come to fruition without the hard work of my carefully
chosen team, or without the support of my boss and mentor, Anjali.
She’s only in her mid-forties, but Anjali’s professional accomplishments
are the stuff of (my) dreams. She became editor-in-chief of Nouveau India
when she was twenty-five; by twenty-eight, she’d moved to Nouveau
Britain, our flagship edition; and within two years, she was appointed head
of editorial.
That’s when she hired me as a (lowly) staff writer straight from
university. I was eager but green and she took me under her wing, teaching
me practically everything I know about the magazine business – mostly
how to be cutting edge and a leader in the industry, rather than just staying
ahead of the curve. Her guidance – and her belief in me – is how I have
achieved this incredible milestone at the relatively young age of thirty-five.
My phone chimes with an incoming message – it’s Mum.
Viel Glück, mein Liebling. Wir lieben dich!
Mum is German and even though she’s lived in the UK for forty years –
and I was born here – she always messages me in German. I understand
German, but beyond the basics, I’m rubbish at replying. I’m positive it’s an
enormous disappointment to her I’m not properly bilingual.
Still, her well wishes are always welcome, as is her telling me she loves
me.
Danke! *smiley face*
After replying, I tuck my phone into my handbag and turn to face the
full-length mirror on the back of my bedroom door. When you work at a
fashion magazine and don’t look like Kaia Gerber (or her mum, for that
matter), there are countless approaches to developing your signature work
look.
While some of my colleagues are always on trend, my look is classic
and chic, which works perfectly with my petite and curvy frame. As Coco
Chanel said, ‘Dress shabbily and they remember the dress; dress
impeccably and they remember the woman.’ And I want to be remembered
– especially for being clever and brilliant at my job.
Today, I’ve chosen an empire-line shift dress in dove grey with a
matching tailored jacket and my three-inch Lorenzo heels in silver (which
are far more comfortable than they look).
My strawberry-blonde hair is
pulled into a loose up-do that looks effortless but took me ages, and my
make-up is natural-looking save for my glossy peach lips.
If I do say so myself, I look fantastic.
‘Time to take the magazine world by storm,’ I tell myself with a lifted
chin.
