curated notions.: UIUC'S COLLEGE FASHION WEEK OFFICIAL LINEUP

As Secretary of the University of Illinois' Official College Fashion Week I tend wear out my keyboard often. Whether it be sending emails to committee members, potential clients or other Executive Board leaders, I am always writing.

Fortunately, along with typing my life away, I get V.I.P admission the most exciting collegiate week of the school year. This year, I will be going behind the scenes to show YOU the most exhilarating, fierce, fashionable events of the week and report the inside scoop of the down-and-dirty, nitty-gritty glamour that is The Fashion World.

Each day, I will update about the event, spotted trends, interviews and what is to come in the following remaining days of the week. I look forward to chronicling the week and be your official CFW insider!

I will also be featured in Wednesday's Fashion Networking Conference and walking in Saturdays Main Fashion Showcase in Polly Bland's show.
