And what do you suggest to someone who has a journalism degree and wants to focus in fashion to do, before going right away to a fashion magazine? Because I'm going for Journalism major, but working in the fashion area is very appealing to me - I'd like to know the type of experiences that would give me the bases to then be able to pursue a job in a fashion magazine.
Thanks!

Well it depends what you want to do in a fashion magazine. There are people who work in art direction (how the magazine looks), features (they write, as well as commission other writers), then the 'fashion' section which is where they deal with the clothes and are stylists (editorials), market editors, etc.
Magazines aren't really fussed about who you're majoring in, but more about your skills and your experience.
These threads go into more detail and are a worthwhile read if you're interested in pursuing a career in fashion magazines:

jeweledvixen they're still hiring for Spring internships now - thought I've heard some people inquiring for summer around this time. I'd say do it after the new year - about end of Jan, as people may still be away.
