NYC fashion editor Caroline Vazzana began her career before the word “influencer” was in our social media lexicon.

Vazzana worked at traditional fashion publications such as Teen Vogue  & In Style just as Instagram was taking off.

Soon after, she decided to leave corporate life, be her own boss and build her own clothing capsule brand. On Wednesday, Vazzana joined NY1 to share her tips on how to succeed in Manhattan’s competitive fashion world in her book “Making It In Manhattan: the Beginner’s Guide to Surviving and Thriving in the World of Fashion.”
