My 5 Question Interview With US Weekly Fashion Director Sasha Charnin Morrison

Sasha Charnin Morrison, words cant describe how amazing this woman is. She has worked for some of the most influential magazines such as, Seventeen Magazine, Elle, Harpers Bazaar and more. Having the chance to talk with her (well email) was a beautiful experience. She is nothing but pure honesty and tells it like it is. Just to think a simple tweet I sent her came this far.

One thing that I admire about you is your honesty and how open you are about your experience in this industry. My first question is when was that moment when you knew this career was for you?

Thank you. I knew when I went to meet the woman who would become my stepmother who worked at Vogue. She changed my life at 13. I walked into the fashion closet to officially meet her and that was it. I knew. Whatever this was, I wanted in. I did and completed Everything everyone wanted me to do-high school, college. But being a fashion editor at a magazine was going to be it.

As we talked about before, I want to be an Editorial Stylist. You have worked for some of the biggest magazines out there; Harper's Bazaar being one of them. Out of the five years working there, what was your fondest memory?

Working with the inspiring and wonderful Liz Tilberis. She had such a zest for life and for her family and for the work. She was able to do it all. She made us all better. Made us proud of what we did. She directed us. Trusted us and above all she had humor about it all this. To have had that opportunity was the greatest reward. And being able to work with the influential and talented group she had assembled was also an honor and privilege.

Working for Us Weekly you get to see alot of celebrity looks and hear all the gossip. Who are some celeberties you cant wait to see on the carpet and why? 

I like all the new ladies: Nicola Peltz,

Adèle Exarchopoulos, Lea Seydoux, Lizzy Caplan, Lupita Nyong'o, Iggy Azalea, Kendall Jenner,  kacey musgraves, Arianna Grande. I also love Mindy Kaling for how she dresses up and loves it. I like all the odd balls who have a deeper beauty. Haunting.

I absolutely loved your book! It was so helpful and informative. When can your fans expect another book ?

Thank you. Hopefully soon-ish. It may be in another form. To always have with you. Key is something that will be less bitchy about fashion and more useful. Educational. Absorbing.

One thing you told me that sticks with me is "Mostly sensitive people who say things that sound like fabulocity, but it's all nonsense and complete bull shit. If you talk a good game - someone will listen". What is another piece of advice that will encourage people to never give up in this industry called fashion?

Wow. I did say that. Oooops. Hee hee! But listen: If you give up or are willing to walk away-then you never wanted it in the first place. And that's ok. You will then know. Just stand out of the way because someone is right behind you with the hunger for it. It's a hunger, a desire, a thirst. The business is always changing and always challenging which makes it amazing. Its not about being a star, or a competition for how many numbers or followers you have. You have to be open to build. You have to learn. You have to listen. And you have to take a lot of shit. But in the long run-it'll pay off because you'll be able to look at the body of work that you created yourself...for yourself and be proud. As it's hard to define what it is you do to someone who doesn't understand it. You look at a picture you styled or a story you called in and there are 101 stories on how that all came together. You revel in it. And then you admire it and most importantly you move on-onto the next.
