Shenae Grimes is the latest in a long string of stars who decide to get an internship in the fashion industry. Kanye West had one at Fendi, Tallulah Willis interned at Harper's Bazaar and 'Ugly Betty' star Mark Indelicato bagged a placement at Carolina Herrera.
The 90210 star has bagged an internship at Teen Vogue - a placement that she bagged through her publicist. "I was sick of L.A., so I wanted to come to New York. I found [editor-in-chief] Amy Astley’s contact through my publicist, and I e-mailed her," she told The Cut. "I'm a little audacious. As expected, her internship doesn't involve the usual coffee runs and endless hours of returns. "I’m shadowing everybody," she explained. What are her actual duties? "No fetching coffee or photocopying, which is what I thought would happen," she said. "My editor is Andrew Bevan, who’s a dear friend of mine, and I attend a lot of pulls with [fashion market editor] Mary Kate Steinmiller. We pull clothes for shoots and stuff like that," she explained. "Oh, and I’m blogging for the website as well."
