MODO Fashion Society: MODO Editor & Chief

Hi! I’m Aurora. I’m standing for Editor-in-Chief due to my love for fashion journalism. Which is why I’d like to be at the forefront of curating, editing and publishing the MODO magazine.

Through being editor-in-chief, I’d love to: connect with people who share my passion; foster a safe space for creativity and encourage collaboration. But how? I firmly believe experiences bring people together. Which is why I’d try to organise events/ workshops around the theme so all contributors have a chance to connect, inspire and create. 

I recently launched my own fashion blog, which means I’ve been neck-deep in writing, editing, design, photography ect. All these skills I aim to transfer over to the magazine. If you’d like to check out my work, here is the link: http://theauraarchive.com/

Thank you for your consideration!! 

With a profound passion for storytelling and a dedication to journalistic integrity, I am eager to lead our publication to new heights.

Throughout my tenure as a contributor and editor, I have fostered a collaborative environment, encouraging fellow writers and editors to share their unique perspectives and ideas.

As Editor-in-Chief, my vision is to elevate our publication by amplifying diverse voices and perspectives. I will champion inclusivity and strive to represent the full breadth of our community's experiences. Additionally, I am committed to upholding the highest standards of journalistic ethics, maintaining accuracy, fairness, and transparency in all our reporting.

Furthermore, I recognize the importance of adapting to the ever-evolving media landscape. I will lead our publication in embracing digital innovation and exploring new multimedia formats to engage with our audience effectively across various platforms.

Above all, I am deeply invested in the success and impact of our publication. With dedication, creativity, and a collaborative spirit, I am confident that together, we can continue to inform, inspire, and provoke thought within our community and beyond.

Thank you for considering me for the role of Editor-in-Chief. I am eager to contribute my skills and vision to furthering the excellence of our publication.

Hi! I’m Sarina and I'm a third year French and German student, and I’d love to be editor-in-chief next year! I’m qualified for this position as I have actually been the editor-in-chief of the magazine for the last month and produced the issue that came out 2 weeks ago (go check it out if you haven’t!!) and I was an editing executive the whole year before that working on both articles and graphics. I’ve only just started with this role and there’s still so much I want to do.

My goals:

• With 2 years experience, I understand printing specifications, finding brands to collaborate with for advertisements, organising shoots and I know what is required to uphold the magazine’s high standard using professional, industry-standard software (Adobe Suite, InDesign, Issuu)
• I just set up the Instagram (please follow @uclmodomagazine haha) and want to expand this as a platform for members of all talents (photographers, stylists, writers, designers, graphic designers etc…) to showcase work more regularly than twice a year in print editions
• give more publishing opportunities to the many members who want to go into the fashion industry and need to build creative portfolios

I also designed a collection for the Fashion Show at Steel Yard last year, styled my pieces for a magazine shoot and created social media content for the show and magazine launch last year so it’s safe to say MODO’s been a HUGE part of my last 3 years and I'm very familiar with how things work.
