when teen vogue approached our designer alyssa wasko about doing an interview and photoshoot, she couldn’t believe that they wanted to feature her! while being in a magazine like teen vogue may be every other girls dream, our shy designer tends to avoid the spotlight. alyssa certainly loosened up as they pulled up to a whimsical cottage tucked away in hollywood hills. that’s right girls; it turns out that hollywood photoshoots really are a dream come true…

as alyssa walked in, she was greeted by all of her favorite clothes and shoes just her size! for the first time all morning, she felt more excitement than anxiety. the teen vogue stylists were so great and easy to work with.  alyssa recalls, hair and makeup was a blast. going for a more natural look, teen vogue barely used much makeup, except for red lipstick which took our girl a bit to get used to. the kitchen had a full spread of food that was there to help calm her nerves. as it came time to begin shooting, the photographer helped ease alyssa into the spotlight. despite her timidness and the fact that 12 people were watching her every move, the camera loved her. alyssa warmed up towards the end and really began to have fun with it. as the afternoon went on and alyssa was shot in 3 different outfits, the photographer decided he had captured the perfect picture and told our modest designer that she was a natural.

as the day wrapped to a close, alyssa was all too glad to be out of the spotlight and ready to get back to her normal life, or as normal as life is for a 22 year old fashion designer… for more behind the scenes and updates on the world of donni charm, keep up with our blog next week.
