Hi. I'm Crosby, the founder of PR Couture and a creative marketing strategist who works with fashion brands that get it (or want to get it!). I care about helping companies connect to their audiences in meaningful ways, as well as mentoring fashion publicists along their career path. Recently, I was included in iMedia's annual list of 25 Internet Marketing Leaders and Innovators, along with people from Starbucks, Twitter and Volkswagon, which I think is pretty neat. Like Elle Woods, I am a Gemini-vegetarian (that's about where the similarities end). Let's connect: Check out my full bio or get in touch.

Thanks so much for posting your interview with these people! This is so insightful to me because I always felt that a career in the PR field (especially with fashion) seemed far-fetched. Being in my senior year as a PR major this has inspired me to reconsider my direction with PR and maybe focus on a fashion perspective! Thanks for posting and good luck!
Paige, I am so glad this series is an encouragement to you! That was our goal for these features, so that is great to hear:-) Thanks for the feedback!
Just like Paige said above, I have always felt that having the opportunity to work in such a field was way out of my league, especially living here in Kansas. I am currently a senior in the Journalism school at the University of Kansas and graduating a year early. From reading this interview with Shonte Shannon I gained a lot of inspiration. Hopefully I can get in contact with someone in this field and follow my dreams in the PR side of the infamous fashion industry.

But I was proven wrong with the article Getting IN: Life as a Fashion PR Intern at Chic Little Devil PR. [...]
