Magazine Founder Joins Chic Galleria.com

Chic Galleria.com is so pleased to introduce to you one of our new Contributing Editors, Sarah-Jane Adams. Sarah-Jane is currently a fashion editor and the creative founder of teen orientated Cause a Scene magazine, a site fusing high fashion with youth culture which has attracted a global readership of thousands and seen collaborations with industry leading talents. She also offers web design services for young creative professionals and acts as editor in chief and columnist for a variety of publications.  "I started with a degree in fashion pr, specialising in journalism, and became more and more interested in the ideas of self branding and promotion, and so decided to start a business and put them into practice.  Now of course, I'm completely obsessed with entrepreneurialism, and couldn't imagine doing anything else!"

"I'm in a great position now where I'm approached by some fantastic talents who may pitch an idea for a shoot or submit themselves for feature, so I'm very lucky in that I have that wealth of creative professionals to tap into for inspiration and to be kept in the loop about new projects and trends.  Of course, from a fashion point of view I'm constantly analysing the catwalks and the streets, but personally I take a lot of inspiration from urban culture, particularly in my web design."

I asked Sarah-Jane what she loves about her profession. "I think that right now I'm enjoying my work more than ever as I'm reaping the rewards of all the hard work that goes into building your own brand, so to be in a position of having your work recognised and to be actively approached with new opportunities is really fulfilling.  Receiving new offers and having people who I consider at the top of their game come to me to say they'd like to get involved with my projects is always my favourite experience."

"Right now I'm focusing on getting my name into the public domain and adding as many strings to my bow as possible.  The immediate future sees a big push on web design for me, and also sharing my skills in branding and PR with up and coming talents.  I'm excited about the sheer amount of new projects I have coming up for early 2009, with a move into national press and some additional high profile collaborations.  I've learned not to plan too far ahead, as it's become difficult to envisage where the work will take me as new directions and connections open up."
