For our latest Campus Celebrity article, we decided to get in touch with the author of many of the fashion and lifestyle articles offered on Her Campus: Farnoush Amiri. I don’t know if it’s the fact that she probably is the next Anna Wintour or Leah Chermikoff (ELLE), or the fact that she is pretty much the queen of Instagram, but I was pretty excited to be the one to interview her this morning. You probably know her for her insightful writing, but I wanted to know more about her other job, as a Brand Ambassador for ASOS. But I first decided to dig a little into her past:
“Her Campus: How did you end up in SF?
Farnoush: I transferred from Orange County as a Junior, and I am majoring in Journalism.
HC: Have you written anywhere besides HerCampus?
Farnoush: Yes, I actually had my own fashion column in my previous college’s newspaper, and I also covered cool events such as L.A Fashion Week. I conducted interviews… Tt was pretty fun meeting all these great people. I couldn’t see myself doing anything else.
HC: I take it your dream job would be…
Farnoush: Writer for VOGUE, ELLE, Glamour…
HC: What do you do besides work?
Farnoush: I love to write for leisure. I write poetry, or just my thoughts. I also like to read, and the number one thing I like to do is travelling! Movies and concerts follow. But writing and travelling, definitely.
HC: About this really cool job that you have…Can you tell us more about it?
Farnoush: Sure! I am a Brand Ambassador for ASOS at SFSU, which is one of the UK’s largest online-only fashion and beauty stores. What I do is promote the brand through social media and on-campus events: I do givaways with gifts and vouchers from ASOS, and I post everything I do online to create awareness.
HC: That sounds like a great job! How did you get involved?
Farnoush: I have known about it for a while, and I really enjoyed buying from them. I told my friends who told their friends; I was basically advertising for free. I don’t believe in talking and sharing stuff about a brand I don’t respect and truly love. I wear their clothes all the time; it’s very natural. One day, I received an email and I was asked to be their Brand Ambassador. I went through the interview process and got the job!
HC: Lucky girl! And since we’re at it, what are your favorite Spring/Summer items that we can find on ASOS?
Farnoush: Definitely rompers and jumpsuits; they’re so easy to wear! You can just throw them on, accessorize and you’re done. Hats are my favorite accessories at the moment.
HC: Thank you for taking the time to talk to Her Campus! Do you have any advice for young girls wanting to enter the Fashion Industry?
Farnoush: Be patient. It will come to you; don’t rush. If you really love what you do, it comes to you at the right time. I used to collect all the major fashion issues in my room since I was 9, and I didn’t even know that I wanted to be a Fashion writer. I was just always very good at writing, and I actually took my first journalism class by accident: the best thing that ever happened to me.”
