Don’t try to tell me sexist in the industry doesn’t exist. Until you are the youngest female TRYING TO DO YOUR JOB alongside 40+y/o men who HARASS you backstage at fashion shows ... I DONT WANNA HEAR UR OPINION. I have had my credentialing questioned EVERY SINGLE SEASON of
Fashion week. I have covered 13 seasons INTERNATIONALLY total. I have almost been denied entry backstage based solely off of my appearance MANY TIMES. I have had to have my male boss scream at PR people on my behalf for not doing their job correctly. I can remember being in Paris
& Literally being laughed at while the male photographers mutter “who is this little girl”

HI HELLO THIS “LITTLE GIRL” IS EMILY DOING THE SAME JOB AS YOU BUT AT 20, NOT 40. GET OUT OF MY FACE, AND OUT OF MY WAY.
These same men whisper disgusting things in my ear in the media pit, where unfortunately, there’s like 50 media ppl crammed into a tiny space. Peep me sitting in between house video. This was pre show, so it wasn’t totally packed yet.
I have had designers, celebrities, everyoneeee question my credibility. I’ve been refused interviews just bc I’m young. Then they find out i work for an INTERNATIONAL FASHION TV NETWORK, and r like “oh sorry hahaha we thought u were just a kid”

🙃🙃🙃🙃🙃🙃
While it definitely gets better every season, and I’ve made some awesome friends who help keep my life easier backstage, it STILL happens every.single.season.

I’m tired y’all. Shit is exhausting. Take women seriously, please.
