Staff Profile
Carlyle Klein –– Staff Writer
At the tender age of four-years-old, Carlyle Klein ‘13 had already stepped into the office of Anna Wintour, toured the buildings of all of the major Condé Nast magazines, and started her cherished pastime of flipping through the Vogue stacks that lay on her kitchen table.
It is safe to say that Klein has a passion for fashion journalism, and she plans to bring this love to Inklings by writing articles that focus on Staples trends and fashion inspirations.
“When I toured Vogue’s office, It was such a rush seeing how fast and passionate everyone is . They were all 100 percent into what they were doing, which is the same exact vibe I get from Inklings,” Klein said.
Klein’s journalistic experiences extend far beyond those of most high school students. Grabbing the train to New York City right after school and not returning until midnight, Klein spent each Friday of her junior year as a freelance writer reporting on Broadway shows for High 5, an organization aimed to introduce students to the arts.
“A former editor of the Village Voice read one of my articles and pretty much told me it was boring,” Klein said. “It taught me to switch it up and use different words, so at least it was a learning experience. I’m a better journalist because of it.”
