about Kitiana...

I realized my gift for fashion when I helped my Mom get dressed for a night out. She didn't know what to wear because she has TONS of clothes and shoes. As I watched her distressed for hours I told her, " don't worry, I got this." After about 20 minutes I whipped up a wonderful outfit , and she loved it.

By the way, my name is Kitiana, and I am a high school sophomore in Brookyln. As a Street and Celebrity Reporter, I plan to bring you the latest trends from the street, and what to look out for fall 2011 and spring 2012.

About Kiyoshi...

Hello, I'm kiyoshi I'm a sophomore in high school who loves to talk to people just to make conversation -- it could be about anything as long as it's reaching out to people and working together.

That is what this internship is all about for me and I'm loving it so far. One thing I look forward to is sharing music playlists and editing video from our trips and trend spotting. I never edited anything before in my life ,but did I mention that I love learning and observing and trying new things!

About Brianna...

Hey, what's up, I'm Brianna, a sophomore from Brooklyn. What drew me to this internship is that this would be a new experience for me and it is related to my main interest in life -writing.

I am excited to go out and explore different places, meet new people, and learn new things about New Yorkers in all industries. I'm a person who likes to try new things, and I don't give up on things I set my mind to. I love reading and writing fantasy; things that keep mt mind going and makes me wonder -- check in to read a preview of my fiction piece to be published in our January issue of Free Your Star magazine.

Freedom Journalist

This is me fashionable. I started in Middle School buying clothes on my own. I was always a rocker chic, leather jackets and vests. Some say I have sort of a spunk and outgoing. I love to catch peoples attention with my outfits, so they could have a sort of inspiration. My goals and dreams are to be a Fashion Stylist, a super model, and also a role model for anybody. If I could describe my style it would be Rock, Vintage and Retro 80's all in one. I'm the Beauty Director and Relationship Columnist for Free Your Star magazine.

About Sahar...

Free Your Star on-line magazine is a student-run publication under the guidance of Freedom Star Mentorship, programs include: Fashion Show Productions, Fashion Magazine and Build a Brand. My goal is to expose high school students to first-hand real world experience and teach them business fundamentals.

Last year Freedom through Fashion executed a fashion show with 6 designers and bands. This semester we are publishing an on-line and printed magazine that focuses on NY fashion, culture and more, all from the perspective of high school students.

In February 2011 we published our first volume of Free Your Star and it was a huge success. See it on-line on Freedom Star's Facebook Fan Page or at www.FreedomStarMentorship.com
