Running (Away) in Heels

Style Network’s new magazine-centered show intends to create a “documentary look at fashion,” WSJ explains. ‘Running in Heels’ takes an inside peek at Nina Garcia and Joanna Coles’ three interns at Marie Claire. The three newbies, Samantha, Ashley, and Talita, are vehicles to portray the catty cliché of the magazine world.

“Running in Heels” seems to be yet another reality sting to create a buzz around a mediocre magazine. Marie Claire is more like your Aunt Betty’s toned-down version of Cosmo than it is a fashion magazine. While the show may attract viewers, and subsequently readers, it will also reinforce one stereotype of the industry that isn’t unanimously accurate.
