<p>I am stuck on this one. I would seriously like to say Olivia Palermo, but I don't think the admissions officers would appreciate that. All of the famous New Yorkers I can think of all work in the fashion industry...</p>
<p>What have other people put? I need some inspiration! :)</p>
<p>BTW, I am not going to “steal” anybody’s idea. That would be stupid and obviously bad for my application… I just want to know if people are using fictional characters or real life people… And how much of a “risk” people are taking :p</p>
<p>I’m doing a person related to fashion since I want to work in the fashion industry. I’m doing Grace Coddington, the creative director of Vogue magazine. She’s an absolute inspiration to me.</p>
<p>I’m doing Liz Lemon from 30 Rock! We would have an absolutely splendid day. =P</p>
<p>Oh my god! So I’m not alone with the fashion industry thing! Now I feel a lot better :p</p>
<p>The “ghetto” Spongebob who works on Broadway (the street, not the theatre).</p>
<p>: ) nope. I did my college essay with a fashion angle as well. As long as it’s not all based on THe hills and the city and that sort of thing like Lauren conrad, then I think it’s okay.</p>
<p>I did The Notorious B.I.G…</p>
<p>Should you write about someone that has to do with your field of interest, or should you just write about someone that interests you?</p>
<p>^I’d say the latter, but it’d be better if you could get a guy that represents both!</p>
<p>I still have no idea who to do 
Probably someone that’s non-fiction though …</p>
<p>Holden Caulfield.</p>
<p>Annie Hall!</p>
<p>yeah. all my NYCers would be fashion people. specifically Anna Wintour or Grace Coddington…i even considered Gisele…</p>
<p>I was going to do either Gatsby, Anderson Cooper or Martin Scorsese</p>
<p>I did Grace</p>
<p>If i had to write this essay, I’d write about mayor of New York, Michael Bloomberg. Engineer, businessman, entrepreneur, politician, richest man in nyc.</p>
<p>Haha, Ive actually met Olivia Palermo and had a nice chat with her outside of Barney’s once. Very nice girl!</p>
<p>John McEnroe</p>
<p>i did bloomberg!</p>
