Zoe Satterthwaite

When reminiscing on her four years at Albright College, Zoe Satterhwaite quotes fashion journalist Andre Leon Tally: “it is not the fashion, it is the people in fashion I love.” During her time on campus, Satterthwaite has embodied this quote. Beyond her time as a fashion merchandising and business administration major, Satterthwaite has served two years as the president of Club Vogue and has assisted in numerous fashion department showcases.

Ever since she was a little girl, Satterthwaite had the inkling that she would somehow find herself involved in fashion. From playing dress-up games on her family computer to working behind the scenes at New York Fashion Week, it seems that her dream has finally come to fruition. “What originally drew me to Albright was its proximity to my home,” says Satterthwaite, “but I’m so glad I chose this school for the countless opportunities I’ve been given in the past four years.”

From every opportunity afforded to her, Satterthwaite has had the chance to see not only herself grow, but also help the people around her blossom. “Through directing Club Vogue shows and assisting with the fashion department showcases, I got a close look at every aspect of what goes into producing a fashion show, from models to designers to backstage to front of house,” she says. “ Getting to see firsthand how hard my peers work is very inspiring, and the end result is always spectacular. It’s given me a new appreciation and understanding of the world of fashion.”

With the help of Club Vogue and the fashion department, Satterthwaite forged a tightknit community whose success will stay with her wherever she goes. She is open to any opportunity that comes her way, but she is also hoping to move to Philadelphia by the end of this year. She explains, “as long as I’m working in fashion, I’ll be happy.”
