"Have you ever wondered who's behind your favorite magazines? Running in Heels—premiering on the Style Network Sunday, March 1, at 8/7c—offers unparalleled access to the lives of Marie Claire's diverse group of editors, writers and interns, bringing viewers inside the excitement, drama and never-ending flurry of activity at the fashion monthly.
Running in Heels shows life at Marie Claire through different sets of eyes, from senior-level editors to interns just starting their careers. Go behind the scenes at celeb cover shoots and high-profile Fashion Week events—and follow the private lives of the staffers as they seek to balance demanding careers with social lives and family obligations. As the drama of life at a major fashion magazine unfolds, experience firsthand the pressures and responsibilities employees face as they negotiate tight deadlines, celebrate their successes—and cope with their failures."
"The premiere episode begins with introductions to many of Marie Claire’s key staffers and the arrival in New York of its three new interns. Viewers are there when Ashley, Samantha and Talita meet each other in their new Manhattan digs and arrive for the first demanding day of their internships. Style’s cameras capture editor-in-chief Joanna Coles in her home as she gets her family ready for the day and follow her to the office where her team (including the interns) is already in high-gear preparing for the fast-approaching New York Fashion Week. Things are very busy for the magazine’s staff who, in addition to planning coverage of this year’s runway shows are busy planning a star-studded welcoming party to celebrate the arrival of new fashion director Nina Garcia."
In addition to staffers’ lives in and out of the office, “Running in Heels” closely follows the lives of Marie Claire’s new interns who live and work together. Ashley is a self-proclaimed over-achiever from Washington D.C. who is determined to prove that she can out perform the other interns. Talita, a “fashionista” from Los Angeles, considers herself very street smart but drops the ball on her first assignment. And Samantha is the small-town girl from Wisconsin, who has never set foot in NYC and is new to the fashion world, but wants real-world experience working for a major media outlet.
Throughout the season, Joanna, Zanna and Zoe (and other staffers) continuously challenge the interns with new assignments and tasks. As Ashley, Samantha and Talita struggle to get along and vie for the editors’ attention, tensions build and emotions begin to boil over. Jealousy arises when Ashley feels the others are getting better assignments…and the living situation in the interns’ apartment also begins to show signs of strain.
In each episode, viewers catch all the inside action at the magazine, including Nina Garcia’s first meeting at the office and Christy Turlington’s briefing on her new role as Marie Claire’s guest columnist. They are there as Joanna and her editors head out to Milan’s Fashion Week and accompany Nina as she goes to Brazil Fashion Week. They are also brought “ring-side” to several major magazine photo shoots, including a beach-front international shoot in Puerto Vallarta."
