Our guest today: Nina Garcia, who in addition to being the
editor-in-chief of ELLE Magazine, serves as a judge on “Project Runway.”

Her journey to fashion-icon status was an unlikely one: She was an
immigrant who came to America to get an education, fell in love with the
fashion world, and worked her way to the top after starting out at the
very bottom.

"I didn’t know anybody here. I didn’t really have any contacts. I had no
connections," Garcia tells Anna Palmer. "It was just a big, glamorous
industry, and I didn’t really see myself — there were no other Latinas
doing it."

Throughout her career, Garcia has shown an ability to adapt to new
situations — whether that’s taking a chance on a new TV show that would
later become a smash-hit, working in the publishing industry at a time
of massive upheaval, or staying on top of a fashion world that is built
upon the idea of constant change.

Anna talks to Nina Garcia about all of that and more on today's episode
of "Women Rule."
