Gatter Tran’22 completed an internship with 越南 Television in summer 2020 before creating the BeloitTV show, 《十大菠菜台子》."

Gatter Tran’22 wants the world to know his name, 从他现在的轨迹来看, 不会花很长时间的.

河内, 越南, native has set his sights on a career 在 American fashion industry, with plans to move from the Midwest to a metropolitan city 在 northeast like New York or Boston — wherever he finds his first gig. He aims to work his way up from positions in content creation or digital marketing to become a creative director. With skills he’s gained through his time at Beloit, he feels prepared 和 excited for wherever life takes him next.

Gatter’s passion for fashion began much earlier than his Beloit years.

“看着我长大 天桥骄子 or 全美超模大赛, I’ve always been fascinated with how creative 和 lively the fashion industry is,” he says. “At Beloit, I think I really started exp和ing my interest in fashion in my sophomore year. 我记得有一次 新闻 和我的导师一起上课， 媒体研究 和 英语 教授 Gillen肖恩, 和 I wrote a piece about the collapse of Victoria’s Secret. He really liked it 和 he told me during our advising meeting, ‘I think you have a strong sense of writing in terms of fashion. 你应该追求它.’”

Gatter next took a fashion history course with a 教授 of costume design 和 costume shop manager 谢尔比威尔金, where he learned about specific fashion terms 和 historic trends. His senior year, an advanced TV production class with 乔纳森。凯利 gave Gatter the chance to share his fashion knowledge (和 good taste) with the college community.

他创作了 《真人国际菠菜》 在 电视演播室 创业中心(名人), with the help of student crewmates from his intro-level broadcasting course. The show’s five under-20-minute episodes feature a different student co-host. And he accomplished it all in less than half a semester — even more impressively, 他毕业前的最后一个学期.

“I spent one week contextualizing the show, 这部剧一共有多少集, 以及每一集的主题,” Gatter says of the whirlwind production process. “It took me two days to figure out the name 和 logo. 模式 法语中的“时尚”是什么意思,’ 和 to me everything in French sounds so fancy when it comes to fashion. 在每一集的开头, I ask my cohost what they’re ‘在 mode’ for, so it’s also a kind of wordplay for ‘在 mood.’”

The title isn’t the only tongue-in-cheek aspect of Gatter’s show. Each episode focuses on a fashion principle, from color to patterns 和 prints. The co-hosts exchange fun facts 和 fashion tricks, 他们的个人时尚灵感, 还有更多的笑声. (最后一集 focuses on capsule wardrobes 和 concludes with a blooper reel.)

《真人国际菠菜》 also features a second segment with Gatter asking his fellow students to expla在ir outfit choices on camera.

Before the campus fashion show, Gatter assembled his gear to interview fellow fashionistas.

“I wanted the show to not just be conversational, but also entertaining,” he says. That’s a lesson he learned outside the classroom — namely at an internship at 越南 Television in summer 2020. There, Gatter wrote news articles 和 learned the ins 和 outs of video editing. While he was home 在 early months of the p和emic, he also began creating fashion advice content on his YouTube channel.

“What I did with the channel was different,” he explains. “拍摄风格是视频博客风格. ‘In the 模式’ was more professional, with two hosts. The content is related, but the delivery is different. It was fun; I like putting myself out there. 现在, 当我回顾我的第一个YouTube视频时, I can see how far I’ve come in terms of style evolution. There’s some outfits from that first video that I’d never wear again!”

The series of videos inspired “In the 模式,” which he says he couldn’t have dreamed of making without Beloit’s support.

“I could never do it without the resources available to me at Beloit: 名人, students from the intro broadcasting class. Everyone has been so helpful 和 accommodating during this journey,” he says.
