This week has been extremely busy and stressful for everyone at the office. The magazine is going to have a big international photo shoot for a summer feature so swim suits were constantly being shipped to the office and the other interns and I had to check in every single bikini....
All I can say after this week is I know EXACTLY what swimsuits I will be buying for this summer! :] The swim trends they have come out with this season I LOVE!!
The office was especially stressful because with only a week before the international shoot the fashion director needed to have a run through. A run through is when all of the clothes and accessories that have been ordered in are laid out in an organized way so that the fashion director can make choices on what to take for the shoot. Everything needs to be organized and hung a certain way and it needs to be ready by a certain time. All of the assistants were freaking out because they were not quite ready and on top of that we ran out of hangers and we still had hundreds of swimsuits that still needed to go on the racks.
This was my first time experiencing something like this, someone in the office told me that the fashion director likes to work by herself and that when she is in the room there would be no talking and get out of the way. I was pretty nervous and stressed because of everything going on. I didn’t really know what to expect.
But before I knew it the director walks in and announces “Ok I’m ready to work.” And in that moment everyone scatters off out of sight and everything grew silent.
(Disclaimer: Just for the record, I have met the fashion director personally and she is actually a nice person. But when it comes to her job she is just very serious.)
After the run through early in the week things started to settle down. I have been doing a ton of errands lately where I have to pick up things from different designer houses. I have been to Donna Karen, Fendi, Escada, and places like that so it is really cool to see the different designer PR offices! Going on errands are actually pretty fun because I get to have a break from the office as well as see parts of the city. (I pretty much know Fashion Ave. like the back of my hand now).
I had to run errands the morning of another run through this week and I had to stop at 4 different PR firms in the city and get back to the office before 11 am. It was crunch time and was running around, I took a taxi back to the office instead of the subway and made it in the nick of time at 10:45.
The taxi had a tv in it which was pretty cool!
The Market director assigned me a project of finding a runway picture that goes with a certain theme for a fashion feature. I’m pretty excited and nervous at the same time. If I find a really good picture it will be published in the magazine. But I’m nervous because I’m scared she won’t like anything I present, she is a bit intimidating....
On a bright note....
I WILL BE GOING ON MY FIRST PHOTO SHOOT!!!! AHHH I’m so excited. I had mentioned to one of the fashion assistants that I was really interested in going to one and she put in a good word for me! So I will be helping on a photo shoot this coming Tuesday. I will let you know how that goes!!!!! J

Curry Turkey Wrap- Sooooo good!
I am already half way though my internship and time has been flying by. I have learned so much already and I can’t wait to see what else I will experience during the rest of my internship.
I still want to explore what New York has to offer. But because I work full time it is kind of hard to do stuff when I get out of work at 6:30 or 7 pm and I’m tired....
I just have to make myself do it, when will I ever get the chance again?
