Life of a Fashion Intern - Karl Plewka

 
(my friend Laura, also an intern, looking sad on our lunch break....and the dreaded bags!)


   It's not all glamour and pretty clothes! It's more like; sweat dripping down your face as you run with 10 heavy shopping bags down a street to catch your bus. I can't tell you how sore I am after a days work. I feel like I have run a marathon. HOWEVER, it's a brilliant experience,  a chance to make contacts and get a real insight into the wonderful world of fashion.

   Today,  I picked up a MASSIVE amount of clothes and accessories for a photo-shoot tomorrow. I went to Vivienne Westwood's press office to get shoes and bumped into Beth Ditto! I also picked up fur from Noble furs (not a shop for animal lovers)  and more fur again from Ana Konda. I also saw Matt Horne on the way to What Katie Did, a faux vintage lingerie shop.


A very tired and sweaty me ended the day with two press-days. One for Gucci and the other for Hermes. (A press day is a chance for industry people to check out the collections before general release...an excuse to look at and talk about clothes with a cocktail in one hand and a mini pastry in the other.)

Hermes - 



My phone sadly ran out of battery so you can't see the amazing leather handbags that were on display, not to mention the Hermes saddle.

  1. I adore them all. I have a backyard get rid of out by our pond and love to possess my morning
    coffee out there listening to character.

  2. What about the idea that when bulking, you have a tendency to
    put on more muscular bodyweight vs. fat when you find yourself already in
    a minimal bodyfat proportion? e.g. a man who begins bulking at
    10% BF may possibly acquire ten lbs. muscle, 10 lbs.

    excess fat, while a man at 20% BF may acquire 6 lbs.
    muscle mass, fourteen lbs. excess fat? The numbers are
    created up but you get the idea.

  3. I forgot to say a single other point: Have plenty of fruits/vegetables on hand.

    Particularly grapes and apples. Grapes are identified to simulate the alcoholic beverages effect and apples include roughage to help her rid in the poisons
    in her stools.
