(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.)
Gucci Press Day -
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.
