Clothes Show Live...

06.12.08

I went to the Clothes Show Live and it was absolutely amazing. I've been a few times before but this year's show was great. Its so fun and really gets the adrenaline going! There were some amazing outfits everything from swimwear to Dayglo retrosports wear and outerwear. I managed to take a few pictures and videos - be warned I am no photographer!!

Gorgeous models wearing pure white dresses and suits

I also got the chance to see Hillary Alexander (Telegraph's Fashion reporter) introduce the collections of Jean Charles Castelbajac, Christopher Kane, Burberry, Gucci and Kenzo. Which made the hairs on the back of my neck stand up being so close to those beautiful clothes - literally 2 meters away!!!!! My camera ran out of battery - so alas no photos.

Buying and Merchandising

With a new year has come a new unit and this one has really sparked something in me! Its interesting. I even typed up my notes on my new macbook so I'm feeling rather posh i must say. I've worked in retail before and used to love doing the figures in the morning - so maybe a career as a merchandiser is in the horizons!! Imagine being able to take control of Topshop's stock and being responsible for what everyone is wearing....well kind of!!!



I'm also reading a book at the moment by some Lecturers of London College of Fashion about buying and merchandising - just for a bit of extra motivation!! Bare with me I'm not an expert just yet, only on page 14...

Dazed and Confused by the snow...

I've been on a quest lately to try and fill up my summer with work experience. Dazed &Confused magazine arranged an interview with me - and it just so happened to be on the day the snow started, and with it all the chaos...The trains were cancelled, the buses of London, and most of the tubes. So i couldn't go....She's trying to re-schedule me....Fingers crossed.
