7/27/10 Fashion design internship

            Today was so awesome! Laurieanne let me get my own lunch today, and sent me to starbucks to get coffee for her, and Terra. I got to organize bins and binders, I helped rearrange Laurieanne's work space, put tags on garments, made photo copies, sketched, labeled things, grabbed things from racks, and I even got to name some of the clothing. I was in charge of writing all of the names down on paper. Brooke would hold up a piece of clothing and together, we would name the clothing. Everyone would give in ideas.
            At the end of the day, Laurieanne sent me to the back of the studio where a bunch of boxes were. She said I could pick something that I like but, I like everything! Most of the clothing were big on me but, i've chosen 3 so far that I like and will try on next time I go to work, which will be thursday :)

My fashion designing future :)

             I'm glad that I am an intern for a fashion designer. I'm learning a lot about the fashion world. When I grow up, I want to be a fashion designer. So, being and intern and getting started on my career early is great.  I wanted to be a fashion designer when I was young but, then I began focussing more on visual arts like drawing and painting. Then a while later, my dad took me to a fashion photo shoot and I automatically got inspired and came back to the idea of becoming a fashion designer. I love fashion, and I enjoy dressing up all fancy like where ever I go.
             I was also inspired by my mom. Her fashion illustrations are beyond fabulous and I sometimes practice and warm up before I draw by looking at her work at her website. My dad and aunt are involved in the fashion business too. My dad is photographer and sometimes takes pictures of Laurieanne Gilner's work. My aunt is a graphic designer, and I sometimes come to work with her and help out!

7/26/10 Fashion design Internship

         I just came back from my job today, and it was so much fun! I Organized boxes, folded fabrics, printed things out, and sorted things. This time, my dad took me to the studio. Once we got off the train at 34th street, my dad told me to lead the way to Laurieanne's studio.
         I was so excited to come back again, the work that I do is so fun! This time, I got to answer the door. Usually, answering the door is done by Terra since she is closer to the door but, Laurieanne asked me to open the door whenever the bell rang. Laurieanne had me sort out her folders which, I did very carefully since I didn't want to mess up. The first time around, I had 5 large piles in front of me which were labeled as, animal prints, geometric prints, dates/deliveries, solid colored fabrics and floral prints. Later on, I divided up the solid colored fabrics by their colors. Soon, I had an extra 13 folders in front of me labeled as different colors.
        The day went by pretty fast after lunch. I got really into my last task. I folded fabrics, and placed them in different boxes. When i looked at the time on my cell phone, it was already 5:50! I was almost done with my work, and wanted to finish before my aunt picked me up. It was perfect, I finished just in time and had time to put the tops back on the plastic boxes and even put away some of them under Laurieanne's desk!

7/23/10 Fashion Design Internship

         Yesterday,  I went to work as an intern for a fashion designer. I wasn't nervous at all. I was ready, and couldn't wait. I took the subway, looking fabulous with my sophisticated denim shorts that were high waisted, and my white top with a braided black belt and black-strapped sandals. My aunt felt the need to change once she saw me in the morning but I dress in a similar style everyday. The designer's studio is in Manhattan. Her name is Laurianne Gilner, and she does casual  contemporary designs that are super awesome. I was assigned different tasks like, putting tags on various garments and photo copying fabrics and dresses for samples to send to India. It took a while to complete my tasks but, It was so fun.
        The Day ended with me leaving the studio to get coffee for Laurianne, Terra and I at star bucks. I had everyone's order on a small piece of paper. The line at star bucks was long but fortunately, It went by fast.."TWO GRANDE ICED COFFEES AND ONE TALL ICED LATTE PLEASE!!!!!", I shouted. The service was surprisingly fast. I arrived back at the studio with a tray that carried three coffees, 3 splenda's sugar, and of course 3 straws. The entire day was great, but at exactly 5:00, my mother arrived to pick me up.....
