it has been way too long since I posted last, I know.
please forgive me! :)
update with my hectic life: I got a job at Express and offers from Bath and Body Works as well as G by Guess. Very excited about Express but still anxious to hear from Club Monaco, Free People, and Juicy Couture. I mean come on.. it's Juicy Couture. those of you who know me personally know how much those two words mean to me. hehe.
anyway, I have officially attended all five of my three hour classes at least once.
Tuesdays by far are MY day.
I start Tuesday off in a class called the Retail Environment from 9:30-12:15
my instructor, Mima Ransom, was the woman who brought the high-end lingerie store, La Perla, to the United States.. I mean.. she's kind of a big deal?!
anywhooo; for my Retail Environment class our project and main focus for the quarter is to learn everything about a store from top to bottom and at the end of the quarter present it to the class. (take a wild guess which store I picked.)
we are to research everything from target market to the bio of the 'hot shots' of the company
pretty fun way to spend the next ten weeks if you ask me.
the other class I have on Tuesday is 20th Century Designers.
our textbook is like a beautiful encyclopedia of the designers who have set the bar for everyone in the fashion world.
it includes long time legends such as Coco Chanel, who gained her ever-growing claim to fame in the 20's, to the new kids on the block such as Monique Lhuillier, a FiDM grad :)
this quarter we are working on building a notebook of 20 designers with full information about everything that may be of importance further in our career.
we also will be working as groups to teach the class about designers.
learning about Karl Lagerfield and Valentino sure beats learning about some old fart in a history class.
gotta love fashion school :)
I'll keep you all posted.
xoxo.
