It feels surreal that as I write this I'm entering my last week at
fabulous yet when this gets published on my blog I will have long
finished - I'm not ready to leave!!
Monday was spent doing the usual returns + special deliveries, and
unpacking from shoots! Also a new intern arrived called Nhi who's going
to be there a month so myself and Sophie have been doing our best to
settle her in.
Tuesday was another shoot day - at Motel Studios (I actually
navigated the overground today and am pretty pleased with myself), and
it's with Tess Daly and included lots of tailored monochrome pieces and
some amazing Kurt Geiger heels
Tuesday also marks the day I saw the cover of the magazine from the
shoot I did with Caroline Flack (and a selection of her pics from
Instagram which I've included below!)
Wednesday involved a lot of returns, and also unpacking some new in
items (including some dreamy shoes from ASOS) and amazing faux fur
coats from Zara. Today I also got tasked with writing the credits for
the 'Lust List' feature for the October 3 issue on behalf of Nana, the
shopping editor and celebrity stylist. I also packed up some suitcases
for Tracey, the fashion directors shoot, which had a Victorian 70s vibe
with lots of florals, velvets and layering.
Thursday involved further returns and searching for items, as well
as getting to see a physical copy of the Caroline Flack issue!
Unfortunately myself and Mary weren't credited for our work on the
shoot; however my name features for the staff pages shoot I went on and
did the credits for, eeek!
We also got to see the most incredible sticky toffee cake that had
come in for Nana (the shopping editor) and also got given some Hotel
Chocolat treats that had already been shot (thank you PRs for sending
food, yours sincerely a fashion intern)
My final day at Fabulous seem to go so so quickly - in a midst of
unpacking New in pieces for the fashion editor (and then getting to
write some credits for some amazing velvet, sequin, tartan and leopard
pieces - including the most amaze teal velvet backless jumpsuit I need
in my life) and also writing up credits for a shoot that occurred
yesterday (I have successfully overcome my fear of phone calls which I
guess happens after you call PRs chasing their lack of response to your
email, but probably more to do with the fact that every press assistant
or manager I spoke to was so so LOVELY that it was like chatting to a
pal!). Myself and sophie felt a bit emotional as we were leaving -
especially me after I received the NICEST email from Lynne following my
completion of the credits for the sequin / velvet etc (and may have shed
a tear or two!) and even more so after we gave our hugs goodbye to her
and Daisy, and then that was it!
I'd officially survived and LOVED my month of commuting and interning in London at a fashion magazine.
