Ny's Eunoia: LFW Internship: Day Two.

So in terms of things going to plan day one had been a breeze. I had arrived on time, was on the list (despite missing the meeting), and there were no bitches as my fellow interns were lovely. However I was starting to realise other not so great things about being an intern, number one being the constant waiting around. As we were involved in setting up the catwalk and showing guests and visitors to their seats, interns had to be in early to help with preparation for the shows. Of course I expected this but what I didn't expect was coming in at 11 and sitting in the bag room till 1. It did become quite tedious and I found myself coming in closer to the show times in the following days, rather than the times we were asked to come in.

Nevertheless once the waiting was over we started work and on day 2 our first task was to direct visitors to the Helen Van Rees showcase. Myself and a few other interns were then asked to offer drinks to everyone once they had come in. This time I had remembered to bring my camera but of course, I had left it downstairs, I mentally kick myself as the Helen Van Rees collection is stunning and I have nothing other than my shitty Blackberry to capture it on.The concept of the showcase itself was something that I took a likening to and as much as I love the catwalk shows it was nice to be around something new and different. During the showcase the models were placed in various parts of the room as visitors were given the chance to see the collection up close, take pictures and also speak to the designer herself. I'm not one for regrets but if I did have any that day it was not speaking to Helen whilst I had the chance. After doing a little research on the designer I discovered she recently graduated from Central Saint Martins, a university that I am considering studying at. Through her designs it is clear to see she has a bright future and is a very talented lady!

The showcase lasted for about 2 hours and as it came to an end all the interns went off to lunch. We had a very big break until the next show so I decided to go to Somerset House with some of the other interns as I knew we’d spot some amazing street style, and yes, also to see if we could spot anyone famous. I did see some amazing outfits but unfortunately I didn't manage to get many pictures as it was very busy and crowded and as I was wearing heels my balance wasn't its best on the cobbled ground inside.

After a very long lunch break we returned to Freemasons Hall for our last show of the day which was the Ashley Isham collection. The routine was pretty much the same as the day before, we were in charge of seating, Priority, Seating and Standing ect. I enjoyed this show mostly due to the amazing evening dresses and the use of plastic in some of the outfits. You’ll also be glad to hear that I finally got hold of my camera, and as I was lucky enough to be quite near to the front I managed to get some decent pictures.
