Hi beautiful
fashionistas! I’m Kerry O’Connor and
I will be gratefully serving as the VP of Programming for Fashion Board this
upcoming year.
New York City: One of
the great fashion capitals in the world.
City that never sleeps. The Big Apple.
NYC is the place I am lucky enough to make my playground this summer
thanks to a fashion closet internship at Interview Magazine. As fashion and fate would
have it, Interview is located in Soho, a neighborhood which is home to stores
like Anna Sui, Opening Ceremony and TopShop just to name a few. Needless to say, I have died and gone to
retail heaven.
My favorite piece of artwork of my new favorite city
So far (only 7 days
in) as an intern at Interview Magazine I have learned which PR groups serve as
the umbrella for certain designer brands and have even been thrown into a cab
with 50+ garment bags and a fabulous Italian fashionisto named Luca (who has
actually been my mentor of sorts). On top of that I have gotten my hands on an
Alexander Wang faded purple tie dye coat I’ve been dying over since its
appearance on the runway and so so
much more.

My job includes
picking up and returning garments and accessories that the designers themselves
or the PR groups are lending to Interview for shoots, etc. In addition to these pickups, I take pictures
of all the merchandise and upload them in a complicated computer system that I
am now finally starting to get the hang of.
This past Saturday there was a fashion shoot inspired by the theme of
comfort from some of the runways from Fall ’13. The other interns and I got to help
prepare for this shoot! To see the final
product on the glossy pages of the magazine and knowing I had something to do
with it, though indirectly, will be amazing.
I am learning so much about this industry and each new day both scares
and excites me, after all this world isn’t all cashmere and Louboutins, but it
is fashionably beautiful.
Xx,
Kerry
