Stacey Moors - Fashion Assistant - New Magazine
Claire Brayford - Deputy Fashion Editor - Daily Express
Mark O’Connor – Fashion Editor - Daily Express
Antonia Kraskowski – Junior Stylist - Daily Express
Simona Russo - Fashion Assistant – Daily Express
SOPHIE STEVENS - EXECUTIVE STYLE DIRECTOR - MORE
DANIELA BELANCA - LIFESTYLE WRITER & KAT BRYNE –FASHION EDITOR - CLOSER
On appointments we take all of our new and amazing pieces, and they pick what is suitable for their upcoming features and shoots. Everyone took so many pieces, so they all went well.
going to this today. This week has been rad.
My Friend Jo has just graduated. Here is her final collection. I personally think its amazing. She has done so much in a year, this time last year me and her were rummaging through dodgy fabric shops in Shepards Bush as she tried to plan her collection. Very proud of her.

I am also attending this next week, with Nene:
To mark the 150th anniversary of Italy’s unification, Masters of Style brings together six of Italy’s most influential fashion houses to celebrate the stories behind Italian fashion. Looking at defining moments from their advertising campaigns, Armani, Dolce & Gabbana, Ferragamo, Gucci, Missoni and Prada will showcase a personally hand-picked selection of images from their collections and archives, bringing to life iconic style moments and offering an insight into the passion and influences behind their work
Also this week we hosted our ‘Christmas In July’ Arcadia Group Press Day. All the Christmas collections look amazing. Lots of knits, lots of black, lots of velvet. I particularly loved the Topman Collection. All the knits look so cozy and like something that has been passed down through generations or it’s this kind of thing you take from your boyfriend, and never want to return.
I always say I hate winter, but I think its the best time of year for fashion and dressing up.

As an intern I rarely get invited to events such as these, so its fair to say I was very excited when I was asked to go to Soho House, London, a members only club, to watch Jonathon Saunders get interviewed for Harpers Bazaar. I went with Nene, the director of Impulse PR and Rahki, the sales executive for Hugo boss Black.
Jonathon Saunders, told us all about his early career, how he got started, where he finds inspiration, collections he has hated (Spring 2005), and how he took a £1 mega bus from Scotland to his Central St Martins interview. It was quite inspirational, and I look forward to seeing more Jonathon Saunders collections.
At the end we went and said hello, and introduced ourselves, and as we were leaving he told me ‘good luck’. Little bit star struck, I must say.
Tonight I am attending Lucy Yeoman (Editor In Cheif at Harpers Bazaar) interviewing Jonathan Saunders.
I’m so excited. Such a good opportunity.
