Second Week at Reveal Mag!

Ok... so second week was pretty damn amazing.. Both the fashion assistants were away abroad so I had more responsibilities to take on... I took and made more important calls, put in orders for clothes and accessories..etc and helped with the beauty section of the magazine also.

Pixie Lott was launching her collection at Lipsy in the week at House Of Fraser down Oxford Street. I, as a part of the Reveal team, got invited for the official launch party at uber trendy Gilgamesh in Camden in the evening.
There was free cocktails, candyfloss, pik'n'mix and a photobooth with funny dressing up clothes inside! not to mention the place swarming with celebs! Pixie looked beautiful in one of her designed dressed and made a speech thanking everyone. They presented her with an award for her successful sell out s/s collection too. Her collection looked fab, I think she's done Lipsy very proud!

Inside of Gilgamesh Pixie's collection was displayed along with a band set and her big glittery name!

                          Tinchy Stryder was one of her celeb friends there to support her launch..

I took a photo for a lady with Pixie and she noticed i was wearing this ring on my finger and held up her hand to mine showing she had the exact same one! Pixie's known to like her rings.. (regularly wearing one on every finger) This one is from Juicy Couture or www.asos.com

All in all work experience has been such a learning experience and really value how important it is so you can get your foot in the doorway into the fashion world! The Fashion Editor Wendy actually said to me she valued work experience more important then a degree when she looks to employ someone new. This shocked me at first but i knew what she meant and made me realise i need to get as much work experience as i can.

Work Experience at Reveal Magazine!

Ok.. so first week of work experience at Reveal.. I've really enjoyed the week and learnt alot about how the magazine works!..
It started off with me sending back clothes & samples they'd been sent at Reveal and I was doing that mostly for the first 3 days. I then got to look for celeb images on their special up to date system which brings in so many new papped celeb photos throughout the day and I had to look at what they were wearing for the 'i want what she's got' page.
I recognized a few Topshop items (Topshop fanatic) aswel as some others so got all the pics prepared ready for the magazine spread. Also had to write the captions which I felt pretty nervous about doing at first. I had a huge grin on my face when the Fashion Stylist said it was good though :)

I was told I was going to be working on a photoshoot with Katya Virshilas - a championship dancer from Strictly Come Dancing. I was sooo excited!
I had to travel to an amazingly beautiful house in London, prepare the clothes and outfits, steam/iron, lay them out. I helped style and dress Katya. I had such a great day - it was an amazing experience. I loved seeing how they set it all out and took pictures. Everybody there was so nice and worked together so well.
