weekend + fashion campus nyc
THIS PAST WEEKEND, ME AND SOME FELLOW INTERNS FROM STYLECASTER ATTENDING THE FIRST 'FASHION CAMPUS NYC' HELD BY PARSONS NEW SCHOOL FOR DESIGN. FRIDAY AND SATURDAY WE LISTED TO EXPERTS FROM DIFFERENT PARTS OF THE FASHION INDUSTRY AND WERE ABLE TO NETWORK WITH THEM ALSO. BECAUSE WE KNOW HOW IMPORTANT CONNECTIONS AND NETWORKING IS IN THE FASHION INDUSTRY. AFTER A LONG DAY FRIDAY OF PREPARING FOR PHOTO SHOOTS THIS UPCOMING WEEK, ME AND ANOTHER INTERN RUSHED TO MAKE IT TO THE EVENT ON TIME ON FRIDAY. WE LISTENED TO FASHION INDUSTRY EXPERTS FROM CFDA, SAKS, WEST ELM, AND SO MUCH MORE. AFTER EACH OF THE SPOKE, WE WERE ABLE TO ASK THEM QUESTIONS. ON SATURDAY, WE WERE SEPARATED INTO DIFFERENT SESSIONS PERTAINING TO WHICH PART OF THE FASHION INDUSTRY WE ARE INTERESTED IN LIKE PR, PRODUCT DEVELOPMENT, AND ACCOUNTING. AND TO FINISH THE EVENT, WE LISTENED TO DEREK LAM SPEAK. I WAS ABLE TO ASK HIM A QUESTION OF MY OWN AND HE KINDLY ANSWERED. I GREW MORE RESPECT FOR DEREK LAM AFTER THIS WEEKEND.
