An interns dreams come true
In my final semester in design school, I did a full time internship with designer Nanette Lepore. While I was there I helped prepare the Fall 2013 collection for New York Fashion Week. I assisted in hand beading and material dying.
While in New York…
While I was a design intern at Nanette Lepore I learned many skills and developed a better understanding of the fashion industry with hands on experience. Some of the skills I learned while I was an intern was color matching and dyeing fabrics, hand beading, advanced my pattern making skills, learned about print development for textiles, and advanced my knowledge on knit design.
I helped with two events while I was an intern. I learned the what goes into preparing for NYFW and what happens during market week. I also lead organizing the brand’s biggest sample sale.
