Crafted

Last weekend whilst I was taking my street style photos, I stopped a man, stylish,

well presented and as it happened someone who was about to help me out a lot.

After taking his photo, he asked wether I was looking for work experience which of

course I am, he then went on to tell me he was the head of the menswear buying department

 at Republic. A week later I found myself working in the Leeds Head Office as a buying 

assistant. I can not belive my luck, definatly not something that happens every day!

I have done 2 days so far, and I am really enjoying such a great oppurtunity. I have agreed

to a three week placement helping the buying team for the mens wear brand Crafted that is

featured at Republic. Yesterday I was asked to create two Autumn/Winter looks to be worn

on the manequins for the VM window. Aswell as sitting in on a suppliers meeting, looking at

 new products that are brought to the brand. Today was fittings day, where a Crafted model

tries on stock sent from suppliers, I was asked to make notes on any adjusments and then pass

them on. It was hard staring at a model for an hour but somebody has to do it!
