My diary as an Intern:
Lana: 17/08/2014 | Category: Lifestyle
I didn't think it would be possible to over dress for a fashion magazine, does Anne Hathaway in 'The Devil wears Prada' spring to mind?
First day was the decision between a dress or jeans? Heels or flats? they say first impressions are important right?
I opted for my black pumps, stripy oversized tee and black leather wrap skirt, (settling for middle ground)
As soon as I arrived at the office I received a text from the stylist saying he needed me to do a 'drop off'
"There is a white bag filled with jeans in the office, i'll send you the address you need to deliver them to".
My first job, this should be fun I thought... Until I opened the office door and was greeted by the over flowing room known as 'the wardrobe'. This wasn't just any ordinary messy wardrobe. Buried amongst all of the mess was Chanel couture, Versace two-pieces, Louboutin heels and Tom Ford shirts.
After eventually finding the bag I set off, phone in hand frantically typing the postcode into 'city mapper' which has been a LIFE SAVER.
Once I dropped them off and got back to the office, my next job was to visit 3 different PR offices. The next thing I know I was sat on the tube clutching a bag filled to the brim with Christian Louboutin heels, with my paranoid self thinking,
"Oh my god, everyone knows what I have in this bag I am going to get robbed".
I finally understand why editors are so slim, I didn't eat lunch until 3pm and by lunch I mean a cereal bar before I received a text from the stylist with my next task to collect the jeans I delivered earlier and bring them back to the office because they HAD to be back by the end of the day.
I didn't get home until 11pm on my first day, a 13 hour day that only felt like 3.
The next day I got a text at 8am saying the jeans needed to be delivered first thing to a new address.
Are you kidding me...? The jeans I carried round London all day yesterday still weren't were they needed to be?
Before I got a chance to reply I received another text,
"oh by the way, you're delivering them to Dynamo the Magician'.
Okay... Play cool Lana, play cool.
