Day 1 of that intern life..

First goal of the day achieved I wake up on time and early for once, so I guess its foreshadowing my day. The tube was easy not to busy considering rush hour, managing to get a seat, playing a playlist of cheesy upbeat songs to get me into a mood for the day. Miss Warren Street station and end of getting off a Godge Street but all is ok, the office is basically half way between both. But as I get my bearings as Eminem would say my 'palms are sweaty, knees weak, arms are heavy' but I remain calm. I walk up to the door press the KCD buzzer and am let in.

I walk in and am greeted with warm smiles and welcomes, everyone comes and greets me with a handshake and smile. After been taking through who people are and what they do, Bryony who was my supervisor as such took me to the conference table and presented me with my contract, a confidentiality agreement, and an expenses form.

My first task of the day was coverage, in which every morning we have to scan every major UK newpapers and fashion magazines plus online coverage looking for mentions of the brands in which KCD represent such as Maison Margiela, Chloe, Tory Burch, Phillip Lim and ThomasTait. This could range from The Daily Telegraph to The Guardian to Vogue UK to Wonderland Magazine.

After this me and the other interns, Laura and Thea head upstairs with the return bags that come back from these publications or stylists, and in which they talk me through this system called GPS in which is an online system of which you create send-outs and can log a return. Basically an online log that we can always see where samples are and what publications they are at.

After having an hour break, I continue doing this until the end of the day at 6, where i am thanked for helping etc and hope I had a great first day!
