- A MONTH OR TWO AGO MY TEACHER EMILY ASKED US WEATHER WE WOULD LIKE TO WORK WITH A FASHION DESIGNER CALLED JACOB KIMMIE TO HELP HIM PREPAR FOR LONDON FASHION WEEK, IF WE DESIRED THE OPPERTUNITY WE WERE TO SEND HER A 500 WORD ESSAY ON WHY WE SHOULD BE CHOSEN FOR IT, THIS WAS ALSO OPEN TO THE SECOND AND FOUNDATION YEARS.
AT FIRST I WASN'T GOING TO BECAUSE I DIDN'T THINK I WOULD HAVE A CHANCE BUT SENT MY EMAIL LAST MINUTE REGARDLESS JUST SO I WOULDN'T REGRET IT LATER.
WE THEN BROKE UP FOR CHRISTMAS AND CAME BACK AND THE PEOPLE CHOSEN WERE ANNOUNCED WHEN WE ARRIVED MONDAY MORNING. I WAS TO BE PUT FORTH FOR AN INTERVIEW WITH 18 OTHERS. I WAS ABSOLUTLY SHOCKED, MY EMAIL WAS PROBABLY 100 WORDS LONG AND CONCISTED OF ME BABBLING ON ABOUT HOW MUCH I'D LOVE TO WORK FOR HIM AND HOW GOOD MY ATTENDANCE AND PUNCTUALITY WAS WHICH PROBABLY MADE HER PULL A FACE AS SHE READ IT AS I'M CONSTANTLY LATE AND SPEND MOST MY MORNINGS BEFORE COLLEGE IN COSTA.
ANYWAY, AFTER THE RESULTS WERE ANNOUNCED WE WERE TOLD THE INTERVIEW WAS AT 5PM ON THE SAME DAY! I DON'T THINK IV'E LOOKED WORSE FOR A NORMAL DAY OF COLLEGE SO I MET KERRY, WENT HOME AND CAME OUT DRESSED IN A SUMMER DRESS AND A FUR COAT TO BRAVE THE SNOW, NOT MY BEST IDEA! I NEARLY SLIPPED 29239 TIMES AND THOUGHT I'D ENTER MY INTERVIEW COVERED IN SLUSH. 10 CARAMEL MACCHIATO'S LATER I BRAVED THE WALK DOWN DIGBETH IN MY SOAKING WET DOLLY SHOES, SHAKING WITH COLD AND NERVES AND ARRIVED AT MY INTERVIEW.
I SAT DOWN NOT EVEN THINKING TO TAKE MY COAT OFF AND SPOKE ABOUT HOW MUCH I LOVED FASHION AND MY ASPIRATIONS TO BECOME A FASHION DESIGNER ONE DAY, I PERSONALLY DIDN'T THINK IT WENT VERY WELL AS I JUST SAT THERE TWIDDLING MY THUMBS FOR MOST OF THE INTERVIEW NOT KNOWING WHAT TO SAY HOWEVER I GOT IT!
I WAS THRILLED AS IM QUITE A BIG FAN OF HIS ANYWAY SO IM SO HAPPY THAT I CAN SAY I WORKED WITH HIM AND HOPEFULLY LEARN ALOT.
SO HELLO LONDON FASHION WEEK, NOW FOR THE NEXT CHALLENGE. WHAT TO WEAR?
