Internship.

I started my internship June 4th till August 1st, more or less, at Vera Wang, Manhattan, NYC. I've been a fan of Vera Wang ever since my aunt gave me a folder with all her designs (I was about 15 years old), including a biography and a black and white picture of Vera, her self. That being said, it's been about 8 years since I've been "dreaming" of her designs. They're not like others. I mean, some are cool and all, and not precisely a known designer, but Vera makes ALL her designs desirable and all of them are made with the same fabrics. Tones vary, they go from white, ivory, vanilla, lavender (lavender is a gorgeous color!) to black or red. All dresses have at least 5 layers.

So... I thought I'd be getting coffee. Obviously I was so wrong. I did patterns, I checked if the packages that came in where all safe and sound, and with no defects (embroidery generally), if there was, we sent it back for another one. I also did inventory's, I checked receipts/invoice's. Picked up and dropped off lots of stuff and sewed labels on sashes.

It was truly an amazing experience. I got to hang out mostly with the pattern maker, so I learned a lot from her (she was awesome!); the way they made patterns was different than how we do it in Mexico, well... at least at school. You know, it's so damn hard at school, but when I was doing my intern, I thought it was the easiest thing in the world, the only hard part was waking up at 6, to get an express train at 7 (more or less) and be there at least by 8:30 to walk my way to work.

I hope I get another experience like this.
