It's been 3 months since I had my lifechanging, whirlwind dip into the sweet pool of fashion. And I'm craving it.
Basically I'm addicted.
I miss the constant creativity, the art, the glamour, the CLOTHES, the fast paced conveyor belt of events (and emotions), the SHOES..
I've always thought I would be a bit above it, you know, intellectual and all. I was challenged and stimulated for 3 years studying the inner neurological workings of the mind and human behaviour.
Fashion? Yea, fine, but surely I'd eventually tire of its superficial, hollow nature.
Turns out no.
Now that I again return like a lamb, to suckle at its silk swathed teat.. That's weird.
What I'm saying is, I miss it.
I plan to travel, I want to live in New Zealand for a year (http://newzeal-thatgirl.blogspot.com/) but that may be partly because I cannot seem to get a job in London.
Goodness knows I tried, h a r d.
But I now have .. a contact. A friend of a friend is a model booker. She's agreed to meet me for a late lunch next week to discuss.
Hurrah! Back to lunching in london with leisure.
We will chat about what she does, I will ask many interesting questions and be charming and engaging. Most likely she will be able to sense efficiency and hard work in my aura alone.
She'll set me up at her agency and I'll consider it.
..
Back in the real world.. I am meeting her, but its more out of interest and keeping my options open. I can't say that the model agency world has ever kept me terribly interestd, but then I know nothing about it. I'm sure I may have said the same of fashion PR a few years back.
She sent me a few links to fashion job sites, which was lovely of her. One I use regularly, the other was new.
I then saw THIS gem of a job description:
The XXXX fashion team are looking for an account assistant to work on some of the agency's most high profile and exciting fashion accounts.
Applicants must have completed previous fashion internships and show a strong industry knowledge. Key responsibilities will include media liaison, showroom management and assisting the team on various administrative tasks. This is a great entry level opportunity for someone looking to take the next step up from an internship.
Uh can you say perfect?
I applied, of course. Despite turning my back on the fashion industry forever on account of my consistent rejection after my internship.
Like I said, I'm addicted.
Shall keep you posted. (she says after not writing for an age..)
