What I got up to...

I arrived at 9am at the Clapham offices, Orla Kiely Headquarters! After meeting the design team and the other student who was working there for the week I had my first job of the day, the closet!
After re arranging the closet and making everything tidy we prepared a folder of the new Ready to Wear AW 11 Collection to be sent to the manufacturers in Hong Kong.
After Lunch Orla personally asked if i would care to join her on a trip to the printers. The private driver pulled up outside and we jumped in the car off to the printers in Ealing. The larger than life prints were for London Fashion Week (LFW) on Friday and needed to be checked before 24 girls were printed full scale and prints for flooring. Orla said that whilst she could have sent someone, she wanted the final say as colour and quality is so important. At the printers lots had to be changed!
