Confessions of a Fashion Student

In case you were wondering why I've been M.I.A. the last few days... school has pretty much consumed my life. I had a couple HUGE projects due & an exam today. Thus, I've had 6 hrs combined for the last 2 nights. Let's just say I could use some beauty sleep!

I can't even complain about my assignment because I really enjoyed it! We had to select merchandise for our "store" and then show what we could coordinate onto fixtures in a retail store. Then, use excel to create a spreadsheet as a buyer would. I had alot of fun with it, and it made me really excited to think that I could be doing something like this one day as a career!

Here's a mini peek at my assignment and some of my favorite fixtures:








Let me know if you need me to ID anything! (Most of the images are from chickdowntown.com, anthropologie, & shopbop!) Now.. NAP TIME. happy friday everyone :)

  4. Ooh the sea glass-themed fixture is my favourite. Merchandising is trickier than it looks, isn't it? When I worked at a toy store I'd have to find ways to stock the merchandise so that it was eye-catching but optimized the limited space I had.

  5. What a fun assignment! Man, makes me want to switch careers, although I'm sure it's also quite hard work too.

  12. Honestly, I wish I was given assignments like this in school. But no, I'm given aggravating word problems involved 15i + (-62i) = 5x (or some such torture). I should have gone into fashion! Love these sets - I would most definitely go broke at your "store"! :)

  13. I LOVED that assignment...I had children's and made the most obnoxiously overpriced little kids store. LOVED it! Wait until you get to go into the macy's lab...it's even more fun!
