Hi everyone!
I'd say i've had a well deserved break from blogging possibly about 3 weeks but whilst i've been away I've been learning some valuable experience in the fashion industry before starting The University of Sunderland in September where I will be studying Fashion Journalism, 19 days till freshers, whose excited? After my work experience on Newcastle Fashion week I was eager to learn more about the fashion industry, but through the area that I will be studying in. I emailed around magazine's and online websites and eventually got a reply from the team at AX Paris who are based in Manchester. I originally only wanted to do a couple of days as I've never really been away from home on my own but 2 weeks was the minimum and there was no way I was turning an opportunity like that down. Fortunately, my dad's step sister recently moved to Manchester which is where I stayed for the 2 weeks and boy we had so much fun.
I arrived at Manchester Piccadilly on Monday 3rd August real early and I basically got straight to the busy, city working life, I made my own way to where I needed to be (without my precious car), I met the team at AX Paris and got straight into the Social Media side of the company. I looked for bloggers that they could work with, companies to collaborate with, I did work through Instagram and work on the website itself such as linking Celebrity style steals to the product on the website, linking bloggers and also working behind the scenes so that the new collection went live on time. I also got to write a piece for the AX Paris blog about Rosie Fortescue's style steal, you can view it at the very end of this post. I felt so privileged to be with the team at the time of AW15 launch, if you haven't already shopped the style go ahead here.
