Vote for the Spring 2010 New York Fashion Week Internship Finalists

New York Fashion week is just around the corner and our search for four fantastic interns continues.

We carefully read through all the entries we received on our blog and narrowed our choices down to seven fabulous fashionistas, who have submitted videos of themselves answering these questions:

1. If Fashion Week were an island and you could take only three things with you, what would they be and why?
2. If you were a pair of shoes, which pair of shoes would you be and why?
3. If you were to attend a premiere Fashion Week party, what would you wear and why?

Now it’s up to you to vote for your favorite intern candidate. Voting starts Jan. 22, 2010 (now!), and ends 11:59 p.m., Jan 28, 2010. Please remember that only the votes on our poll below are counted. Ratings and comments on YouTube do not count. Official interns will be announced on or around Feb. 1, 2010. Check out the videos below and vote for your favorite! The four candidates with the most votes will move on to a week of water ambassadorship and haute couture. Good luck to everyone!

Here are the videos, in alphabetical order, by last name:


Name: Emily Bender


Name: Patrice Chatman


Name: Dawn Conrade


Name: Lauren Crumpecker


Name: Laura Harap


Name: Kimberly Preacely


Name: Aislinn Zolna

Aislinn is the best for sure. Ive known her since 5th grade and has been my best friend for years and will always be. She would always have my back no matter what and i know i can always always depend on her. I know how much she wants this internship and how much she deserves it. She is extremely hard working and would def. take the most of this opportunity. good luck ash <3

Some of these vote totals seem to be on steroids as they jump up huge amounts in seemingly no time and against trends... not accusing, just saying...
01.27.10 @ 10:39 PM

Although I wish all the contestants luck, one certainly is the most fashionable, marketable, and original. LAUREN CRUMPECKER ALL THE WAY!!!!

I think Laura is great :) she seems dilligent, young, attentive, and someone great for this position

From what I can tell, everyone who has posted knows the people they are voting for. As an outside person having never met any of these girls, I think the one who actally took time and put effort and thought into her video is # 4 down Lauren Crumpecker. All of the girls thought about their answers, but the quality and thought put into her video is refreshing. I hope that people vote fairly.
01.26.10 @ 8:31 AM

Lauren has good presence, well organized and has thought out her presentation. She's a winner as far as I am concerned.

Emily Bender is by far the most stylish of the group! I think she will be the best candidate in representing FIJI at NY Fashion Week. Go EMILY!

Vote for that great gal EMILY BENDER! - She'll be a wonderful intern with her fashion sense and she is able to pull it off! She's got pizzaz and perky answers.

I wish success for the all the artists/contestants. However, of all the people I've met in my life Dawn Conrad embodies a phrase I often avoid. She "deserves" our support as much as possible. She has given her life to the ones she loves and perhaps it's time she creates her own path. Forgive the cheesiness but sometimes ya just gotta. Warmly, Johnny
01.25.10 @ 12:53 PM

YAY LAUREN! hers is the best, hands down.
01.25.10 @ 11:54 AM

Lauren Crumpecker is an inspiration to us all; the way she is so passionate about what she wants to do, you can tell she is soooo worth first place. Obviously the votes represent how Lauren is fully capable of getting the word out to a mass audience, just like she could do for Fiji water. Get it girl. You are the BEST!!!!

I have also known Patrice since she was young. She is an amazing person to work with, and she has an awesome personality to boot. Even if she doesn't win, to work at Fashion Week has been a dream of hers since ever, and she will end up working there anyway. You might as well just cut out the middle man. Love ya Pat-Rice!!!! Good luck.
01.23.10 @ 9:46 AM

Dawn Conrade is beautiful, has enormous charisma, cannot take my eyes off her, and would be an enormous asset in this campaign for Fiji. . . . if Hollywood doesn't get her first! If you don't hire her, our company will.
