You need to know how this industry works. Designing clothes is not the only thing in the fashion industry, there are a lot more things to be learnt before getting into the feild of fashion!

I am a recent graduate with a diploma and a dream. I graduated with a dual degree in Communications and Social Psychology, and have been jumping in head first into jobs in the fashion world ever since. I have a passion for all forms of art, and fashion is a beautiful form of expression. I am from St. Louis, MO and have participated in local fashion weeks behind the scenes in marketing and event promo positions and even hopped on the runway as a fashion model in some showcases. I am versatile, love the fast paced changing environment of the fashion world and would be ecstatic about coming to the big city to participate this year. What a wonderful way to experience the big city for the first time. FIJI Natural Artesian Water is a brand I am more than familiar with, it is my drink of choice. I love water, and always refer to it as nature"s finest. Haven"t ordered a soda out a restaurant in years, and always prefer Mother Nature"s recommendation to any corn syrup caffeinated drink. FIJI is honestly the most notable brand, and is recognizable through packaging, and a pure taste. I ALREADY have pictures on hand of myself holding FIJI water which is hilarious, because who takes pictures with water for no reason? I do ? I love it; it keeps the skin supple and youthful, and is the healthiest drink you will come across. So, having the best water brand around, paired with the top fashion week in the nation would be the culmination of a dream, and a most exciting experience. I would be humbly and excitedly welcome the opportunity. My name is Diana Blair. I am a recent graduate with a diploma and a dream.

I'm Sunnie. I would love to be an intern at New York Fashion Week 2009 because I love fashion. Fashion is my life. I'm so very passionate about fashion. I'm a very fun person, I'm very dedicated, and I'm a people person. I realize the stress that comes working in the fashion industry but I am up for the challenge 24/7. I follow direction very well and I move fast. I think this oppurtunity would very beneficial to me as my goal in life is to become a fashion designer. The fashion world is an amazing one and I will be a part of it in any way possible. Coming from St. Louis, where resources are limited, I feel this would be an awesome experience. I would also like to add in closing that I am a very avid Fiji water drinker. No other water can compare. If was to be honored with this oppurtunity, you could always find me with a Fiji water in hand. Thanks for your time. You may email me at: dontworriboutmee@yahoo.com Hello! I’m Sunnie.

Wed, 26 Aug 2009 17:42:39 +0000 http://blog.fijigreen.com/?p=371#comment-950 Some people find stress unbearable as it hinders their ability to accomplish their work. I, on the other hand, crave the stress and high intensity of the fashion world and use it as a tool to push me to perform well. Especially in fashion, things are done in a very particular way and I settle for nothing less than the best. Unfortunately I have yet to find an opportunity in my current situation as a student in a community college in Northern Virginia, especially fitting to my desire to work in the fashion industry. However, my background in retail has served me well particularly working at Kate Spade. My main duty as a sales associate was to be welcoming to customers and provide outstanding customer service to guests individually. Combined with my vast knowledge of the brand and product I was able to turn over great sales and personal relationships with customers who frequented the store. If allowed to work with Fiji Water at the 2009 Mercedes- Benz Fashion Week, I can promise a driven and persistent work ethic. In addition, I can guarantee a positive attitude and warm personality capable of engaging with people about how Fiji Water is essential for health and mind in such a fast-paced environment.
