Life as a Fashion intern....

First time We meet our lovely  intern Alka was about a month ago when she pop in at our signature store to drop off her creative portfolio. We were super busy so we didn't really chat much but I'm glad we kept her portfolio. I've watch the movie "Devil wears Prada" so many times and I've read alot of stories about fashion internships turning into nightmares but I'm happy Alka found a warm home with us for the next 5 weeks, looking forward to her learning and growing creatively in the fashion industry... Here's how her 1st week went...

How was your 1st day at BWD?
I was nervous at first but Bianca and her team made me feel so welcomed and apart of their wonderful family. They gave me a run down on how things work and operate at Bianca's boutique. On my first night I attended the KZN Fashion Council Fashion Show. OMG...it was amazing! Just from one night I learn't so much. That was one night I will never forget.:)
