Day 3- 

We did the same thing again really. Got the clothes ready while the models got hair and makeup done which I wish was getting done. Then all day was spent doing photoshoots again. Quick caterlogue type shots. The models make it looks very easy and pretty. 

The new shoes and accessories to be shot.

The CLOTHES!

The shoes and accessories!

Ive realised that working in this section of the industry, ie the caterlogue type shots, is very restricting for stylists because theres rules and things arent allowed to be over the clothes etc, I think I'd rather work where I can do what I like and style to the max have a lot more freedom. 

There seems to be alot of repetition which at times can be boring as there is not an awful lot for me do, so i tend to help out etc but also just watch and take it all in.

Day 2- 
I came in nice and early again.. :/ I do not enjoy being up at 7.
Went to the studio and steamed the clothes ready for the next shoots. Which makes me very hot.. and I dont think Im best steamer but Im getting there.
Theres new clothes coming in all the time, so theres some clothes needed to be reshot running over from yesterday.. basically the clothes go in a big circle, they get brought in from the warehouse to the sample coordinators aka Jen and Hannah, who sort them out with new and reshoots, and then get put in order to which to be shot etc. The new clothes get detail shots and catwalked, and the reshoots dont need details but get catwalked, theres lots of walking back and forth from the photography area to the catwalk. Exercise lovey!

The stylists do the same thing everyday really.. because there are so many clothes, and things are always new on the site. Its a nice chilled out environment everyones lovely.. and good friends, so its a laugh which is nice. No seriousness. 


There are also concept shoots done, where the stylists can go wild and create looks that will simply be recreated on the inhouse photoshoots. The inhouse photos are really simple and only one accessory is allowed so that all the focus is on the clothes. Whereas the concept shoots are editiorials and give inspiration for the looks, so everyone knows the concept. I really want to be able to go onto one of those but so far none are being done this week :/

The first shoot. Aviator jackets.

The second photoshoot - Fur jackets

But in the afternoon we did do an editorial random photoshoot. There is a film set just outside the building being made a big blockbuster, 'Captian America' so we have all been perving and spying out the window! So the set is an old 1940's inspired downtown NY. Looks amazing. So we sneaked on set and took photos of the model is aviator jackets, and fur coats..made it looks 1940's. This was fun and we could style as we pleased. I felt very special with everyone stopping and taking pictures.

Boohoo- Work experience

Day 1 - Arrived at the Boohoo headquaters.

Jaq the main stylist showed me around.

Awsome place in a nice old warehouse in Manchester. In the studio there are three photo studios where th model shots are taken. There are also small sort of light boxes for the handbags and jewelery to be taken. 

There is a catwalk studio where the models walk the runway after certain shots the show the garments properly. Which I was tempted to walk up and down and strutt.

There is a lovely wardrobe area.. with lots of lovely shoes and clothes.

 The clothes are brought in from the warehouse to shoot, so theres new stuff everyday and about 50 garments are shot each day with the company getting bigger and bigger, which is why there are two models used pretty much everyday now!

So the new stuff is shot, and then sent back to the warehouse. Some clothes need to be reshot if the editors or the stylists dont think the photo works, or if the clothes need updating from seasons eg, summer to winter, to make the clothes sell more and be more revelant to the season.

Its all very exciting.. 

So on the first day I basically just watched how everything was done, and got to look at the very skinny pretty models who were all lovely. No divas.
