1: Mentorship

As of right now, I have a total of 34 hours completed (not including the ten hours I did this summer) and my mentorship/internship with David Meister will soon be ending. I'm incredibly happy with what I've completed so far. I've had the opportunity to work with plenty of incredible people that I wouldn't have known otherwise and for that, I am grateful. Although this experience is in a sense, supposed to be seen as work, I consider this just doing something I love. It seems with every time I go in, I'm trusted more and more. Who else would trust an eighteen-year-old high school student with gowns that costs more than my closet individually?

Anyway, here's a really recent photo of some of the newest gowns added to the David Meister collection. These are dresses that are going to be used for celebrities for upcoming events. This is also the same rack that once held dresses that were worn to the Oscars just a few months ago. At this current moment, I'm not sure where these dresses are going to be worn to, but I'm certain I'll be told soon.

Now this photo is just about 1/4 of the binders that hold designs. This is typically my "usual". The task I'm asked to do most often is look through, file, and just organize these binders in a specific order. These binders contain cost sheets. Cost sheets are sheets in which show the design and how much the design is worth and how much it'll cost to put together. Cost sheets are important because when someone needs to look back at a design/sketch or details that went into making it, they look at the cost sheets. They're put in alphabetical and numerical order.Whenever one cost sheet is out of place, I'm typically to blame.
