Employed!

I worked as a temporary sales associate at the American Apparel flagship store in NoHo for the Halloween season, and last Sunday was supposed to be my last day. Luckily, my manager asked me to stay as a regular sales associate! I'm pretty excited, because not all of the temps were asked to stay. I have some previous experience working as a sales associate for the company last year, which I definitely think helped me. I hope to apply to internships with American Apparel in the near future, I like working for the company and I like the general aesthetic of the company as a whole (store design, clothing, etc).

Here's a photo I took of the store's current window display:

I actually had to shoot this for my photography class, the assignment was to go out and shoot store windows. I particularly like this display because it is most definitely inspired by both art history and fashion history. The backdrop and color scheme is Mondrian, of course! And the whole display, clothes styling and everything are inspired by the 1960s, specifically the famous Yves Saint Laurent Autumn 1965 Mondrian Day Dress.

Anyway, totally excited to continue working! Hopefully I'll continue to make connections and advance my career!
