Being an intern for Eden Dawn, a multi-talented style editor for the Portland Monthly Magazine, has been nothing less than fabulous. She introduced me to a lot of great people who are well known for their respectable duties in the local fashion industry. Eden has been an inspiration as well as a person full of great knowledge that appeals to my career direction. When she gives advice or critique, its always constructive.
Back in the beginning of October, the Emerging Designer’s competition went underway as 5 unique designers showcased their collections on the runway. Alicia Wood, owner and designer of Ms. Wood’s Kimono Boutique (available currently on Etsy) gained the most votes from the audience and the judges that night.
And then came the photo shoot. I, for the first time, was behind the scenes shooting the editorial spread of the elegant collection of kimonos, wide-sleeved trench coats, and handmade wooden platform shoes and jewelry.
The January fashion spread in the magazine is something I am proud to place in my portfolio, and inspires me to do more. It would be my pleasure to continue the internship even after I’m contractually finished with my hours. It’s been a continuous learning experience with a great, clever woman who is open for my ideas and is easy to get along with.
