Mercedes-Benz Fashion Festival



MBFF 2012: Molly and Polly Swimwear
In my previous blog ‘What Next?’ I talked about working at Mercedes Benz Fashion Week. Well now I am more than half way though, in fact, I only have two shifts left and I could not have wished for a better last 5 days. It has truly been an amazing, eye opening experience. Although to my disappointment, it has only given me more ideas about a career choice than narrowing them down.


In the past 5 days, I have managed guest’s questions regarding a problem prior to the opening show, which lead to the evacuation of the marquee. I have been surrounded by many established and up and coming designers. I have also witnessed enough fashion shows to make almost any girl happy, but most importantly I have met an amazing group of young ambitious people searching for careers in a wide array of fields.

Even though my main aim this week was to narrow down and make a career choice, which I possibly will not do for a while, I am certain, if it is possible to be any more certain than I already was, that fashion is where I want to be. I love everything about it, the clothes, the makeup, the hair, the models, the press and even the guests. It is something I seriously believe I will never grow tired of. The tasks I have been given this week have in on way been glamorous or ‘fashionable’ but I have enjoyed every second of it. I would almost rather do this every day than go back to work or even university.

I have no interest in managing events but there are so many jobs and fields I never knew about that appeal to me that I would love to experience. I didn’t have the opportunity to do any back of house work, such as dressing the models and organising the clothes, but that is something I would love to try, not only this, but working with guests and designers would also be a wonderful opportunity that would be great to participate in during future years.
