week one.
House of Sunny is a up and coming women's tailoring label. The designer Sunny was trained on Savile Row and he has produced his own label, using the skills he has learnt to produce a modern take on women's tailoring making it fresh and exciting.
On my first day I was given the task to edit their logo on photoshop. This took along time as i had to draw triangle in each letter and then cut them out. I was glad i was given a creative task to do though and i like the way it has turned out.
I have also been working on expanding their social media, updating contacts on their books. also reaching out to boutiques and shops showing an interest and making them aware of House and Sunny. House of Sunny has completed their collection and is now in the process of trying to get their garments into shops. So its important that people notice who they are and that they be seen. Social media is a great way of doing this.
week two.
Starting my second week at House of Sunny i felt more relaxed and comfortable in the work environment. One of the tasks i was asked to complete this week, was to simplify their current logo. I did this using Photoshop I played around with the composition and size of the lettering.
I also carried on updating their contact database, this time i was adding celebrity agents and bloggers to their books. This did become a little tedious at times, but i did enjoy looking at the different blogs.
week three.
At the start of the week i was given the task of cutting out images on Photoshop to then layer on a banner for the webpage. I struggled with this, i have always thought that i was fairly good on Photoshop but i clearly still have a lot to learn on it. To help me learn how to cut out around the hair on the model i looked on YouTube watching tutorials i eventually started to understand how to do it. Two previous interns who had worked for House of Sunny came back to work for one day this week. They were both uni students one was american she studied fashion, and the other one studied graphics. When i saw some of the images i had cut out for the website being redone by the one who does graphics i felt a little disappointed, but i have to think she will be using Photoshop all the time within her work. They were both very good at the work they were doing, this made me think that i need to step up my game. As there is so much competition in this industry.
week four.
This was my last week working at House of Sunny, i was quite sad to be leaving as i have enjoyed my time working for the company also the people i was working for/with were all lovely. During this week I was given a few jobs to do one of them was constructing an email for hotels, offering them a bespoke service for their customers. I had to write this letter in the style of House of Sunny, making sure i made the objective of the email clear and securing a meeting. I also had to create a brief email for the official writer at House of Sunny, so she knew what exactly Sunny wanted to be included within her email.
Another job i was given was to contact suppliers around London to see if they had two way zips. This sounds easy enough but no where seemed to do them, i did eventually managed to find somewhere though.
The most tedious job i had to carry out this week was looking for free events in London for Sunny to attend. I just couldn't seem to find any appropriate events for him to socialize at. I tried many different searches, i felt a bit silly how i couldn't find anything but i just reckon there were no fashion events on specially a month after fashion week.
My favorite part of working at House of Sunny was being in a fashion environment, getting to be creative occasionally. Talking about design, style being asked my own opinion about certain looks. I do wish i could of helped with the making as i feel that is an area i need to improve on. However i have been asked to go and help them with their next photo shoot, which i am extremely excited about doing.
