My high school sets aside three weeks after the Winter Holiday as an Interim Term when the seniors participate in a Career Development program, taking on various internships. I along with eighteen classmates have traveled from Houston, TX to experience the working life in NYC. With all of us working across the city, I come home from work everyday to hear about everyone’s days interning at PR companies, for clothing designers, at CBS, Feed, interior designers and law firms.
A huge fan of Coren’s dresses, I pursued her for the internship not knowing what to expect. Besides the basic information (colors and styles of dresses), I knew nothing about the production and sale of the dresses or what happens in between. This wasn’t a problem. Alex and Sarah welcomed me in, gave me the full tour and guided me as I discovered the different types of fabrics, created labels from order sheets and ran errands.
In just a few days I have seen where fabric is stored and cut, swatches are picked up, cut outs are dropped off, and dresses are sewn.
I have witnessed a bride-to-be try on and fall in love with a dress—the Seraphina with a dark sage sash, which is something I have never seen as none of my friends are getting married quite yet. It was a special experience to see her face light up as she tried on the dress she could see herself walking down the aisle in. I have no doubt by the end of the week I will have my future wedding gown picked out as well as those for my bridal party (all Coren Moore dresses of course), and all I will need is a fiancé!
