Well i only managed to get one post up last night due to being really tiered! Anyway yesterday was sooo good!! I started at my fashion company, where everyday we have to design 3 garments in 2 colours, one trouser one shirt and one coat, for spring/summer 2012. The company its self it called Intrex (http://www.intrex.com.cn/)
it specialises in menswear and it one of the most popular brands in china at the present moment and its similar to all saints in England! It was really interesting and all the staff are really friendly, and seem as one of them didn't have an english name we are now calling him Tom & Jerry. It was good to see how they go about their design process and how they get the designs into the shops
. The manager also told us that, the main designer is from England and is flown over once a month so the company get his input, he's also a lecturer at the london college of fashion and has worked for companies such as Diesel and D&G!! I feel very lucky, and im very much looking forward to meeting him and asking for some tips...!! when we finished work, our boss was kind enough to take me and Caroline into Ningbo, where we went to see the shop, the company owns, i was surprised to hear that here the shops are open till 10pm everyday!!!!! The shop was amazing unfortunately we wasn't allow to take pictures, and I love the clothes they design!! Another thing that surprised me too was that ever since iv arrived here im actually got more money now then what i came out here with originally, due to the fact that most of the tutors here and the people that are helping us pay for everything!!! They are always taking us out for meals and to new places, its very nice of them, but you tend to feel like your taking advantage of their hospitality after a good 4 days of it!! The manager also took us for dinner, which was actually amazing, their just wasnt enough!!!! Finally we got home about 9.30 after being out since 8.30!!! This place is pretty amazing and I cant wait to go to the Fashion Company again although the teaching part still scares the hell out of me!!!!
