Week Three:<\/strong><\/p>\nThis week during my internship I have really focussed on helping Sophie with cutting, it\u2019s such a great opportunity to be a part of sampling as I learn so much about the process. I was also fortunate to be involved with the beauty products this week they are all so special as you probably would not find these anywhere else in New Zealand and I got to smell some incredible perfume!! Later in the week I joined Amita on a little round trip to all the stores and delivered new stock, which was amazing as I got to explore all the Auckland stores and they are all so exquisitely presented. Another week has past and I am continuing to learn how this successful brand operates.<\/p>\n
\u00a0<\/p>\n
Week Four:<\/strong><\/p>\nNow that I\u2019m half way through my internship I thought I would do a learning reflection on what knowledge I have gained during my four weeks so far. My time at WORLD has been incredible; I have learned so many skills that only an opportunity like this can provide. My colleague Sophie has shown me the ropes of fabric sample-cutting and how she deals with the special orders, (she even trusted me to cut out a special order) this has definitely been one of my most valuable lessons. Working with Amita the production coordinator, has thought me how her side of the workroom operates, with re-stocking stores, allocating garments, stocktake and how WORLD beauty operates. Overall my four weeks have been amazing! The only negative thing I have to say is that time is going too fast!!<\/p>\n
\u00a0<\/p>\n
Week Five:<\/strong><\/p>\nAnd just like that, another week has gone! In my fifth week I have been involved with re-stocking stores; making deliveries to the stores in Newmarket, Britomart and Ponsonby. It\u2019s interesting to see how that side of the brand works; it must be precise and you can\u2019t miss anything. Meeting most of the staff that work in the Auckland stores has been great, you really get to know the whole WORLD family. It\u2019s amazing to see everyone working so close with each other, whether you work in the workroom or in retail! Onto the sixth week!<\/p>\n
\u00a0<\/p>\n
Week Six:<\/strong><\/p>\nAnd another week has past\u2026it is now my second to last week! I got to do a variety of different jobs this week. I did most of the deliveries to the Auckland stores, where I learned how to transfer stock to different stores and unpacked a few unique beauty products. I then helped with picking a few garments for stylists, and dropped some garments off at Remix magazine. I also went with Benny, one of the Directors at WORLD, to look at some fabric for the next season which was very exciting and interesting!<\/p>\n
\u00a0<\/p>\n
Final Week:<\/strong><\/p>\nMy last week at WORLD\u2026or is it?! Time went so incredibly fast! I have had the best time at WORLD, it has been an amazing 8 weeks! I have learnt so much about WORLD and about the fashion industry. And best of all, I have met some incredible kind people! Working with WORLD has made me appreciate New Zealand design so much more, and how important it is to make good really good quality garments, and to try to keep the making onshore to keep business alive. The big news is that WORLD has offered me employment as a Workroom Assistant and their Retail Operator! I\u2019m so exited to start this new role. I couldn\u2019t thank the Newmarket Business Association enough for this amazing experience! I am so very grateful.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
