Be on the lookout for Smythe's navy jacket in March's Harper's Bazaar! It's very minimal and very chic :)

Interning at The Globe!
You always hear about The Globe Showroom through buyers, PR reps, and designers. But what really goes on behind our pristine glass walls? No one knows better than the interns at the Globe! We have the ultimate behind-the-scenes access of what it takes to run a showroom in a professional yet fun manner. I, Bianca Gracie, along with Jose Huayta, Courtney Bickel, and Mayran Ben-Simon have been interning here for 2 months so far, and it is truly a blast! From merchandising various collections, to branding a designer, to pitching a collection to a client, we learn and experience the ins & outs of a fashion showroom. We have the rare opportunity to be surrounded by major buyers from established department stores & boutiques all around the world (even if we're just sneaking a peak of an appointment behind a clothing rack!). We also learn about the responsibilites that comes with wholesale, through our fabulously dressed & very sweet sales reps!
The fashion industry is known to be cut-throat & crazy at times. But don't worry, our cat claws will not be making an appearance! Interning alongside eachother at the Globe has cemented friendships that I believe will be long-lasting. Through meeting and speaking with our designers, attending fashion week events together, and just sharing a conversation over lunch, us interns have come to learn that we share many of the same interests!
Despite suffering through not-so-glamourous burns from the steamer; merchandising, re-merchandising, & merchandising a single collection within a few hours; making runs for coconut water & fedex packages, or getting trapped within a sea of tangled hangers, being a Globe intern is truly a great fashion experience that we're all grateful for! I have personally learned more than I could have imagined so far, & I'm positive the other interns can say the same. I can't wait to see what the next few months has in store for us!

The Globe Showroom at NY Fall/Winter '11 Fashion Week!
We ladies at The Globe enjoyed ourselves during New York's fashion week this season, attending multiple shows and presentations put on by our designers! Nicholas K was a great hit as the opening show for Mercedes-Benz fashion week at Lincoln Center, giving the crowd an innovative mix of military and a modern spin on grunge. Jonathan Simkhai & Nonoo followed with stunning presentations, receiving high praises from magazine editors and local fashionistas alike! Can't wait for next fashion week!
