London Showroom for Preen by Thornton Bregazzi Pre-Fall 19 collection is coming!!! I was really excited and looking forward to it. Although it’s not my first time doing it as last month I joined their Spring/Summer 19 showroom. But this time would be a little bit different than before since they have different guests. The last showroom I was in, the guests were family, friends, and VIP customer but now it would be some buyer’s from big high-end fashion retail such as MatchesFashion, Net-A-Porter, Harvey Nichols and Selfridges.
Moreover, if their last showroom only showcases their main line; Preen by Thronton Bregazzi, this showroom will showcase three line of their brand; Preen by Thornton Bregazzi, Preen line and Preen Homeware. Because of that, they booked a two floors huge building next to oxford circus station which much more bigger than the last one which only has one floor. They use the first floor for their main line, which is Preen by Thornton Bregazzi and Preen Homeware and the second floor for their second line, Preen Line.
Other than me there are another five interns that also help with the showroom and preparation, they are from various departments, two people from main line team, one from sales team and the other two from preen line team. This moment is really good for us to know each other and make new friends as well as share different experiences since all of us are from different university and city. In addition to that, through this experience I also developed my teamwork skill as all of us including sales team were working together to set up the best looking showroom as possible for Preen by Thornton Bregazzi Pre-Fall 19 collection.
Because this time the showroom has bigger building and more stuff to showcase there are a lot more things to prepare. We started setting up the building from 12 pm and have not finished yet until 8pm. However, as it’s not many left to do, we continue again the next day from 7 .30 am in the morning and ready for the buyers at 9 am.
During the whole preparation process there are a lot of things happened, from we forgot to pack a few things so some interns need to go to the store to buy it until the lighting that fell onto our manager’s head so she need to rest and go to the doctor afterwards. Preparing the event is really not easy there are a lot of hard works into it. Everybody was rushing, as everything needs to be done as quickly as possible. I think team works is the main key in this; it’s hard to believe that anyone will ever be able to prepare any event alone.
Generally, it was a long day and really tiring, however after see 95% of how the showroom looks like we are really satisfied and could not wait for the show room.
