This past weekend I had an amazing opportunity to intern at Americas Mart in Atlanta. I interned with the Amy J. Hill Showroom for the April Market. Being from Atlanta, you would think I would have worked at the Atlanta Mart before. NOPE.... this was my first time. All I can say is I would do it again in a heart beat.
The Amy J. Hill showroom carried a total of nine brands of clothing and accessories
Sanctuary
modern vintage calssics

I had never heard of most of these stunning brands until this internship (now I love them). They all varied in pricing and styles. Walking in, I had no idea what to expect, but the showroom representatives were very welcoming (thank god). This experience was beyond helpful to me, as I seek to begin my future career. It really gave me the hands on experience any college student in my shoes is looking for in the fashion industry.
All clothing photos featured in this post were styled by me. Sadly, I could not get pictures of each brand because of the high volume of buyers coming in and out of the showroom. UGH. I did manage to style some merchandise and snap a few pics to show off! All of the brands had their Fall 2016 line samples on display.
If you are ever offered an opportunity like mine, TAKE IT! I cannot stress this enough. Make connections, learn as much as possible, style different wardrobes... do everything you can to take advantage of the opportunity given to you. Being able to personally experience what goes on behind the scenes has introduced me to the variety of different careers out there. Some I am very passionate about, while others I'd rather eat glass than do. Working this past week has boosted my confidence within the fashion industry tremendously.
Feel free to contact me about any question or comments about my experience!
