The aftermath of New York fashion week doesn't really exist. The offices have been slow for about 3 weeks for many, but not myself. Most of the editors are out of town visiting Milan, Paris and London for their array of fashion shows, so there really isn't many sample traffic within the offices and closet. This is also the time when a lot of assistants take short vacations pretty much because its the only opportunity they get away from the higher executives all year.
My task while the editors were away was to create "look books" of ALL the shows. We started this after New York fashion week ended because it was so busy with everything happening centered around the actual office, so it's been very hectic. I have to find every show of every city that has occurred, transfer the pictures into a computer file and rename them all according to what look they were on the runway. For instance, if I were to label the third look that came down the runway of Yigal's show as the fourth this could cause detrimental problems when the editors are ordering particular styles for photoshoots and other editorial pieces. So although this seems tedious and never ending, its VERY important to remain detail oriented and not lose concentration.
After all of the looks were gathered into folders on the computer and renamed according to their style numbers, they have to be printed in a specific style that fits the editor's visual needs. After they are printed (which takes FOREVER) everything gets sleeved to protect the photos and organized alphabetically according to location. Everything is then labeled and organized on the shelves. This process is repeated for each individual editor. I was in charge of doing these for CW and NG.
