Wonderland Week 1

Okay so it's coming up to a week since I started my very first internship, the original plan was the blog daily but I'm actually surprised myself how tired I've been this week, after a month of working at Next 10am starts are a god send but then I guess the week or two off I had before I came back to London made me completely lazy and the shock of having to cook and clean for myself hasn't helped. 
Anyway, so last Wednesday I started my first ever internship at Wonderland magazine, after weeks of stressing that I wouldn't find a placement I finally got one doing what I wanted. I'm basically assisting the online editor Danielle and the editor Jack, so basically transcribing, writing blog posts and looking after social media etc. I've always wanted to work at a magazine so I was super excited but also completely shitting it to start. I have never interned before and don't know anything about the running of an independent fashion magazine so I was both nervy and excited about what I'd learn. 
My first day I was eased in with writing just a few pieces for the website, I've done this most days, mostly reviews from LC:M and Milan Mens Week, I've also done some research and tweeting. I assume when I've been there longer I will be trusted with more but everyone is so lovely and its really chilled. Its nothing like people pre conceptions of fashion magazines from things like the Devil Wears Prada, everybody eats, no ones in heels and no one judges you for wearing a Primark coat (#guilty) its all very relaxed which is good and its such a small team thats its so much easier to get to know people and create better contacts. Theres another intern Gillian whos Irish and shes really nice as well. 
I've only seen the editor in cheif when he comes up to go over the progress of the magazine and the flat plan, I love having a nose at all the stuff that comes in like editorials etc, listening to the conversations that fly about also adds to the entertainment. 
We're working on the next issue atm which features guest editor Emma Watson and is released on the 7th Feb, being sent to the printers on Monday/Tuesday so its all a bit hectic at the moment as the last bits of work comes in and trying to decide on a cover is proving difficult! 
Today I had much more to do which was good I felt busy all day, I transcribed an interview Jack did with Ryan Lo earlier today which took a while, transcribing a quitely spoken Chinese guy is harder than you'd think! I've also been shown how to post on the website as before I was just emailing my posts to Danielle so now I can just put them straight up and I've also been asked to assist Danielle on a Chanel shoot tomorrow!!! Im super excited to say the least but its an early start so I best get to bed and will post more updates daily/weekly/when I can find the energy ahhaha.

Nike RT: Riccardo Tisci and Nike collaboration confirmed

Over the past few seasons Riccardo Tisci’s most recognisable pieces have been his printed t shirts and sweats, cult pieces which merge high fashion with sporty streetwear. So it only makes sense that Tisci would collaborate with one of the biggest sportswear brands in the world.  The rumours have been flying around of a collab between the two since WWD.com posted about it earlier today, the news is expected to be confirmed later today. It is thought the collection would have a strong focus on footwear.

Not sure how Tiscis BFF Kanye West will take this blow after his infamous fall out with Nike after they denied West any royalties for the sales of Air Yeezys and Air Yeezy II’s after which he signed a deal with rival brand Adidas.

Inevitably Givenchy’s pieces become one of the most coveted items each season so its likely that if this collab goes ahead to same will happen when it hits the shelf’s.

Miu Miu's New Muses

Our hearts were all a flutter when we first laid our eyes on the new Miu Miu campaign featuring actress and ultimate girl crush Elle Fanning, but apparently that wasn’t enough for Miu Miu as this morning three more portraits were revealed for their Spring Summer 2014 campaign featuring three more of Hollywood’s hottest rising stars.

Elle Fanning has given her older sister a run for her money over recent years; getting her first big break in Sofia Coppola’s Somewhere she then went on to work with J.J. Abrams for sci-fi blockbuster Super 8. 2014 see’s the release of highly anticipated Disney live-action Maleficent in which Fanning plays Princess Aurora alongside a terrifying Angelina Jolie as the infamous villain.

Also featuring in the campaign is Elizabeth Olsen, who in the past has always been known as the younger sister of Ashley and Mary Kate but after a breakout performance in Martha Marcy May Marlene has proved she wont be staying in the twins shadows for long, Bella Heathcote who starred in Dark Shadows alongside Johnny Depp and Helena Bonham Carter and Lupita Nyong’o who got her big screen debut in Steve McQueens 12 Years a Slave which is already looking to cause waves at this years Academy Awards, not bad huh.

Shot in New York by Inez and Vinoodh the campaign features each actress in looks from Miu Mius Spring/Summer 2014 collection. Poised perfectly in sets as distinctive as the actresses, the shades of blue, red and violet compliment the prints and materials to create a truly striking campaign that flirts with sexual femininity, classic demure pieces with an edge. 

Thick wool stockings are in rich tones of red and yellow and paired with ruby red Mary Janes or lace-up knee-highs. In one shot we see Bella looking perfectly demure in a good girl coat then the next Lupita works a bad girl bustier dripping with jewels, each effortlessly translating the new spirit of the Miu Miu woman.
