  • 4. How busy were you on a daily basis?

    • Sometimes we would be standing around as there were too many interns then suddenly when it hits close to 8pm ( we start at 9 every day) there would be work and we'd have to stay til late. i had to stay til 3:30am and 5:30am in the lead up to fashion week. horrible
