This morning I hung all the one off pieces on racks with the Camilla hangers in order by their stories. I used the the look book to help me organize them into the stories. The task of putting them in order took a long time because there were about 100 or so garments that had to be organized and put on hangers. The reason they needed to be on display today was because we had the famous Christine Anu come in to pick one off pieces for her wedding. Christine is a famous Australian pop singer/actress. She was in RENT, Moulin Rouge, The Matrix Reloaded, and Judge of Australian Idol. What Christine really wanted was Camilla to design a dress specifically for her, but to source and assemble for just one garment instead of several garments of the same type would be very pricey, more than $10,000. So what Britt and I did was show Christine all the pieces and had Hannah model some of them. From there Christine chose some pieces and decided that she wanted them altered in a certain way to put her own twist on them. So, overall Christine chose garments for her bridesmaids and herself since they are all one size. Britt and I took down notes as far as all the changes that she wanted and will have them changed to Christine's liking. The meeting lasted 3 hours, which was a big chunk of my day. Then after Christine left I went with Deva "International Sales" to show garments to Shawni a lady who sells on her own at trunkshows or to boutiques in Lebanon. Shawni went through the garments that we had in stock and chose what she liked. Then Deva and I went through and put all the ones that Shawni chose and tried to organize them by color to give Shawni a better idea of what she picked. Since Shawni will be taking all these pieces together and displaying them on a rack at trunk shows there should be some kind of theme throughout her rack. We organized them by color and style to make it more aesthetically pleasing. Shawni ended up purchasing 80 garments. So it was a good day for Deva and I.
