Tuesday & Wednesday

Sorry for late the late post for Tuesday..............Tuesday I worked on sorting out line sheets that consisted of sample garments codes and descriptions for our 2 U.S. agents. What I was doing was seeing what samples each agent had and what samples they needed. The line sheets that they sent us didn't have all the information on them, so I had to correct them so it was easier to decipher what they need or what they have. An example would be: Navi-short hooded kaftan. When the line sheet should have the code, type of embellishment, fabric type, and the discount price. Once I added all the details I then decided what samples needed to be shipped to each agent. What the agents do is take our look books, press kits, press banners, and samples and display the collection at show rooms to potential boutiques or stores that would like to sell the Camilla label. After sorting it all out I sent the samples that were needed to each agent. Once, I did that for international sales I helped national sales by entering more details of the babylon collection into the POS system retail express.

Wednesday was a very stressful busy morning. As soon as I got in I was asked to put together a projection report with Bec (national sales) that would be presented to Camilla at 11am. In 2 hours we were to have all the orders from every national stockists in Australia broken down by state, boutique, and the number of garments that each store ordered by style code. Very time consuming, and it had to be very accurate. The report also included the Camilla stores that we own in Australia. From there Camilla decided what styles of what garment she would need more of. From there she would work with Britt and the manufacturers in producing more of those garments. She also used the report to decide what styles where going to be sent to each Camilla store and the amount of each style that should be stocked at those stores. After finishing the report I did research on vintage pieces from another designer that Camilla looks to for inspiration. I saved several images of the designers vintages pieces to the S drive in the inspirations folder for manufacturing and design. After researching I figure out what garments we have at the warehouse and what garments we need from out manufacturers for an upcoming photo shoot for a new look book/style guide.
