How she became Balenciaga MERCHANDISER from a PR internship-the fine line between BUYER/MERCHANDISER

#51 Emily works as Merchandising Assistant at Balenciaga. She studied at FIT in New York and interned every year when she was in school. She started with a PR internship at Carolina Herrera. When a merchandising internship opened at Carolina Herrera, she applied but got turned down as they were looking for someone with more experience in merchandising. She then got a merchandising internship at a sportswear company and after some months, finally got back at Carolina Herrera to intern in merchandising. She then went to Saint Laurent and then landed at Balenciaga as buying intern before becoming merchandising assistant. She’s just 22 but already has lots of experience in the industry and we chat about many interesting things such as:- how to balance internships during college- why a pr internship is the best way to get your foot in the fashion industry- the different versions of merchandising and how this role is different from a company to the other but also if you're working in the headquarter or in another region. - the difference between the role of the buyer and merchandiser - how she’s working from home today during the pandemic and do they buy from the desk- how to network in fashion- how you can learn more about fashion even if you didn't go to fashion schoolEnjoy it!
