Monkee Genes

At the beginning of January this year I got the chance to do some work experience at the Monkee Genes Head Office. If you're not familiar with Monkee Genes they are an ethical jean making company that use organic cotton in their styles including jeans and chinos in different colours. 

They participated in the Bread and Butter Trade Show in Berlin last week and I helped them prepare for the event. In preparation for Bread and Butter I helped arrange the stand they used by helping select the ranges and putting them into an appealing order in terms of colours and certain looks. 

I also helped to arrange samples of the jeans and chinos they have to offer for potential clients and prepared a spreadsheet of their clients email addresses so that they were easier to locate. 

Whilst at Monkee Genes I also got the opportunity to do a blog post for them about their AW12 lookbook (behind the scenes) Have a look at it here

I am very grateful for Monkee Genes letting me work there for a few days, all the team were lovely and welcoming! 

They sell their jeans on their website here, aswell as on ASOS and in Topman and Selfridges, as well as many other retailers so go have a look!

Gaga oooh la la

Barneys flagship store on Madison Avenue have turned a whole floor into gaga land - Lady Gaga's Workshop to be precise; selling accessories, make-up, jewellery, apparel, sweet treats and toys. Gaga and her fashion director, Nicola Formichetti created something that definitely defines Gaga's style along with a Christmas twist.

The floor itself is adorned with different brightly coloured geometric shapes. There is a huge statue in the middle of a “popart-esque” Lady Gaga with huge yellow curling nails and she is lying in a bed of glittering shared glass. Around the rest of the floor there is all sorts of things ranging from a huge spider with stick black and yellow legs and a gaga head on the top and a huge red and black GAGA sign.

I didn’t personally buy anything as it’s not my kinda thing but it was definitely worth a visit so go see it if you’re in New York over Christmas!

25 percent of all sales will go toward the recently launched Lady Gaga Born This Way Foundation which is a non-profit charitable organisation that will “lead youth into a braver new society where each individual is accepted and loved as the person they were born to be.”
