When all the interns first entered the studio we were all told to start immediately in doing some hand painting onto fabric and Mirjam said she will see which ones are the best and the interns whose work wasn't as good would be put to do something else. This made everyone really nervous and flustered because it made us all feel it was like an interview!!

Needless to say, the fabrics that i painted didn't quite make the cut, so I was found something else to do. Kind of embarrassing, not going to lie.

The print below, I thought was a really good print, but Mirjam didn't like it. This really started to make me re-evaluate if my judgement was good enough, because she is working in the industry, selling hundreds of prints to clients all over the world including Diane Von Furstenberg, Twenty 8 Twelve, Valentino, Tuleh, Sonia Rykiel, and Catherine Malandrino. She clearly has a better eye for what sells and what people want to wear then I do!
