Overview : Industry Experience

During my time as a student at Orana endless doors of opportunities have been opened into the ever changing industry that is fashion.

Undertaking many different aspects of the industry I believe draws so much more than you can ever imagine and you begin to learn so much more about yourself and capabilities as a person.

My journey began with my first volunteering event at MBFW April last year. An amazing experience that saw a week full of challenges and insights into what really goes on behind the scenes of such an event.

From there was just the beginning of understanding the direction I would take over the year and the different avenues - including assisting on the Myer S/S launch, interning at Fleur Wood, assisting on further runway shows backstage to assisting on the print publication Alchemy Mag.

For me the more experience I gained in any element of the industry was another skill or knowledge that I didn't have before. Along the way being surrounded by talented and focused people heightened my desire to succeed in the fashion world driving a force of hard work and determination.

Twenty Fifteen - Fashionably Yours

As another years rolls past this is the time we often look back and reflect on the year that has been and in turn begin to make lists of our new years resolutions.

Twenty fifteen provides a fresh clean slate to delve into a fashionable new year with purchases of old being left in the dark corners of our closet and new ones to become our new favourites.

Organisation is a key to ensuring that one stays on top of these said new years resolutions by documenting in style.

Nothing beats having a fresh new diary to keep track of all your social events this coming year, An Organised Life provides just that with this sleek simplistic 2015 diary.

VS || Twenty Fourteen

Victoria's Secret Fashion Show is an annual event that fashions elite and socialites alike date mark in their calendars with anticipation ahead of all the glitz and glamour that is associated with VS.

The early 90's saw the first of the fashion parades being made to public viewing taking effect just days before Valentine's Day. A clever strategic and promotional campaign that was certain to produce high sales quota through word of mouth as these shows were not yet aired on television.

1999 was the year Victoria's Secret Fashion show graced the television airwaves with the date of the event being moved to the latter end of the year weeks out before Christmas and this is where it has stayed.

High end models from around the world are selected to be one of the prestigious Victoria's Secret Angels. Miranda Kerr, Heidi Klum, Cara Delevingne and Alessandra Ambrossio are just a few of the elite that have been given the opportunity to sport the title of a VS Angel.

There are 20- 40 models elected to be used in the show which also features well known artists to perform during the show as the models strut their stuff down the runway. Rhianna, Ariana Grande, Beyonce, Ed Sheeran and Taylor Swift are just the beginning of the celebrities that have been selected to perform.

The show itself has had a high presence in New York City along with many other states in America over the years. This year saw the angels travel across the seas to London.

Behind OSE

The face behind OSE began from a love of creativity, curiosity and the world that is fashion.

A simple girl from regional Queensland with a desire to delve into the fashion scene further left family and friends behind taking the leap to move to the 'burbs in the fast paced city, that is Sydney. From there, embarking on a new venture in attending Orana Fashion Business College saw many doors opened and opportunities eagerly awaiting.

Attending and assisting at events such as Fashion Week, Myer Spring/Summer Launch and the endless opportunities interning within the print media world, fashion styling, event launches and the networks that I have engaged in will forever be something I am thankful for.

Back in 2012 when I began this site I purely wanted to document my style and deliver insightful posts to anyone and no one in particular that may stumble across my little blog on the wide world of the internet. For me posting isn't about reaching numbers, I simply write for the love of it and hope those that stop by enjoy reading my words.

OSE portrays my style through simplicity with a strong belief in less is more enjoying all aspects of the fashion scene regardless of high level to fast fashion, I believe there is worth in any garment with the right eye to style it.

I hope that you enjoy the ventures past and look forward to sharing ones in the future with you - that is OSE.
