Calvin Klein Jeans

     Interning at Calvin Klein Jeans has been such a great experience for me, I have learned so much, and during this tour I actually learned a lot more that I didn't even realize. When you start an internship no one really sits you down to tell you everything about the company and although I have figured a lot out myself Kristin made a ton of amazing points and facts that I never thought of. As a merch intern I make a lot of proto line sheets for both the Men and Women. Within the proto sheets they are separated into delivery and although I have never realized they say which door on them it makes sense now. I enjoyed hearing the description about the different doors and the importance of each, it helps pull everything together and when people are talking about the different doors at work now I understand it! I have gone to the showroom many times to bring samples down or bring them up to the 15th. They change it a lot and I really liked the colors for women's, they change it so often and it always looks really amazing with the clothes and all the samples and ideas pulled together. Also being in merchandising I don't hear a lot from the designers, Monica really does so much from making a concept to actually designing the garment. Not being a designer I crave that feeling of satisfaction that she must get from seeing her concepts become actual garments.
   Once again even though I intern at CKJ it was really amazing to hear about design and what everyone that I see at my internship actually does. I never really know exactly what everyones title and job is so that was nice to see and hear all about that. It is a great company and I learned a lot and great advice from both Kristin and Monica.

  1. Jessica-It's wonderful that you have had such a great opportunity being an intern at CKJ. It's also good to hear that there are things that you learned about the company and merchandising when we visited the showroom.
