@parsonsbetchess

it’s not every day that we have a twitter celeb roll through the offices here as an intern. a few weeks back the social media department stumbled across @parsonsbetchess, who also happens to be one of nanette’s interns. the team invited her to our floor so we could have a little chat with her. it was interesting, and exciting. here’s what @parsonsbetchess had to say:

@nicoleloher: i know you’re super protective of your name, but can you give me your year or major?

@parsonsbetchess: bfa junior in fashion design

@nl: alright, now give me a brief synopsis of @parsonsbetchess.

@pb: in the making of three years for wanted to do create the page but i didn’t have enough material or the guts to do it. it’s a behind the scenes look of what it’s like to be a parsons student (good, bad, ugly, the inbetween). the tourists want to come in; it’s so different.

@nl: when did you begin tweeting? was it personal or when you started at parsons?

@pb: i started about 2 months ago. it has been taking off since september.

@nl: when did you start interning here at nanette?

@pb: september.

@nl: what do you like about it?

@pb: i love the environment. there has been a calm, good ora from day one. i feel a  lot less stressed when i’m here. i’ve seen it all; i’ve been through it all. i’m happy to be at a nice place.

@nl: can you tell me where you previously interned and which you like the most?

@pb: milly was a good experience. really great.

@nl: what are your sights set on after you graduate?

@pb: designer

@nl: what about @parsonsbetchess? will it live long?

@pb: maybe, who knows. maybe I’ll pass the baton down to someone who’s younger.

@nl: instagram?

@pb: i started to use instagram a little bit. but i’m kind of bad a taking photos.

@nl: what’s your favorite thing to tweet about?

@pb: the teachers during critiques. they say things like, “oh this look like something i’d wear to feed squirrels upstate.” you can’t make that up – it’s so funny.

i’m an ongoing shit show. i find myself getting into funny things.

@nl: what advice do you have for future interns?

@pb: be yourself. you gotta want this so bad – that’s the bottom line. all the craziness will be worth it if you want to be there.

be sure to follow @parsonsbetchess!

#vintage

when i think about my time at nanette, i think about the most recent months and how eventful (& wonderful!) they have been. i often find myself forgetting about the start, where it all began…

nanette’s show in feb. of 2010 was the first fashion show i had been to (aside from the ones i worked) and it still remains one of my favorite fashion experiences to date.

wwd’s tropical punch

this morning while perusing tumblr, i saw wwd had included nanette in their spring 2013 trend roundup. 

“landscape prints are going strong and, for spring, many of them come in tropical floral motifs.”

 

see more here.

feeling inspired

today i’m feeling a bit inspired after looking at nanette’s art & inspiration board on pinterest. motivational quotes, photos of frida kahlo, and beautiful art are really hitting the spot on this wintery new york day.

thanksgiving with nanette

if there’s one thing i know about nanette, it’s that she loves a good party. by the looks of her instagrams yesterday, it seems to have been an amazing time.
