why are we not talking about fashion assistants?

In this week's episode, Meret is discussing the problematic job of a fashion assistant. Wait - problematic? - yes, assisting is more than attending fancy celebrity photoshoots and going shopping. But what exactly is a fashion assistant, how do you become one and why is this position ironically so necessary and important but on the other hand hardly paid and pushing people towards burnout and depression? Furthermore, Meret is reading a few examples of crazy experiences other assistants shared on Twitter and the Instagram account @fashionassistants. Spoiler alert: apparently crying closets for interns are a thing and so is lightning a cigarette for the head stylist - but see, or rather, hear it for yourself and please share your thoughts on how to protect young talents in the fashion industry.

just girlboss through it

This week's episode is an intro to everything that is coming up at "what a fashion girly in tech can tell you so far" and it is literally me telling you everything that I did so far so you know who and what you are dealing with. I worked in various positions in the fashion industry e.g. styling, personal shopping and creative consultant and now founded my start-up RENTR. What it does and when it will launch, will be revealed in the episode. I am talking about the mental health aspect of being an independent girlboss, which is often more glamorized as it probably should be and also my motives for stepping back with styling for now and approaching the tech world.
