We then designed a childrenswear line based on the research of the host company. At the end of the semester, we invited all the host companies for a presentation showing each student&#8217;s designed collection. It was an wonderful opportunity because we got a chance to learn about a childrenswear company by behind-the-scenes look as well as the chance to get a real life experience designing based on a company&#8217;s aesthetic.<\/p>\n<p>I did my practicum at Pastourelle, which is a leading manufacturer of girls&#8217; clothing, mostly little girl dresses. Check out their cute website!\u00a0http:\/\/www.pastourellekids.com\/<\/p>\n<p>They have three brands: Pippa and Julie, Marmellata and a license under Laura Ashley London. They sell clothes at many different stores across a few markets &#8211; everything they sell is well-made and designed. In the first semester of childrenswear, our professor bought us to visit their office and I loved it. Stepping into the office is a little like stepping into a human sized dollhouse. Their showrooms were so beautiful and I wanted to wear nearly all the dresses that I saw on the racks! Besides their clothes, I just loved the people there &#8211; they are some of the nicest people I have met in the industry!<br \/>\nI learned a lot from doing practicum there and over winter break, they asked me to work for them one day a week to further gain some real life experience. So besides my internship at another company (which I will soon post about), I am also working at Pastourelle, which I enjoy very much &#8211; you can see why from the pictures below how amazing this place is.<\/p>\n\n\t\t<style>\n\t\t\t#gallery-1 {\n\t\t\t\tmargin: auto;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t#gallery-1 .gallery-item {\n\t\t\t\tfloat: left;\n\t\t\t\tmargin-top: 10px;\n\t\t\t\ttext-align: center;\n\t\t\t\twidth: 33%;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t#gallery-1 img {\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t#gallery-1 .gallery-caption {\n\t\t\t\tmargin-left: 0;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t\/* see gallery_shortcode() in wp-includes\/media.php *\/\n\t\t<\/style>\n\t\t<div id='gallery-1' class='gallery galleryid-2328 gallery-columns-3 gallery-size-thumbnail'><dl class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<dt class='gallery-icon portrait'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/blog.fitnyc.edu\/futureoffashion\/2014\/03\/18\/a-childrenswear-company\/photo-11-3\/'><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"100\" height=\"100\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.fitnyc.edu\/futureoffashion\/files\/2014\/03\/photo-111-100x100.jpg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\" alt=\"\" aria-describedby=\"gallery-1-2341\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/dt>\n\t\t\t\t<dd class='wp-caption-text gallery-caption' id='gallery-1-2341'>\n\t\t\t\tEntrance to the company\n\t\t\t\t<\/dd><\/dl><dl class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<dt class='gallery-icon portrait'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/blog.fitnyc.edu\/futureoffashion\/2014\/03\/18\/a-childrenswear-company\/photo-4-2\/'><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"100\" height=\"100\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.fitnyc.edu\/futureoffashion\/files\/2014\/03\/photo-41-100x100.jpg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\" alt=\"\" aria-describedby=\"gallery-1-2332\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/dt>\n\t\t\t\t<dd class='wp-caption-text gallery-caption' id='gallery-1-2332'>\n\t\t\t\tA little beautiful birdcage\n\t\t\t\t<\/dd><\/dl><dl class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<dt class='gallery-icon portrait'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/blog.fitnyc.edu\/futureoffashion\/2014\/03\/18\/a-childrenswear-company\/photo-3-4\/'><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"100\" height=\"100\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.fitnyc.edu\/futureoffashion\/files\/2014\/03\/photo-33-100x100.jpg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\" alt=\"\" aria-describedby=\"gallery-1-2331\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/dt>\n\t\t\t\t<dd class='wp-caption-text gallery-caption' id='gallery-1-2331'>\n\t\t\t\tSuch marionnettes\n\t\t\t\t<\/dd><\/dl><br style=\"clear: both\" \/><dl class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<dt class='gallery-icon portrait'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/blog.fitnyc.edu\/futureoffashion\/2014\/03\/18\/a-childrenswear-company\/photo-5-3\/'><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"100\" height=\"100\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.fitnyc.edu\/futureoffashion\/files\/2014\/03\/photo-52-100x100.jpg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\" alt=\"\" aria-describedby=\"gallery-1-2333\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/dt>\n\t\t\t\t<dd class='wp-caption-text gallery-caption' id='gallery-1-2333'>\n\t\t\t\tCeiling of the showroom &#8211; i love these beautiful parasols\n\t\t\t\t<\/dd><\/dl><dl class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<dt class='gallery-icon portrait'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/blog.fitnyc.edu\/futureoffashion\/2014\/03\/18\/a-childrenswear-company\/photo-8\/'><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"100\" height=\"100\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.fitnyc.edu\/futureoffashion\/files\/2014\/03\/photo-8-100x100.jpg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\" alt=\"\" aria-describedby=\"gallery-1-2334\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/dt>\n\t\t\t\t<dd class='wp-caption-text gallery-caption' id='gallery-1-2334'>\n\t\t\t\tThis is what Pastourelle is!
