I'm was ecstatic when I saw that the Lingerie Post Blog had featured some of the new What Katie Did collection after I emailed them last week during my press work experience. I had done my first ever press release for the company so it was nice to know that it did the job so to speak. I was feeling slightly overwhealmed of taking the role in Head Office as Press officer as Clare who works in the London Boutique who currently deals with all the press has done fantasically well as of late with features in Look, Grazia and VOGUE!!! Most recently there Maitresse bullet bra can be just seen on British model Rosie Huntington-Whiteley in September's Esquire september issue magazine!!! Everday when i log onto the email there are hundreds of emails all from prestigious magazines, stylists and fashion assistants.... I see there name and i'm like wow I've heard of them they work for Elle they work for Vogue, it's simply amazing!!- i know i maybe seem slightly over excited but this is my first step into the crazy world of Fashion!
