Early this week, the Nicole Miller Philadelphia interns and Mary Dougherty ventured up to NYC for a fun day of fashion! We first arrived at Mary's and then headed up to the city. Our first stop was the retail location in Soho. We were welcomed by the manager, Anna, and sales staff of the store and took a look around. It was really cool to see the same styles being merchandised differently and to soak up the cool and luxurious atmosphere. We then stopped for a quick bite to eat followed by some amazing cupcakes from Baked by Melissa. Next, we made our way over to the showroom where all of the magic happens. Nicole Miller is one of the last companies today that still features an in house designer, pattern makers and full production team. As we roamed the creative halls and offices, Mary introduced us to everyone that plays a vital role in the creation of such gorgeous garments, including Nicole Miller herself! Nicole was kind enough to chat with us and pose for a few pictures before we headed out. Our final stop was the Intermezzo market show. Here, we visited the Nicole Miller booth where the sales representatives of the company sell to retail locations that are interested in carrying the lines. The Nicole Miller Philadelphia buying team always makes a trip up to view the upcoming deliveries and put in their orders. After exploring and experiencing many different aspects of Intermezzo, we decided to call it a day and head back to Philly. We are so thankful and excited that we were presented with such an amazing opportunity to experience Nicole Miller New York City with such a successful mentor. As many of us begin to wrap up our summer internships, we reflect on the great fun, friends and fashion at Nicole Miller!
