Yes, it’s true, since about two weeks I got myself a new job, the owner of ilovevintage.nl contacted me about it, through my blog. We had lunch in Eindhoven at Bagle&Juice (delicious) at Friday the 12th in Eindhoven and after that we went to the office and I could immediately style a photoshoot. Faranak, the owner, absolutely is the most adorable girl I’ve ever seen, I should have actually taken a picture of her and have posted it here.
The shots I used for this post are all styled by me (just some examples).
Last Friday, I styled another vintage shoot, which was again really great to do. In total, I’m doing these things:
- Styling (Pick out a vintage item that needs to be sold and make it a complete outfit/look, on a model)
- Photography (Still need to be taught how to, but I’ll be doing this in a while)
- Customizing vintage (Vintage which isn’t really nice to be sold yet, which I make more unique and attractive)
- Designing clothes (Personally design and sew dresses, skirts etc.)
Styling is great of course, but the thing I think is the greatest is the fact that my designs are actually going to be sold in the shop! I’ll of course tell you when they’re available.
I still have a job in Designer Outlet Roermond, but when Faranak comes back (she’s on holiday right now), and everything works out OK at ilovevintage, I’ll quit at the outlet center. I will miss my colleages though, but my new fashion job is just definately better. Though, having thousands (literally!) of vintage shoes, purses, belts and pieces of clothing around you isn’t really the best for your wallet, haha.
This is what I wore the day of our appointment by the way:
Dress, scarf: Vintage
Jacket, skirt: H&M
Bag: Friis&Company
Shoes: Unisa
Tights: Hema

mijn comment werd afgekapt om een of andere duistere reden, wat er nog meer in stond:

Hi Renée,
I’ve been reading your blog for quite some time, but haven’t posted a comment yet (I’m one of those lousy lazy readers that love to read all your stuff but never no what to reply). Anyhow, I feel like I can’t pass this one without giving a reply.. ;) Though you’ve heard it a thousand times, you really suit this job. Seriously, I love your outfits and your styling. So good luck on your new job, just know you don’t need it. ;)
28/04/2008, 17:09Elisabeth says:
I meant, you don’t need the luck. (I can easily imagine you do need a job to collect such a collection of shoes. :P)
28/04/2008, 17:11Renée Sturme says:
Thanks guys.
@Elisabeth: Haha, yes indeed! Thanks for commenting ;)
