Week 3




Thursday September 15, 2011 was my first official day as an intern at Urban Zen. I chose to work retail for the beginning and can say that I have never been so inspired design wise. My first assignment was to play dress-up. I tried on all the staples and the entire new collection, which had only been on the floor a few days. I had such enjoyment and realized that soon I too could be designing for such a brand.

Donna Karan became head designer of Anne Klein at the age of 25, so she has entrusted the design of her newest line, Urban Zen, to 23 year-old Parson’s graduate Bessey Efraim. Not only is Efraim’s drapery impeccable she truly uses inspirations to innovate. This collection is based on an artist that utilizes curves, thus all the seams wrap around the limbs, they spiral.
