We put out an online ad for an assistant to help us at the Margin Upscale Streetwear Tradeshow in London. We wanted to give a young fashion student a chance to see a side of the fashion industry that you don’t experience at uni…. not really, we’re just lazy bastards who like to abuze the work experience system. To our surprise, a lot of people were interested, but Ashleigh was by far the most motivated & qualified person who got in touch, so we were happy to help her out, which helps us out, which helps her out.
