BTW for Acester, Vivien's is extremely hard to get work experience at. I was really lucky, because I applied December '04 only to be told no, then called back and april '05, and they only ever take on one person a month, if any. But hey, if its what you really want, I'd send them an email. Its mainly sending letters, getting coffees and that sort of thing, but I also got to help put together the portfolios, and was able to look over gemmas at the same time.. (Very, VERY cool)
However, if you really want to get into the fashion industry, I suggest FBI Fashion college. They are absolutely incredible, and are in Glebe, Sydney. I've only been there for seven weeks and have gone work experience with Girlfriend, backstage at the Myer Fashion show and soon to be helping with David Jones.. Madness
