It has been documented in previous articles that I am a little lack-lustre when it comes to domestication. I’ve never scattered a cushion in my life. But praise where praise is due,
Martha Stewart, I admire you.
And it seems I’m not alone. Designer Zac Posen recently placed a winning bid of $3500 to secure himself an internship with the domestic diva!
We can’t wait to see how this internship might inspire his next collection … channeling Martha and all!
After he won the internship, he was a little overwhelmed by the lusciousness of it all, tweeting: “I’m so happy that I won a 6 week internship with @marthastewart. Whatever will I learn?”
What will he learn indeed? Here’s what we would like to see on the agenda!
Week one: General note taking on being fabulous
While this is Martha’s time to shine…to talk business, empires, and general admiration of one’s achievements, she might also encourage Zac to perform a presentation as a ‘get to know you’ session.
Week two: Scrapbooking skills
If one thing can be said for Martha, it’s that she is organized! Zac could learn a thing or two here about keeping his inspirations for up-coming collections in order. Martha will probably encourage Zac to “glitter at whim”.
Week three: Fun with feathers
Zac loves feathers, and Martha has no shortage of ways to work them. This mutual interest will surely see them bond in their third week.
Week four: How to weild a glue gun
Martha finally feels Zac is ready to pull out the big (glue) guns. They will practice with sequins and buildup to rhinestones. Could this be a sign of glitterati in his next collection?
Week five: Outlandish seasonal décor
Topics include scattering of cushions, stenciling projects, colour palettes, floral arrangements, beds and bedding and homemade.
Week six: A Martha Stewart Thanksgiving
In order to say thanks to her protégé, Martha dabbles in teaching entertaining etiquette, and also how to cook a turkey! Impressive!
