If you're into weddings this is the job for you. The Aisle New York is looking for talented, resourceful and dynamic interns to work with our small, highly professional founding team. They're a start-up bridal/wedding e-commerce company that launched Jan. 3, 2011. This is an awesome opportunity to participate in all aspects of the business and to be delegated significant responsibility. Duties include on set fashion assisting for our bridal fashion shoots, prepping and packing garments, answering phones and providing customer service support to shopping customers, general office management, brainstorming creative concepts and marketing initiatives, assisting in PR/Press initiatives, supporting founders/management in all functions, uploading photos and text to website.
As I've mentioned before, finding a wedding dress, a wedding veil, wedding shoes, what-have-you, are not easy tasks to accomplish. There is a ton of product, plenty of ugly product, and not really many places--stores, magazines, or websites--that offer trustworthy suggestions. That's all about to change with The Aisle New York, a members-only website, set to launch the first week in October, that aims to offer brides-to-be a place to shop for everything, get ideas, and just enjoy the whole pre-wedding experience. Yesterday, I met with site's co-presidents, WWD and W vet David Yassky and former corporate lawyer Shara Levy. Essentially, the duo--along with renown bridal boutique owner Mark Ingram (who serves as chief merchandising officer) and former Vera Wang creative director Deborah Moses (who serves at chief creative officer)--have built an online world for brides interested in more than cupcake dresses and tiaras. (Although there will be some of that, of course. It'll just be well-edited.)
