Lauren's POV"I like the first design you made Sophia. Don't change anything!" I ordered the petite blonde, who was one of our best designers. Sophia was the Head of Designing team. It's going to be the cover of the Catalog for Spring.
"Got it Lauren." She smiled with satisfaction, as she rested her hands on her sketch pad and leaned on the chair. I was having a meeting with my designing team and photography team for the upcoming season. The His'n'Her has to make sure that every season, a latest catalogue was done, to keep everyone up-to-date with the trends of the season and brings each fashion sense and quality at the best price in a stylish, accessible format.
"Collect all the other designs from the other designers and send it to Mario. We need a finish product for the catalog before this week ends, or we will be behind. Send it to our factory and start reproducing it." I continued. I was pacing back and forth in our board room, while massaging my temple with anxiety. My temper is starting to flare up. My designing team wasn't working at their best. All of them, their ideas was too obsolete and poor quality. Quality is a central topic, from initial idea to final product. It is our aim to always exceed our customers' expectations on quality.
His'n'Her design department employs 188 in-house designers and 120 pattern makers, as well as several design assistants and print designers. Working from our Head Office in New York, they create His'n'Her's wide-ranging and varied collections.
The team is large and diverse, representing different age groups and nationalities who draw inspiration from every corner of the globe and a wide variety of sources. From art, cinema, maga-zines and music to street fashion, trade shows and trend seminars.
All these influences are then filtered into constantly updated collections full of inspiring fashion at unbeatable value for money. Men, women, teenagers and children should always find something just for them at His'n'Her, whatever their taste or style.
Our design process is about striking the right balance between fashion, quality and the best price. And it always involves sustainability awareness, that means a strong consideration for both people and the environment, all the way from the sketch book to the customer.
"We can get the catalog done before the spring comes Lauren.." Mario reassured and look at Sophia, Isaac and Chris the Head of pattern maker team. "If we need to work throughout the night to get it done, we will. Right guys?" He confirmed and then everyone agreed desperately. I looked around and I heaved a loud sighed. What can I do but to trust them.
"How about the models Isaac? Have you found a replacement for Michael and Donaire?" I asked. Other competing company had sneaked behind our back, offering a higher salary to them and one day I just found out they are both working in one of our greatest competitor, the 'Claire Clothing Co.'. That didn't end there. Two of my best designers was also silently recruited and offered most promising fee. I have a feeling that one of my employees was snooping and a spy for the said company. And I will not stop to find out.
I walk back to the head chair. I had to show them my stronger and stoic side. I can't let them win whoever he or she was.
"I was working on it. I already found one." Isaac replied eagerly. I knew I can trust him either. He could be a replacement. He is everything a model is, but I knew he hated spotlight.
"I want his project done by the end of this month.!" I demanded icily. I saw fear in each eyes except Mario.
"Yes Lauren! We will do our best.!" everyone replied.
