We are so excited to have our new intern on-board! Meet Brittany – she is working with the Product Development and Marketing departments during her time with us:
BR|LGC: Where are you from?
Brittany: I am from Farmingville, Long Island (Suffolk County)
BR|LGC: Where do you go to college? What is your major?
B: I go to Marist College and my major is Fashion Merchandising with a minor in Business.
BR|LGC: What department are you working in while interning here at B. Robinson?
B: I am working with both the Product Development team and the PR/Marketing team while interning here at B. Robinson.
BR|LGC: How would you describe your personal style?
B: I would describe my personal style as simple and chic. I like to be trendy, but don’t ever wear anything to over the top. I like to add accessories to my outfits to make it can stand out. My favorites are shoes, of course, as well as scarves and sunglasses.
BR|LGC: What is one item you own that has enormous value to you but none to anyone else?
B: I would have to say is a glittery bracelet that I wear every day. It’s purple and I won at an arcade but it is very special to me.
BR|LGC: Who is your style icon?
B: My style icon is Coco Chanel. Her style is timeless and I love that about her. My favorite quote from her is “A girl should be two things: classy and fabulous.”
BR|LGC: What is your favorite winter activity on your days off?
B: Watching a movie with a cup of hot chocolate!
BR|LGC: What did your first pair of sun glasses look like?
B: My first pair of sunglasses were huge over-sized black ones. The ones that are probably too big for my face, but make a statement.
BR|LGC: What is your current favorite song?
B: Definitely ‘I Knew You Were Trouble‘ by Taylor Swift.
BR|LGC: What is your favorite winter dessert?
B: Homemade holiday cookies.
BR|LGC: Where do you find outfit inspiration?
B: I find outfit inspiration mostly by what is showcased in window displays in stores. I also like to read fashion magazines and get ideas from them.
BR|LGC: Name one “now or never” moment in your life.
B: A “now or never” moment in my life was definitely my choice to study abroad in Florence, Italy for my entire freshman year of college. I knew that the opportunity to go abroad at such a young age would only come once in a lifetime. It was an experience of a lifetime – I would go back in a heartbeat!
BR|LGC: What is your dream job?
B: My dream job would be designing and creating fashion – product development is on the top of my list. I love everything about it from the colors to materials. I think creating a product is a journey that involves passion about what you are creating.
BR|LGC: What do you hope to learn and accomplish by interning at B. Robinson?
B: I hope to learn and accomplish a great deal while interning here at B. Robinson. I want my time here to be meaningful and I plan to make every day count! I want to learn about the product development process and gain a true understanding on what it takes to be a product developer. I hope to gain insight about the factories and how material is chosen as well.
I also want to learn about how the product is portrayed through publications. Marketing a product and creating “buzz” takes a lot of time and effort. The product must be in the right publication at the right time. It has to also be able to relate to the customer. Overall, I want my total experience here to be an amazing one and I have no doubts that it will be.
Thanks Brittany and welcome to the team!
The BR | LGC 
The first theme, classic, which is reflected on tradition and charm, takes us back in time. This trend appeals to the curiosity and desire of individuals who are interested in the past and the exploration of the past through local and sustainable ingredients. This theme will be represented with natural materials combined with crystals, adding plenty of glamour to a classic and folkloric style. The deep greens and earthy browns of the forest are paired with genuine tones in dark shades of red and blue to create a harmonic plethora of rich hues for these crystals.
The romantic theme, which is a reflection on darkness, demonstrates the uncertainty in everyday life, particularly in the new generation. This dark and dramatic trend rejects all things happy and healthy, and instead embraces a sense of longing and lost. This “New Romantic” style is defined by opulent and eccentric symbols of punk combined with new-age technology to create an ageless appeal. There will be a wide variety of scales and rich colors in order to bring together the past and present with this trend.
