Last April 17 was our first day as Oxygen interns. It was their model casting for the upcoming Philippine Fashion Week.

It was our first time being in an actual fashion go-see, so imagine how excited and nervous we felt that day! It was held in the SMX Convention Center and the place was packed with hundreds of tall and good looking models wanting to be part of the show. When we got there, it was the STATUS Magazine team who guided us and introduced us to the brand director and other great people from Oxygen. They were all nice, very accommodating and made sure that our experience, as Oxygen interns would be as fun as we expected. We watched them as they picked from those pretty models. Being first-timers in this kind of industry made us realize how carefully chose the models that would represent their brand on the runway. We sat there for hours but those hours seemed to fly by since were having such a great time.

Overall, it was a great learning experience that we enjoyed very much. Being in the same room with the people behind the brand we love so much was like a dream come true! We’re anticipating the exciting days to come and we’re truly looking forward to the actual Oxygen Fashion Week Show!
