Day 7 in the fashion world BHS

Obviously there are loads and loads and loads of garments comming in for every season and so Santosh needs to know which month all the garments went into the shops, and the easiest way to do this is to photograph them with a sign.
Soooo i was given a list by emma with the style number of all the garments on for May june and July which I had to pull out the goldseals of all these pyjamas, grid them up, put the right month sign with them and then photograph them. These were then uploaded onto a computer file ready for Santosh when she needs them.
Not all the August and September goldseals have come in or been approved yet, so for the time being i just found the ones which were available and racked them up ready to be photographed.

Bhs does alot of liscensed character pyjamas so they create a grid on Xcell with the year (at the moment its 2009/10) with infomation about the character e.g. Doctor Who andf then film realease, tv release, dvds, books, characters . This info is normally found in character fact sheets that the design company sends over.
I think the main reason for this is just to know when would be the best time to release a certain character pyjama, when there's going to be the most publicity for it and therefore going to sell best.

Finaly I had to find my way down to the "secret cupboard" and find the fancy dress outfits which needed sending back to one of the companies. I'm sure when i was younger the dressing up outfits weren't as cool as this. Now you can get super cute pumpkin ones and actual donkeys with the head on them and everything!!!
