NOV 6-7: Retail assistant at a top NYC vintage fashion market

Seeking a retail booth assistant at one of NYC's longest standing true vintage fashion shows, The Sturbridge Show.  The Sturbridge Show is a curated, by-invite-only vintage textile and apparel show with a focus on the 1700s through the 1990s.

Assistant will be asked to help man a booth space by packing customer orders, writing receipts, collecting payment, maintaining booth appearance and interacting with customers.  Fashion history knowledge is a bonus. This is best-suited for a fashion design or fashion/textile history student.

You will gain first-hand experience in interacting with industry leaders, press, local designers, film and tv costume departments and fashion historians.  My customers have included internationally renowned runway designers, local designers, historians, design scouts and film/tv producers.  You will also be exposed to a live press event where some of NYC's top fashion press outlets will be covering the show.  Lastly, you will get to handle and interact with period fashion from the Victorian through mid-twentieth century eras.  I also welcome ideas on merchandising and display, though it is not a requirement.

TIME/PAY:

The ideal candidate would be available during all event hours below (if not, however, please indicate what times you can work):
Friday 11/6 from 12:00pm to 8:00pm
Saturday 11/7 from 11:00am - 6:00pm

Pay is $100 per day.

**PLEASE NOTE:

Once a candidate is selected, I will need to get permission from the event to add a helper.  The job therefore is tentative until confirmed by the event.  Business owner also has bronchial problems and may occasionally need to step away from booth to take inhaler medication.

LOCATION:

The Altman Building in Chelsea, Manhattan.
