Missy’s SL Virtual Internship Interview
Missy’s Virtual Fashion Internship
In this Virtual Fashion Internship podcast I am asking Missy questions regarding the virtual internship PowerPoint she submitted to me upon completion of the project. Missy aka: Missy Lavecchia in Second Life is one of two Buffalo State Fashion Technology students that completed a virtual internship with Shenlei Winkler aka Shenlei Flasheart from the Fashion Research Institute in the summer of 2009. We are viewing the PowerPoint as we are discussing the internship.
We have been attempting to schedule this interview since September. After multiple postponements we finally managed to complete it in my campus office last Wednesday. I did not even notice the traffic noise in the background [including an ambulance] until after the interview was completed. We were viewing Missy’s PowerPoint as we discussed her reactions to the entire virtual internship experience.
You will hear in the interview that she developed a concept board for her brand, a color palette for her collection, presentation boards and packages as well as a customer service policy. Once her collection was completed she participated in a well attended virtual fashion show titled Fluid with two other interns.

Here is a link to The Fluid Fashion show event that was the culmination of the internships for three fashion students.
Missy, it was such a privilege to model for you. It was fun to see your work culminate in the show and wear your clothing. It’s so exciting to see this video and hear you speak and see your progression!
