In this week's episode, Meret is discussing the problematic job of a fashion assistant. Wait - problematic? - yes, assisting is more than attending fancy celebrity photoshoots and going shopping. But what exactly is a fashion assistant, how do you become one and why is this position ironically so necessary and important but on the other hand hardly paid and pushing people towards burnout and depression? Furthermore, Meret is reading a few examples of crazy experiences other assistants shared on Twitter and the Instagram account @fashionassistants. Spoiler alert: apparently crying closets for interns are a thing and so is lightning a cigarette for the head stylist - but see, or rather, hear it for yourself and please share your thoughts on how to protect young talents in the fashion industry.
