Our 2011 ELLE NEW TALENT winner, Kelly Esterhuyse, started her internship at Mr Price headquarters in Durban last week. We couldn’t wait to catch up with her and hear all about her first week in action.

How have your first few days at Mr Price been?

My first few days at Mr Price Head Office have been absolutely incredible! I have learnt so much about the fashion industry in just three days. The other two days I spent at a knitwear factory in Newcastle (in Natal). Learning about mass produced knitwear was exciting and very new for me. I now have a much clearer picture of all the hard work and effort that goes into each garment.

What was the biggest surprise about the Mr Price office?

The biggest surprise about the Mr Price Head Office was the number of people working there. I was also surprised at how many people work in each department and all the effort that goes into each garment that is designed and made. There is a vibe in the office that I can’t even explain.

What are you most looking forward to?

I am so excited to see my range come to life! I think when I walk into Mr Price and see my range up in store and my name in the window display it will hit me that this is real and that dreams can come true!

What can we look forward to seeing from your Mr Price collection?

You can look forward to staple knitwear pieces and trendy garments that go with them.

kulthum simons on 4/6/2012: Firstly I was so inspired when I read about kelly and saw those pictures of her doing her thing. I myself will be studying fashion design in the year 2013 fashion design. I have designed things for myself in the mean time, as I matriculated last year. I just cannot wait for 2013, would you be so kind to advise me on what I should do in the mean time? Should I apply for an internship? Thanking you.. Kulthum simons
