After being introduced to Bass during my internship at GQ Magazine, it has quickly become one of favorite brands. Founded in 1876 by George Henry Bass, an early shoemaker. The brand prides itself on the notion of making “the best possible shoe for the purpose it is intended.” Although Bass is well-known for its high quality shoes and thorough workmanship, Bass is also noted as the pioneer of the penny loafer, after introducing its Weejuns line to the world in 1936.
What I love the most about the brand is that even after 136 years of making amazing shoes, it still manages to maintain the vision of George Henry Bass, while incorporating modern looks in their line. Not to mention, their shoes are made with great detail and can add sophistication to any outfit. While Bass prides itself on using only the best quality for their shoes, it is affordable on almost any budget. As I always say, “looking good should not cost an arm and a leg,” and Bass understands that.
Thank you for exposing me to this company. I am loving their collection. This is definitely a store that I will recommend to my male friends!
No problem, they also sell women’s shoes too. So, check them out because you might find something you like =]
I freaking love this company, I buy from them always.
I am in love with your blog + style! The way you groom yourself is effortless yet very classy! I was wondering if you could tell me if GQ internship is available for girls also? I understand its a Men’s magazine but I’m a girl and I love everything about GQ (style,writing, music, etc)
And how did the internship process go? What did you have to do?
Sorry for the questions! I would appreciate your help!
With Love, Catherine
Aww thanks, Catherine. I really appreciate that. Yup, GQ is available for both girls and guys, they are very open minded =]. Well, I came across an internship ad that GQ had posted on their website and I applied. And in a few days, I was asked to come in for an interview. When I had the interview it went really well and I started the next day.
My position was “fashion editorial intern,” I worked with PR companies and designers on sample pulls and returns, assisted with run-throughs, maintained the fashion closet, and other things. It was great and I loved everyone there, I really learned a lot. However, it was a lot of work. So, prepare to be busy.
I hope this helps =].
You are incredible! Thats amazing! I already can imagine how much fun I’ll have if I could intern! Thing is, I’m still in high school. I go to school in Ho Chi Minh City Vietnam
I’m currently interning at Robb Report Magazine.
Ever since my internship started, I have become more passionate about fashion ESP. MENSWEAR! I’m applying to college in the U.S probably in MA, DC,NYC (east coast only!) So when I get there, I hope that INTERNSHIP is still available! I’d love to intern. Hmmm One more question! Did you intern full time? I wish there is part-time…I’d be a freshman enrolling a 4 year uni and to do FULL TIME would be impossible!
Thank you for your reply! Means so much to me
That’s pretty awesome. Oh really? You would love going to college in the U.S. it would be fun. And I am sure they will still have available internships…it is a fashion publication, they will always need the extra help.
In terms of full time or part time, I was a part time intern. However, they asked me to stay on as full time, but I could not.
I hope this helps. Good luck!
