Reilly Gallagher '20 Gains Invaluable Experience During Kleinfeld Bridal Internship

Shoutout to Reilly Gallagher '22! She's entering her junior year studying Fashion Merchandising at High Point University. This summer she had the opportunity of a lifetime interning at Kleinfeld Bridal, the renowned home of “Say Yes to the Dress” and the world’s largest collection of gowns!

"My internship allowed me to shadow various consultants, and learn the art of styling and assisting brides in finding their dream dresses, and model the new arrival of gowns for various designers," said Reilly of the experience. "Additionally, I had the chance to network with top designers such as Pnina Tornai, Netta BenShabu, Lazaro, and Randy Fenoli during Kleinfeld’s weekend trunk shows. This experience has been invaluable in pursuing my aspiration to become a bridal and evening wear designer. Kleinfeld’s has been a significant learning experience and has become a home away from home, thanks to the meaningful connections and friendships I’ve formed with colleagues and brides alike."

Reilly is also the vice president of events and programming for Kappa Delta sorority where she oversees and plans their formals, philanthropic events, mixers, tailgates and confidence-building activities. She's also active in several honor societies and the Fashion Forward Club.

Way to go, Reilly!
