Sofia Coppola Was Once A Coffee-Fetching Intern, Too — For
Lagerfeld  If you happen to be fortunate enough to land an
internship at the Chanel atelier in Paris, your responsibilities
are far from test-driving couture and entertaining Choupette
with a toy mouse on a purse chain string. It's hard work. And
Sofia Coppola filled in a few of the specifics for Vogue UK.
Granted the Oscar-winning filmmaker wasn't around when
Lagerfeld's favorite feline ruled all, but she did intern at the
storied fashion house as a teen in the '80s.  As Coppola says,
her internship was kinda just like all of ours. She made coffee
for her boss and shadowed him while he worked, so she could gain
a true understanding for the profession. "I got to see Karl
Lagerfeld doing haute couture sketches for the final shows," she
tells Vogue UK. "It was incredible — he is so creative. I was
getting coffee and doing intern stuff, but just to be around him
was amazing." Okay, perhaps her experience wasn't exactly like
our summer before junior year
