Mockumentary of fashion event chaos from @instylemagazine

The creator, playing an InStyle intern named Jess, narrates a chaotic morning after a successful party in Miami.

She finds her Fashion Director, Kevin, passed out and hungover on the floor, and then confronts another colleague, Jonathan, who is also hungover and unready, creating a comedic, high-stress scenario where she must get them prepared for the day's events.
