BA (Hons) Fashion Design Technology: Womenswear
Through completing my BA degree at The London College of Fashion, I have consistently been building on my design and technical skills for the past four years. I have also worked within a fashion manufacturers for the past two years while undertaking my BA degree this has also added to this knowledge. I am constantly pushing myself to work to be the best designer I can be. Two of my designs have been bought by asos through Elise Ryan (Fashion Manufacturer). In total asos ordered 3000 garments. I also have proved I have the initiative by taking it upon myself to contact an American Entertainment news presenter named Giuliana Racic, in which I sent across a design that I felt would really suit her style. Giuliana asked if I could fly it to her office in Los Angeles, so she could wear it for an upcoming event which I was more than pleased to do. Through work experience in companies such as Marks and Spencer, Lipsy and Arcadia, I have learnt how to create trend boards along with colour and fabric boards, and learnt at university the importance of trend forecasting. I then furthered these skills within Elise Ryan where boards were of constant importance and which I had the opportunity to help with. Creating range boards at university has enabled me to use Photoshop and Illustrator, and throughout my projects and work experiences CAD has been of major importance. I have built on these skills throughout my university experience. Teamwork is within my nature and I believe that collating different ideas can allow for a better outcome. From a young age I have aspired to be the best fashion designer I can be. I am extremely hard working, and can cope well in a high pressured environment. Designing is my hobby and my life.
