Arts Thread

I am final year, soon to be graduate from London College of Fashion, studying Fashion Textiles: Knit. I also have a Merit Foundation in Fashion Textiles from Central Saint Martins.

I am hoping to gain a wealth of experience through Fashion, Textiles and Trend Companies. To give me the broad experience I need to further myself within the industry. I am a versatile creative and feel my skills will fit within many specialisms. However, have recently focused work on trends and presentation, with a key emphasis on colour and texture. I plan to spend a year travelling around SE Asia and Australia, with the hope to advance my understanding of different cultures and environments, and stimulating more creative ideas. I hope to get a knitwear/ design job while travelling in Australia.

 I would describe myself as driven, hardworking, professional and creative. I was born in the Netherlands and lived and schooled there until the age of 14, where I then moved to the UK. I then studied GCSE’s and A Levels- studying Art, Textiles and Business achieving A* , A ,B. After this I progressed through my CSM foundation with this then leading me into a degree in Fashion Textiles: Knit at LCF. Through my degree I have continued to grow, develop and gain skills and knowledge to forward into a career path once graduating. I have previously worked in commission work for Mimi Wade and been a New Look Sales Assistant for 2 years. I have completed an internship at Ilana Blumberg, Another Magazine and PHD Advertising Company. Developing my creative experience further I have also entered into Xinao Competition (May 23) and attended Premier Vision in Paris (22&23).
