About me
Alongside with a strong education background (First Class BA (Hons) Degree in Fashion), I possess first-hand experience working within a Visual Merchandising (VM) team at BHS and Marks and Spencer which I am currently working as a full time Stylist. I have also worked within most aspects of the fashion industry including working as a factory floor assistant in a garment production factory in London, working for designers (i.e. House of Holland and Georgia Hardinge), I have also worked backstage at London Fashion Week as a dresser and stylist. In my current role, I have demonstrated effective communication skills with the Visual Manager; Visual Team; Sales Team; Floor Managers; Commercial Managers and the Store Manager.I am highly motivated with proven ability to work under pressure and to deadlines. For example, achieving a First Class Degree, BA (Hons) Fashion whilst working on various projects, modules and events such as photo-shoots which I have directed and styled. A photo of a garment in which I designed and styled was independently chosen and used in the ‘Plymouth in Fashion’ promotional campaign which was used alongside of high-street brands and designer garments.
I am flexible in terms of working hours; travel; and working away as I understand the nature of this role and the environment to expect. As well as practical skills in styling, I also have sewing abilities gained through my Fashion Degree. I can carry out repairs on garments both hand and machine sewn. I can do garment alterations such as taking up hems and replacing buttons all to a high standard as learnt while producing garments for ‘ELLA London – London’s Premier Clothes Manufacturer’. I am confident in washing, and pressing of garments as well as taking care of them travelling and unloading onto set along with any additional accessories.
