I am so so so so very excited about starting a placement with this inventive spark, Peter Jensen on Monday! It took copious amounts of peppermint tea to get me through about 2 weeks of emailing fashion designer upon fashion designer with hope that i would gain some sort of work experience over the summer or alas, be at home in bath for another unproductive summer!
Thankfully after weeks of contact and a few interviews on the way i was successful in gaining 3 internship opportunities with Jasper Garvida, Topshop and Peter Jensen. I decided to go for Peter Jensen because the overall look of his general aesthetic really suits mine.. It's very fun and quirky with lots of references to his childhood and imagination.( plus his brand logo is a chubby little rabbit..if that's not an incentive i don't know what is..?)
This placement also offered a practical element which i could be involved in, from research to pattern cutting to toiling and sewing. My confidence in the general "make" area is lacking so this is what i really needed. My aim at the end of the placement is to leave with bundles of knowledge and confidence to go back to uni and work my little socks off to produce a 6 outfit collection with no worries! haha i can only hope and maybe dream a little....
