Future Plans

Through working at Christopher Raeburn I feel like I have a much clearer understanding of the fashion industry and the areas I want to be involved in. On my placement I was mainly working in the office and on Illustrator doing the role of a 'product developer'. This role is not one that I wish to go into as my career. One of the positives of working in a small company was that I got to witness the whole design process. The area I can see myself most in is design, the men's designer at Christopher Raeburn did the whole men's collection and was also an in-house seamstress. She made the patterns and professional standard samples of the collections. This job really appeals to me as I love designing but I also love pattern making and garment construction. This is the direction I see my career going.
