Work Placement





I managed to get a work placement at Christophe Raeburn. His fairly small office is set up in East London and has under 10 permanent employees. Christopher Raeburn is very concerned with recycling and ethical fashion, he works with old clothing such as fire suits and parachute fabric to create his collections. I worked in the office and helped with the day to day running. For the most part of my two week placement I was transferring flat sketches that the designer's had given me into CAD drawings on Illustrator.
I found out a lot about the production process while at Christopher Raeburn and have a clear understanding of how designs are developed from ideas to full production lines.
I really enjoyed the time I spent on Placement, it has taught me about the fashion industry and has given me a much clearer idea of what I want from my career.
