Start of the year!!Ive just finished the summer and have completed an internship with BURBERRY. I was at theHQ at Westminster Horseferry House and it was lovely to be there. The building is amazing and so stylish. Its on Westminster, near the bank and its so beautiful during the summer as the Thames is near.
My experience was a tough yet rewarding. I was in product development for three months. My day would start at 9am most days and then finishing at 6pm!! It was a very long day and my roles were demanding. I got to see the design studios which were very corporate looking but did have flare. I found the process of designing was also methodical and not as create as I thought it would be. I made some amazing friends and contacts whilst there. I also asked for sponsoring fabrics, and managed to get sponsorship for my College!! so next stop me!
My summer was hard but I feel was worth it. Because my roles were so diverse- I learned how a big corporate company works. Christopher Bailey was really nice, and said hello to me quiet a few times! I was gutted that I missed out on London Fashion week, and it was important for BURBERRY as they haven't shown in 10 years, but got to help out in the beginning of the night before I to told to leave!! Great experience and learned all lot, but most important made lots of contact.
Contacts I made were:
Leanne Jae- Denim Product Developer
Camila Hanson- Sample Co-coordinator
