Work history
Millinery Intern
- London, United KingdomInternship
As the award winning Innovation Hat Designer of the year 2014 and having made hats for popular individuals such as Lady Gaga, working for Margaret O’Connor enabled me to learn a large range of skills and a great deal of knowledge of the millinery industry. By learning the fundamental skills of hat making, this increased my understanding of materials and applications. Due to the stage of her professional development, working with Margaret also provided me with exposure to the demanding business aspects of her operations. It made me wholly aware to the importance of sales in stimulating activity within her business. Throughout this, I also gained experience working towards deadlines and targets originally including London fashion week.
