About me

2020 BA(Hons) Fashion graduate from Northumbria University. I have specialised in menswear for three years and completed a six month placement at Lou Dalton, London. I have the ability to work autonomously with ease but also work as part of a team which has been developed through my experience at Northumbria but also professionally at Lou Dalton and part time jobs. As a creative individual I particularly enjoy the research process, but also colour/fabric development, which is evident in my work. I strive to work to the best of my ability, enrich my work with energy and develop my skills and knowledge further. Email - emaguire123@hotmail.co.uk Instagram - ellenmaguiremenswear
