About me
I have 2years worth of retail experience at Dr Martens as a sales assistant and visual merchandising champ. However, i’m now looking to delve into the fashion industry to begin a career in my various areas of interests which include fashion visual communication (fashion styling, visual merchandising), brand consultancy, and trend forecasting.
This covers a lot of different pockets of the creative fashion industry but i believe i have a lot to give as well as a lot to learn about the industry and how it can move away from some of its archaic practices into a new era of considered consumption, less visual-overstimulation, and a connected expression of our individual identities and others’ visual identities.
Ultimately i’d love to become a creative fashion director, as well as having my own creative consultancy led by considered forecasting (think Li Edelkoort) for companies who are willing to come to me as a black creative to listen & learn. It’s rare to see black talent represented or taken on by the agencies across London despite what they have to offer the world. I think being a part of and working within different areas of the fashion industry will help me to achieve this goal.
