About me

Tennessee is a highly motivated and joyful fashion and marketing graduate, eager to grow within the London fashion industry. With styling experience in brand campaigns, model portfolios and photographic workshops, Tennessee has a solid portfolio and understanding of fashion and editorial styling. Having lived in several countries, and embraced a multitude of opportunities, Tennessee is keen to hone in on her skills in London. Shortly after arriving in the UK, Tennessee began collaborating with fellow creatives across London to produce a number of fashion editorials. Tennessee then began working at Harrods within the marketing department, utilising skills learnt from her marketing degree and strengthening her knowledge of luxury fashion labels. During the lockdown, Tennessee took the opportunity to enrol into an online Project Management course, drawing from her experience in photoshoot team management to further strengthen her skills in preparation for future photoshoot opportunities. With a vast background in photographic and runway modelling, and a passion for creating editorial content, Tennessee has learnt the essential skills necessary for directing and producing successful photoshoots. Tennessee brings enthusiasm and energy to all team levels, whilst remaining driven and focused on the task at hand.

Fashion Magazine AssistantFashion Observer Magazine
Mar 2018 - Aug 2018Brisbane, AustraliaInternship
At FOM I had the creative freedom to lead the next issue’s theme, of which I chose to focus on sustainable fashion. I was solely in charge of producing and collating content, which consisted of editorial shoots, fashion blogger features, interviews and events. I project managed two editorial shoots for the magazine, sourcing and managing shoot teams and curating wardrobes. One shoot was dedicated to thrifting, featuring clothing entirely sourced from a local thrift shop and shot in a vintage record store, whilst the other featured wardrobe from six local designers. I covered two local fashion shows, assisted by professional photographers, and followed up on the second show by conducting a filmed interview with the host, Hannah Klose (a leading sustainable fashion influencer). I also reached out to several other fashion bloggers, writing up short features on their work and selected further editorial submissions in line with the issue’s theme.
