About me
STYLIST @ Nasty Gal
Projects
- Stylist AssistantI have experience working freelance assisting and buying for London based stylist Sabrina Henry sabrinajhenry.com/fashion assisting on-set during shoots as seamstress and stylist assistant, for certain projects working on alterations before shooting and crafting garments to a concept thought up by Sabrina. I have also been trusted with a briefed buying project for a Patron promotional shoot, working to a budget with a 16 outfit target.
- Faustine Steinmetz InternUnder the guidance of Newgen sponsored Faustine Steinmetz I nurtured my vigour for handcrafted, slow-made design and individually processed pieces, with the focus being ‘to make a piece for someone to keep forever’. I worked on weaving samples for collaborations with commercial brands such as Cheap Monday and for Faustines own collection, shown at Somerset House and the ICA. I also spent much of my time in liaison with the chosen factories and cloth houses, working on research and backstage preparation.
- Print InternI completed a season with Draw In Light duo Polly and Harry, during my final year, on their screen printed luxury jersey line sold in prestigious stores such as Liberty, again working on sampling and production I gained training in silk-screen printing techniques and the software involved with creating these designs which influenced my work immensely as I recognised my respect for couture and the designers conserving the potential to work on luxury pieces with crafted skills.
- Design InternI have worked with Adam Andrascik for a season, his collection exploring the re-newing of vintage denim into desirable modern patchwork-esque pieces. I was taught the art of pattern cutting and worked on samples for his SS15 collection, maintaining responsibilities such as running materials and drawings to the factories, discussing alterations and assisting during the presentation at Paris Fashion Week.
