5 year plan...

To be honest i have no idea where i 'plan' to be in 5 years but i have a very rough idea.

1: I was really unsure of where i even wanted to be next year because originally i wanted to do my third year in London. This would have most likely meant doing and extra two years and personally i think its really unnecessary doing 4 years of fashion when i could be out in industry earning and networking. So that got crossed off my list. I also considered doing an internship, but i would really like to get my BA degree before going out to work. After considering all my options i decided the best for me would to stay at AUCB for my third year which includes doing the 3 month placement so i get a foot into the industry.

2: After university i would like to See the world a little. I have been lucky enough to travel a bit already but to go off for 6 months and see as much as possible would be amazing.
Saying that i also know how difficult it is to get a job within the industry so if any opportunities come along i will definitely take them.

3: By my third year i would like to be working, ideally in London or somewhere close to home. My interests lye withing pattern cutting and the manufacturing side of fashion so i would like to think my job will be around that. A lot of manufacturing seems to be coming back to the UK so maybe ill more likely be doing an internship somewhere which i would be very happy about.

4: finishing an internship, looking for a more permanant job.

5: Settled and happy within my Job role.

Work experience - Kite Kids.

For my work experience last summer i spent two weeks working for Kite Kids clothing company. They produce environmentally eco friendly garments for kids aged 2 - 11 years old, and i believe they have recently introduced their baby range which they were working on when i was there. Majority of they time i would have been in the office, but i also helped on some photoshoots at the beach and from those photos i helpd create their catalogue on in design. Below are just a few of the photos that were used.
