Visit us at an open day

I began my placement year at Burberry, and was given opportunities to work on fashion week runway garments. I then moved on to smaller brand E. Tautz where I was even given the opportunity to go to Paris and take part in the menswear showrooms, conducting appointments with international buyers. After that I did a season at Tom Ford, where I learnt so much about how clothes are made, and felt really pushed and valued by the team.
