I am an enthusiastic final year BA (Hons) International Fashion Business student, with a two-year background in Textile Design. I’m particularly interested in Fashion Buying industry. My practices combine my creative insight with commercial awareness, especially through projects focused on identifying market gaps and producing business reports supported by market research and consumer trends. I have gained practical experience during my work placement at Next, where I developed a deep understanding of the range building process and the commercial side of the fashion industry. Throughout my time at NTU, I have developed skills in trend forecasting, product development and competitor analysis which I will be able to take into industry.
