Personal Skills

After many many days of researching into every aspect of the fashion industry,

from pattern cutter, to fashion buyer, designer, PR, stylist, illustrator and merchandiser

I have found that I am most suited to gaining a career in the fashion design

field as I have a passion for the subject, want to carry it on in my studies

at university and I have both practical and technical skills which employers look for.

I have also created my own personal SWOT analysis to help me

with my decisions in relation to university choices.

After an enterprising lesson with Jane Shaw, I also found

that my determination is my highest skill with leadership the lowest!
