Top : jobs wanted : fashion Amy Leonard job title Textile/Fashion Positions description Currently I am designing freelance as well as undertaking some styling work. Although I do enjoy the flexibility of working freelance, I feel I am better suited to a more challenging and structured position. I am ready to progress my career and feel that my varied skills and experience could recommend me as a suitable candidate for a variety of positions. I completed my final year of a B.Des Degree with honours in Textile Design at NCAD Dublin, where, after a common second year I chose to specialize in Printed Fashion Garments. It was a requirement of this course to undertake an exhaustive investigation of the current fashion market and trends as well as contemporary cultural discourses, from this I developed a keen eye for trend identification. I also have extensive working knowledge of adobe cs3 as well as good layout and presentation and excellent drawing/illustration skills. I have qualification in patternmaking/manipulation and garment construction and have completed a 9month study in a Japanese form of garment draping. My style of design has emphasis on surface and colour and idiosyncratic imagery and is aimed towards highend design. Previously I worked as a visual merchandiser/ display artist for the Topshop fashion brand, working in their second largest Irish store. The work dealt mainly with trend prediction, interpretation and implementation and helped me to develop my commercial awareness of the fashion industry. I was appointed the position of creative specialist for the team within three months of joining with the company. I have excellent administrative and organizational skills having worked in an office environment during my studies. I also have experience of office/studio management, fashion show production and fashion p.r. and would offer total dedication and commitment to any task set. address 24 Cleggan Park Ballyfermot Dublin 10 phone 01 6234792 fax mobile 087 2275039 pref. method of contact any contact name Amy Leonard contact email leonard.amyl@gmail.com url http://www.fashionspace.com/amyleonard date added 24-Sep-2008 Advertising Architecture Animation Ceramics Crafts Copywriting Display Exhibition Events Fashion Film Glass Graphic des.
