1. I am a 2015 graduate with merit from the Master
of Arts in Menswear Design at the prestigious
UAL London College of Fashion. Almost all of
my professional experience has been related
with menswear. Firstly at Barcelona, where
I got my bachelor’s degree in FDModa LCI, while
working for the best spanish designers assisting
them with research from an original concept,
selection of colour palettes, fabric sourcing,
pattern cutting, fittings and production.
I have gained invaluable experience in colour
direction, image research, and product
development under the direction of the WGSN
Menswear Director. I am highly proficient in
technical flats specifications and presentations.
My goal is to work for a luxury brand that
provides the opportunity to establish myself in
a fashion design career while appreciating the
development of new ideas in order to acquire
the highest quality. Willing to relocate in the UK,
Europe or USA.
