What I love about fashion is how it can define you as a person. The colours you choose, the styles, the accessories, they all combine to give you an overall style that is unique to you. 我喜欢时尚是如何定义你的为人。你选择的颜色,款式,配件,他们都将给你的,对你是独特的一种整体风格。 I enjoy experimenting with fashion, seeing what works and what does not, and working out why it doesn’t work. I had some major fashion disasters, but have learnt from them and so have developed my own sense of style. 我喜欢尝试时尚,看到什么可行什么不可行,为什么它无法解决。我有一些大的设计失误,但从失败的设计中我发展出自己的风格。 As soon as I was old enough to work I applied for jobs in a number of High Street fashion stores and was taken on at Topshop. This has been perfect for developing my fashion sense, and I was often called upon to dress the mannequins when the latest collections came in. 当我的工作足够成熟了,我申请了在高街时装店的许多工作,并承担了夏季女装的设计。这个工作从风的促进了我的时尚感,当最新的收藏进来时我经常被要求装扮模特。 Studying fashion at college has opened my eyes even more to the technicalities of fashion and design. Looking at fabrics and understanding colours and concepts was something I found I enjoyed. I was able to transfer this knowledge to actual designs, and as a result created an A grade standard collection for my final assessment. There are numerous designers that I admire, and my preference changes with each season’s new collections. Stella McCartney and Christian Dior are my current favourites, as I feel they keep coming back with new and interesting ideas and fresh designs. I want to study fashion at university as I know that what I have learnt at college is just scratching the surface of the fashion world. I am eager to learn more, from the hands-on design and creation, through to the theory and history of fashion that I know will help shape my future work and give me a depth of knowledge that will last throughout a career in fashion. Aside from acting as a personal shopper and stylist to friends, I also help out at a local leisure club. I qualified as a junior swimming instructor while I was in college and regularly take swimming lessons for seven to nine year olds. I have also been involved with a number of charity events, including Race for Life and an event called Knit Together, where a number of people from my college knitted squares to make blankets for orphanages in Africa. I have also completed the Duke of Edinburgh Gold Award, and rank this as one of my greatest achievements so far. However, I know there will be many more opportunities to come my way in the future, and I am committed to make them into my achievements. |
