MY INTERNSHIP JOURNEY CONTINOUS (2/3)

 Hello everyone!


Hope you are having a good time. 


For the ones that have finished their internship, congrats!!! For the ones that are still on them, hope all is going fine. 

As for me, I am still in my internship as I decided to to a long one (till the end of August) and I am at CDLP. In the past month not a lot has changed but I went to London and had a look at the retailers that we are part of, so Harrods, Selfridges and Harvey Nichols, talk to the sales team there and see how the brand is being displayed, how we are doing and how are the sales team feeling in general. It was amazing to get such nice feedback of the brand and see how is very appreciated and loved in the UK Market. 

Back in Stockholm doing same same so I decided to talk to my team and see if there is a chance of diversifying a little what I am doing and just learn from other areas, let's see how that goes. The team has grown in the past month and we got three new people coming in, had a chance of see a little of samples for next collections and prepare for Paris and CPH Showroom. Very excited to see what will happen in the next months and just ready to learn more and more. 

Hope all are having a good summer and time so far compañeros!!!

Product Developer intern 3/3

Hey Everyone!

This post is my last, the ten weeks has gone so fast. Since last I have been occupied with a lot of different task. I have been continued my work with the contacting suppliers on fabric and finishes but also on trims, which has been extensive but fun. I have been participating in arranged company days and been visiting shops where the product are sold and meeting customers. I have also continued to get an insight in work that the pattern makers do and how it is related to the product developers and also been helping them with various difficulties regarding fitting and other problems that have occurred. 

I am grateful for this experience, it has really helped me to get an insight in the textile industry and the product development department and its challenges and processes which will be helpful for me in the future.
