About me

To Whom it may concern,

I am writing to you with regards to the position of Junior Trend Forecasting Assistant, as I saw the vacancy advertised on the Creativepool website and would like to apply for the role.

As my enclosed CV indicates, I have graduated with a First Class Honours degree in Fashion Design with Business Studies and have experience of working in several fashion houses including Jonathan Saunders and Margaret Howell.

Fashion is my primary interest and where the majority of my past experience lies, but I have a strong cultural awareness and passion beyond this for the wider art and design field. Undertaking research from a wide range of varied sources including galleries, photography, online blogs, periodicals and also my peers is a daily occurrence; and formulating and developing concepts leading on from this is personally a very exciting and important part of the design process. I designed and collated a book for my degree show to demonstrate the significance my research and trend concept had played in my work, and the additional experience I gained carrying out collection research at Margaret Howell, developed my ability to understand and translate a different brands identity and requirements from my own.

I fully recognise the importance of effective presentation and place great emphasis on developing and creating a well-designed and creative compositions. The aesthetic and arrangement of my design work is very considered and assists with the development and editing process of my ideas, of which I am confident in presenting and communicating to others. I have utilised my presentation skills not only in my own work but also in past internship roles including Jens Laugesen when composing portfolio pages and also when collating research, creating specification sheets, wholesale books and producing general studio admin in past positions.

I am extremely interested in working in the trend forecasting industry because it is where I feel my strengths and interest lie and hope my passion for research, fashion design and strong work ethic would be desirable qualities for the role. Please find my CV and sample portfolio included as attachments. Thank you for considering my application and I look forward to hearing from you.

Yours Sincerely

Rachael Stott
