PVH : TOMMY HILFIGER & CALVIN KLEIN INTERNSHIP Securing an Internship at Tommy Hilfiger’s Head Office in Amsterdam, I took on the role of Visual Merchandising Intern, specifically for the Middle East & Asia division. Gaining invaluable experience during my 3 months there, I was educated in all aspects of visual merchandising and the important role it plays in the luxury retail market.

POP PR LONDON FASHION WEEK INTERNSHIP Based at Freemasons’ Hall, I assisted on the shows of Pam Hogg, Jamie Wei Haung, Xiao Li, Napsugar, Belle Sauvage, Mimi Fasi and Sorapol at Lincoln’s Inn Fields. The experience gave me an understanding of how Fashion Week is run as well as introducing me to upcoming Fashion Designers from all over the world.
