PERSONAL STATEMENT “Blue and Green never to be seen” used to say my always elegantly dressed grandmother, and my spontaneous and confident reply, quoting Coco Chanel, was: “The best color in the whole world is the one that looks good on you”. From a very young age I was infatuated with clothes and accessories, mixing them in a way through which I had the impression I was creating my own fashion style. Growing up I realized all the more my real interest in this field and I simply knew that I was born to be a popular member of the fashion industry world. To be seriously involved in the fashion industries is the dream of many young people of our days but only a few make it to the top and ensure a successful professional career. These are the ambitious ones who are talented, have a passion for this job, have acquired professional skills and are determined to achieve their goals. I firmly believe that I will be a person listed in this category, so as I want to stand out from the crowd, I want to invest in my initial flair and future career plans and follow a BA degree in Fashion at UCA in order to expand my knowledge and practice on this field as much as possible. I strongly believe that during my three course years I will have the opportunity to understand the basic principles of fashion promotion, explore the roles of fashion stylist and photographer as well as the fundamental principles of marketing. I am looking forward to introducing myself to research, analysis and interpretation. Since I have developed a stronger passion for my work particularly about fashion styling, I have become more creative and imaginative; I have developed organization and presentation skills, and I have learnt to work within a team. I felt very honored when I did the styling for the school play and receiving very positive comments from my peers, teachers and visitors. Participating in several MUN (Model United Nations) conferences both in Greece and abroad as a school representative has enhanced my debating skills and built up my self-confidence. In the summer of 2010 drawn already into the career I’ve chosen, I was lucky enough to do my internship at ‘’In Style’’ Fashion magazine where I had the opportunity to see closer what this job involves, to speak with journalists and photographers and to realize what is needed for the creation of fashion images and looks. Following that unique and enlightening experience, I attended a three-day Styling Workshop at LCF in London where I had the opportunity to participate in a variety of assignments within the studio and on location. Moreover, I like to pay visits to galleries and exhibitions and read fashion magazines and periodicals. As a person I am friendly, with ethos and respect for others and with excellent communication and organization skills; I am a sports fan and enjoy playing tennis and kick boxing; I go to the gym and attend regular free drawing lessons. I speak and write excellent English and good French and I have acquired very good IT skills. I look forward to beginning my university studies in Fashion and an exciting new life in the UK. Since I believe in myself and trust my capabilities, I am determined to succeed in my new goals.
