First Day of Work Experience at Jenny Packham

My first day! Unsurprising I was pretty nervous and anxious but thankfully, as a result of my interviews, I knew where to go which was the first hurdle crossed. I met with my mentors, Anke and Nigel, and filled out the necessary forms etc before Anke gave me a more detailed tour around the office/studio and introduced me to a n
umber of her colleagues. Although a bit daunting and nerve wracking, I enjoyed the day and was kept busy with a variety of jobs. I examined and organised a selection of dresses into factory groups, organised and bagged a number of dresses a few seasons old to be sent into the sale and began inputting shipping data into Microsoft Excel. All very exciting to be handling such exquisite, expensive and surprisingly heavy dresses!
