My First Week at Jenny Packham

Well my first week is already over. It's gone pretty quick! I'm just about beginning to recognise people and put faces to names - takes a while! I have to admit it hasn't been the easiest of weeks purely as I've been settling into such new and different surroundings both at work and at home, these things take time. All in all I have very much enjoyed my first week in the successful, fashionable and high profile design house that is Jenny Packham!

Below I have list a number of the jobs I have been doing this week.

  • Filing dry cleaning samples - I decided which dry cleaning technique (P or F) had passed or failed.

  • I've packed customer orders and dresses to be sent to factories.
  • I compiled a folder of colour swatches to be sent to factories as colour references.

  • I've been introduced to 'Micra', a software program which forms a database of garment information. I attached specification sheets, photos and bead/component information to the corresponding garments.
