Art, music and personal history are all huge inspirations in my work. One of the first in my fashion career came from a trip to Edinburgh where I witnessed how a kilt is fitted and sewn. This skill inspired me to go on to study fashion and how a piece of cloth can become a beautiful garment when draped on the body.

On discovering your advertisement online, I am applying for your design position in girlswear, print and graphics. I am currently a BA(Hons) Fashion student at the Arts University Bournemouth and have specialised in Design Technology using the highly advanced Lectra software.

Due to company success and expansion at this Central London supplier, you will be responsible for; - Designing Girlswear (Teen) Print and Graphics.

I have developed strong skills in Lectra from digital pattern cutting through to print whilst using the Adobe suite packages alongside this. Using this software has allowed me to create a range of photographic prints for womenswear and childrenswear throughout my collections. I am confident in presenting my ideas and work and have experience of giving and receiving constructive design feedback.

I have a strong passion for print and for designing in children’s/teenwear, therefore I am confident this position would not only be beneficial for myself, but that I could contribute significantly to your company also.

When I created this logo, I needed to come up with a name that suited who I am and something that was personal to me. My middle name is Romanis which is a Romany name that has been passed down through my family.

I used this because it’s a name that I want to carry on, yet it’s a name that not many people know I have.

I used a black and white background for my logo as I wear monochrome and I don’t often wear colour.
