Work Experience - Beau Couture

Okay, so not content with the length of my current C.V i decided that more work experience was needed and so i took myself off to the Enterprise Pavilion at the university. After talking to Matt & Claire in the office, i came away with the email address of a graduate who needed help finishing her first collection and another exciting project which i shall talk about later on. 
The graduate was Natasha, who runs her own company called 'Beau Couture' and who makes really beautiful clothes with countryside and sea side inspirations. All of her clothes have amazing shape and textures. The first project she asked me to help her with was a photo shoot of her new collection, which was an amazing experience. 
She shoot four different sets of lingerie, all of which were stunning and so well made. The photo shoot itself was the first professional shoot i've been on and i loved it. It almost made me want to do Buying and Merchandising next year - almost... 
I'm going to continue to do work experience with Natasha and 'Beau Couture' and cant wait. 

I also recommend other students go to the EP, as its such a great way to gain experience of the industry right on your doorstep.
