Harriet Edgar
Having studied Textiles for over 4 years, earlier this year I achieved a Diploma in Foundation Studies in Art & Design, where I spent a year focussing the many disciplines of fashion, such as marketing, design, illustration and styling. My love for both fashion and writing over the years have now driven my focus towards a career in fashion journalism, this September I will be starting my BA(Hons) in Writing Fashion & Culture.
I've worked for Vauxhall Fashion Scout at London Fashion Week, where I got to work alongside PR Agencies to ensure the smooth running of the catwalks. From this I have been lucky enough to gain work experience for Fashion Enter, where i've written articles, attended a publicity event, and worked at the Enter Boutique to encapsulate my work experience.
If you are interested in coming to Fashoin Enter for work experience please contact jenni@fashion-enter.com.
