I worked closely with Kula Tsurdiu’s small and passionate team of designers, managers and machinist. They are home to a stunning collection of luxury bridal gowns, bridesmaid dress, veils and handmade accessories. My main role was to assist brides in finding their dream dress and to help create a romantic and dream-like atmosphere in store. Within production I worked with beautiful Nottingham and French laces, drawing out dress patterns for brides and completing twirl mock ups for client fittings. I worked closely with company owner Kula to learn about the business and how to dress make. These are skills that I now feel confident in.

I started at Native Clothing as an office junior, completing front of house tasks, reception work and the everyday running of the office. Moving into Export Administration I gained the responsibility of working with our factory in Morocco via email and meeting over the phone. I was responsible for weekly and monthly marine shipping documents and organizing courier collection and prices with Deltec and Davies Turner. My later role as Production Assistant meant checking fabric qualities and lengths. I assembled professional working relationships with fabric suppliers to get the best fabric and trims for my company’s designs. I was also accountable for the overseeing of lab dip approvals and keeping buyers from Topshop and Asos informed of their progress. I created a document using excel that worked alongside our critical path for my production team to use, making garment tracking from start to finish a lot easier. This was trialed for 6 weeks before its approval of full time use, which has continued since I have left Native.
