This post comes a bit late with me having been super busy in London, keeping up with a second job on top of my thoroughly enjoyed internship with Parka London. I started the placement back in January as part of my Fashion Design and Marketing course at Northumbria, and couldn't have asked for a better experience for my first time working in industry!
I started off doing marketing work, from writing for Parka Journal - Parka London's lifestyle blog, well worth a read if you're into art exhibitions, city break guides and how to work the classic tomboy style - to putting together branding packs and taking photographs for the blog. The team got started on design for the upcoming season later on in my internship, where I was researching trend, creating moodboards, attending fit meetings and designing outerwear and doing technical drawings.

Living in London brought about a very different kind of lifestyle, as being from the Lake District means I'm used to rolling hills and being surrounded by greenery and sheep. It's a fab place where there's always something going on, and I do think living independently in such a busy city has helped with my 'trying to adult' situation. I also had the privilege of sharing a flat with two of my good friends from uni, so we went exploring on the weekends, and met some great people along the way!
I've now moved out of the city and I'm spending a week at home for Easter with family, which gives me chance to post and update on my three months down south. I'll miss being in the centre of everything happening, always with something to do like exciting exhibitions and shows, but being home is a much welcomed change!
I'll be gradually posting about my adventures around London, from visiting museums to working London Fashion Weekend as part of my internship, along with working on my latest uni design project while I'm on placement year. I know it's late, but I finally have the chance to get some blogging done and don't want to miss out on sharing my experiences! :)
Thanks for reading, and keep posted for updates!
