I was fortunate enough to intern at Ralph Lauren for 10 weeks in the summer of 2019. This was an incredible experience where I relocated to New York City in order to work as a designer for Purple Label Ralph Lauren.
During my time as an intern at Ralph Lauren, I learned many new skills as both an apparel designer and concept designer for Men’s Purple Label. As an apparel designer I learned how to execute specification drawings accurately so that the factories in Italy were able to interpret my designs correctly. I also learned a great deal about garment fit, luxury fabrics and how to design for a target customer. As a concept designer for Purple Label Ralph Lauren I learned how to set the mood and tone for the upcoming collections in 2021. I worked in a small team to capture the essence of Ralph Lauren in a new concept, working closely with the creative director to create a new concept to be shown to Mr. Ralph Lauren. During my time as a concept designer I learned a great deal about colour, trend, capturing the mood of a brand and concept development. I feel incredibly lucky to have been able to work for such an iconic brand, and met many incredibly talented, inspiring and like-minded people.
