NAKT Studio
Throughout my Fashion Design Internship at NAKT Studio, I got to work with a brand that specialises in alternative and provocative event wear- particularly for the vast rave scene in Berlin. This was exciting for me as I got to work with harsh materials that I may not have otherwise, and as it linked back to my final exhibition at university.
METARAPH X NAKT Frayed T-Shirt
This T-Shirt was a collaboration between NAKT Studio and renowned techno DJ METARAPH. Being a part of this project was very insightful for me- from watching the initial design session happen, to making the sample shirt, I enjoyed seeing the whole production process. As well as making the sample shirt, I made a large portion of the stock to sell.
Accessories
Many of my other responsibilities included making various of the brands' accessories, such as chokers, belts and harnesses. I enjoyed making these and seeing what variations can be made using a few materials.
Designs
I was tasked with coming up with a few different ideas for a design session we were planning. The designs were to be used as a basis for people during the session. I was given instructions to include metal rings, the 4cm cable and the Shibari rope the design session was based around; but other than that I had full creative freedom to come up with whatever I saw fit.
Styling
As well as manning the storefront when customers came in, I was given the responsibility of styling the mannequins whenever needed, and overall making sure the store looked aesthetically appealing and presentable.
