Savilerow Interview





So yesterday was interview day. I was interviewed by Selom K. Amoa who's the senior designer and art director for Ozwald Boateng. Before the interview I was extremely nervous as I didn't know what to expect if anything I was prepared for quite a difficult/gruelling interview as I though they were going to be very difficult and hard to please and was starting to doubt myself and my work. The interview itself went really well Mr Amoa liked my work and thought I was a great designer, he complimented me on my designs and technical drawings and was surprised when I told him all my designs are hand drawn as apparently thats not very common anymore, he told me that this was impressive and said that I'm clearly a very good drawer. 

Overall the interview was a huge success and Mr Amoa said that my CV and portfolio were perfect except for one thing, and this is experience he continued and said if I had more experience I would have been perfect. Initially I felt slightly disappointed however after having time to reflect on the process I realised how huge it was to have such a successful person tell me that they liked my work and that i'd be perfect if I had more experience. I'm also more aware that to even get an interview with such a respectable company in the first place is massive and a great experience to learn from. 

Response from Interview
After my interview Selom emailed me with some links to books and websites that would help me learn more about tailoring which was really nice. The whole process has been a great learning curve and an enjoyable experience that reminded me how much I would love to get into tailoring.
