INTERNSHIP AT STUDIO
CÉCILE FEILCHENFELDT
During the three month internship in Paris, I worked primarily on fashion related projects and was given necessary insights about working with luxury brands.
BA Textile Design
2022
Under the guidance of the designer Cécile Feilchenfeldt, I was able to deepen my knowledge in knitting during my studies . I worked on four main projects, some of them shown at the 2022 summer fashion shows. In addition to a more precise way of working, I sharpened my eye for material, my visions of the possible became more fantastic, plus I gained insight into the ways of the fashion world through client meetings.
I am very grateful to have had the opportunity to learn from Cécile Feilchenfeldt and her assistant Clémentine Udron.

Knitted jewelry by Cécile Feilchenfeldt
Cécile Feilchenfeldt is also constantly working on new jewellery creations. Salons are the perfect situation to show new developments, therefore I was able to help composing and finalize the shown necklace for the "Salon Révévelations" 2022 at the Grand Palais Éphémère, Paris. The piece has been published in the magazine "Paris vous aime" N.11
