Specialization International Production
February 2023 I started a new journey, called International Production. Before I moved to Ho Chi Minh for 4 months, I followed the WRAP junior auditor course, which I proudly passed.
For this specialization I traveled to Ho Chi Minh in Vietnam to gain working experience in an international fashion production company. The company where I follow this traineeship is called NBC Nhabe Garment Corporation. In the company I fulfill the role as a designer. Right now I am working on a ready made garment collection from leftover fabrics and trimmings in the company’s warehouse. Besides designing a collection for NBC, I write an advice report for them about the leftover problem and how they can attract new brand/customers with ready made garments. I am grateful for this opportunity and I enjoy working here every day.
In these 16 weeks that I life in Vietnam, I am also developing myself on personal goals for example; improving my English, stepping out of my comfort zone and building a network in Asia.
Specialization Make & Buy
From September 2022 until February 2023, I followed the specialization Make & Buy. This specialisation focuses on the fascinating world of the Fashion Buyer / Product Manager. This program results in the student’s ability to function as an assistant buyer or assistant product manager for a major private label retailer/ supplier or brand. The goal of the specialization is to Develop an operational buying plan for the Fall/Winter season starting from August 2023 up to the end of January 2024. This plan must show in detail how to reposition the chain in terms of assortment, presentation and promotion.
