Fashion Designer
I’ve been working with fashion design for the last 8 years and my work has been featured in international publications and media through the fashion brand Osklen, where I’ve been growing professionally and being recognized for my hard work and interest in increasing my knowledge over the past 6 years, since 2008. Throughout this time I have been responsible not only for the design but for the whole production process, such as dealing with suppliers, buyers as well as being in charge of my team and assistants. To do so, I need to be original, innovative and fresh with the design, reliable, comprehensive and attentive with my team and the suppliers. It is not difficult to do so when you love what you do.
Osklen is the leading fashion brand in Brazil, selected as Brazil's First Global Luxury Brand with 8 international stores and 70 national stores.
Before working at Osklen, I was in the Wholesale Industry Manufacturing custom-made woman's apparel for Brazilians brands
Since March 2013, I became responsible for the Women’s RTW jersey collection, casual and black label at Osklen but also designed several knitwear, denim and fabric pieces. In addition to that, I am getting into the photography and art direction but never letting fashion design beside.
I have decided that I am ready for a change and looking forward to move to NY. It is a city where I have been so many times and where I know that I could apply all my professional abilities because of the richness of the Fashion/Art industry.
I’m confident that my experience and knowledge of fashion photography would fit perfectly for this job position.
Looking forward to your positive feedback.
Sincerely,
Carla Maldonado
