Faye Robinson - 'My Placement at The All-in-One Company'

Faye Robinson is currently completing her Fashion Design with Marketing Degree at Northumbria University, and has joined The All-in-One Company to complete 3 months of her Placement year. We caught up with Faye to find out what she's been up too so far...

'My three month work experience adventure started in April at The All-in-one-Company. I was so nervous however quickly learnt there was no need to be once I met the team and completed my first day!

Throughout the first few weeks my daily tasks were to undertake market and fabric research. I began by looking at competitors, seeing what’s happening in the industry and how I could develop something innovative and exciting for the All-in- one -Company. After thorough research of high end materials, Merino, alongside Cashmere seemed to have the best properties that would cater for various customer needs. It was an exciting prospect to approach companies, ask questions and collect samples to show the team.

Throughout the researching process, other duties included sourcing fabrics for elements around the factory and help with final touches approaching the new experience launch. Further responsibilities were to create ‘kids fun pack’s’ and craft ideas for the crafty corner for people of all ages to complete whilst here at the All-in- one –Company. I have been lucky enough to have involvement throughout the run up to the launch with things such as photoshoots, filming and researching. It was interesting to see the behind the scenes preparation of bookings and how things were going to come together. Meeting the film crew and photographers was also a great experience and really enjoyable.

This week I will see the sample Merino Wool onesie in the cutting and construction process and I am so excited but nervous of the outcome!'
