At Diane Von Furstenburg, I created samples to be used as inspiration for both the Spring 2014 and Pre-Fall 2014 collections along with mood boards, tech packs, mock-ups, and cut tickets.  I researched inspiration for the designers for future collections along with  assisting the fabric R&D Coordinator by sourcing fabrics and notions for upcoming samples and mock ups.  For the Spring 2014 Fashion show, I assisted the designers with minor alterations to garments, assisting models with needs, and shadowed and observed the techniques of the technical designer as well as designers throughout the process.
