Fashion Graduate Julie Pyun

Also thanks to my peers at Whitecliffe, I was inspired day and night. The end of year shows helped solidify my identity as a young creative and were the foundation to starting a real portfolio.

 

I was able to present my portfolio to Adrienne Winkelmann at the end of 2017 and was offered my first serious job as a Senior Salesperson. This position taught me a lot about tailoring and the importance of client relations in the fashion industry, particularly at a brand such as Adrienne’s.

 

My journey with Adrienne ended short of a year when I moved to New York on a J-1 visa. I was lucky enough to present my portfolio at Rick Owens, which led to an offer of a Sales Associate role. By working at Rick Owens I have been fortunate enough to be exposed to high-level clients, industry expertise and an inspiring and creative environment each and every day.

 

Ultimately the education and experience I gained at Whitecliffe thoroughly prepared me for the roles I have taken on, both in New Zealand and New York.
