Dawid Thomaszewski
I participated in a short term internship at Dawid Thomaszewski, a couture brand based in Berlin. Throughout my time here we prepared a variety of outfits for Berlin Fashion Week 2024. Getting to see the preparations for such a big show was an incredibly interesting experience, and something I was lucky to be a part of.
The main project I was tasked with was hand sewing feathers onto this skirt. Due to one of the fabrics being tulle, I had to be incredibly careful when stitching, whilst also making sure each feather was secure. Being able to work so carefully on something for so long was not always easy, but was incredibly rewarding. It has given me an even bigger appreciation for couture than I already had, and has proved that I am capable of creating such intricate pieces.
Other work I was entrusted with was cutting out and basting the pattern for a blouse. As both materials used were fairly difficult to work with, this was a great learning experience for me, primarily with the cutting of the tulle as it was something I haven't worked with in this aspect before.
