Dear Ms. Miscue Smith
Re: Assistant fashion designer position
Im writing to apply for the position of assistant fashion designer, advertised on TVJ that shown on
Smile Jamaica on the date February 27, 2015.
Throughout my university course, I undertook a wide variety of work experience, including positions
at Rosemount Fashion Week and in Pose magazines style department. It can be seen from the
designs that Ive included in my portfolio (see attached) that I have a flair for colour and textures, an
innate understanding of trends and am competent working with most fabrics. I have exceptional
illustration and artwork skills and was awarded the Student Designer of the Year award in my final
year of college. I particularly enjoy working with silk and lace to design feminine pieces and I can
always be found experimenting with my own creations at home.
My current job at KitKit Fashion, where I have been employed for two years, has allowed me to be
involved with all areas of production from deciding on designs and fabric, to assisting with cutting
and distribution. It is a small company and I have been very grateful for the opportunity to be
involved with every aspect of the business; however, I feel I am now ready to move on to bigger and
better things in the fashion world.
For as long as I can remember, fashion has always been a major part of my life. For many years I
have immersed myself in all the latest Jamaican and international fashion news, allowing me to stay
one step ahead of trends and keep my eye out for new, up-and-coming designers.
I have been a long-standing and loyal customer of the Miscue brand for many years and it would be
an absolute honour to work for your company. I am passionate about fashion, clothes and fabrics and
I believe that my combination of unpaid work experience and employment has provided me with the
necessary skills to be an excellent assistant designer for Miscue
I look forward to meeting you and discussing the position with you further.
Kind regards

Lisa Smith
