Hello Readers!
I am a new blogger, and I hope to increase followers and produce posts that are interesting to people... I know many of you are aspiring fashion designers so this will give you an insight!
Now many of you may have a preconceived perception about Blackpool, from what you've seen, and how it's been portrayed in the media.. Truth is it has one of the best colleges and some amazing people from the arts and fashion have come from the seaside town... Hayley Tammadon (Delilah in Emmerdale and Dancing on ice) Nikki Sanderson (Corrie and Hollyoaks) Colleen Nolan to name a few..
I have been very excited about this post, and to introduce you to a very talented up and coming British fashion designer and free lance artist.
I introduce.. Jack Maden-Wilkinson.
I first met Jack back in 2000, when we started Baines High School together , in a town near Blackpool. (Where i also schooled with a very close friend of mine Nicola from Harts&Crosses)
In many peoples eyes, Jack's attention to detail and desire to make an impression on the world was already sparked!
Throughout school jack was very talented and art and textiles, when he reached Blackpool and The Fylde College to study Fashion Design , his talent and passion was noticed, he embarked on the start of what has and will continue to be a bright future in Fashion and Art.
Jack got his qualifications and continues his studies at the University of the Creative Arts (UCA) in Epsom, Surrey.
Jack flourished as he mingled with trainee designers alike, bouncing off those around him he was plummeted into the bigger world of fashion, attending fashion weeks and events,
WARNING - name dropping ahead!
Jacks mid-term internships were at international sportswear company - HEAD, where he designed new cycling wear and boys wear collections, which were to be stocked at TK MAXX, SPORTS DIRECT and TJ HUGHES!
Then... FIRETRAP but his talents to designing their Spring 2012 range!
The biggest Chapter was upon graduating University, out in the big wide world just went to further heights!!
Jack joined Manchester based company - SRG Design, where he worked with clients such as NEW LOOK, MATALAN and the ARCADIA GROUP.. (Ladies we all know what shops are traded under Arcadia!!)
Later Jack joined Blacks Leisure Group PLC as a Menswear & Product, and also working for MILLETS.
