During these 10 weeks, most of my work assignments have<br />

been centred around two main projects to which later a third was added. Each project was<br />

a future collection of Kerstin Krause Madrid, one a showcase collection for this winter,<br />

inspired on the painter Max Beckmann – which is also the name of the collection; the<br />

other an autumn collection for 2016, Asian inspired.<br />

In general, my role during the internship has been Kerstin Krause’s design assistant, when<br />

it came to the collection building, designs, drawings and choosing fabrics of the two<br />

collections mentioned above. Among many tasks, I have been working with the social<br />

media issue of the brand, the communication outwards, advising and suggesting ideas.<br />

I’ve had many tasks related with Photoshop: in charge of the moodboards (overall and<br />

colour) of both collections, photomontage- collage with the aim of visualizing ideas for<br />

future projects, made a wedding <strong>report</strong>age of one of the brand’s wedding dresses. Among<br />

many things, I have used a lot of time on research, background knowledge (the setting of<br />

each collection) and image research for the respective moodboards. Adding to that I have<br />

also got tasks related to pattern making and sewing, adjusting patterns and sewing the<br />

sample of future pieces of the Max Beckmann collection. On top of all this recently, we<br />

had a photoshoot for our Max Beckmann- taking place around Madrid.
