They will have good drawing and presentation skills and a basic knowledge of pattern cutting and garment construction/printing.
But they will also be flexible and able to undertake any tasks required of them.
Please note that the placements are full time and unpaid, but travel expenses within central London will be reimbursed on a weekly basis.
ELEY KISHIMOTO traditionally have not taken on graduates as placement students due to financial difficulties it may cause, and also commitment to a set period of time.
Please take this into consideration before proceeding further with your application as we would require a fixed and definite commitment from accepted placements.

Successful applicants will be called to interview, but please note that a call to interview would not guarantee a placement.
Unfortunately we are unable to interview candidates immediately who hand deliver CV's without prior call to interview, and we would advise against this application method.
As we receive many applications and although we endeavour to respond to everyone, it is not always possible to reply to unsuccessful applications due to sheer volume.
