Pros

You get to work with pretty clothes, apart from that none.

Cons

Do not work here if you value your mental health. MINIUM 50 hour work week but you always go over. The run up to fashion week you work over 70 hours. 7 days a week. No lunch break, you have 10 minutes to eat your food, which normally gets interrupted and you have to do task. Any boundaries you have or try to have get crossed. The owner is very controlling of when you take time off. 3 days off for Christmas then decides when you can take holiday, which is never. She’ll give you random days, never a full week. Working here short term or long term is not sustainable for anyone. Its mentally and physically draining. The owner will over work you and does not care about her employes. People don’t stay here long term, the company has a quick turn over rate. It’s not a professional working environment at all. You will get shouted at and belittled. Please for your own sake do not work or intern here.

Pros

If you are on universal credit and haven't got much experience in the fashion industry, then this might be ideal for you temporarily as they offer a kickstart scheme. But don't expect to be doing creative tasks all the time - you might be counting wine stock, lifting heavy boxes up and down 2 sets of stairs or taking out the trash every now and then. You will be asked to work a trial week, so that's 5 full shifts, but you'll be paid your basic expenses. Company has a good history and will look good on your CV.

Cons

You are left in a very small and compact design room with one other person, who is the seamstress that works non stop all day. You'll be left alone to complete tasks with the sound of the sewing machine ringing in your ear, even when you get home. And it can be difficult to ask for help when english is not his first language and the employer is upstairs in her flat or in the other room busy with meetings. It doesn't seem like a sustainable place to work long term. The seamstress' work is not appreciated and is often talked down to. The employer will not recognise your efforts. Understand that being a studio assistant you'll be on the floor sweeping up threads and fabric scraps with a dustpan and brush as your not trusted on the machines. I wish I had known this before agreeing to trial. You are just there to make the company look good because whenever a client comes in as you are made to wear a calico coat with the logo.

Pros

Worked across all departments, was given a lot of responsibility, I learned a lot of skills. Employer was demanding but fair.

Cons

It's not a relaxing job. You are expected to be very precise and accurate, and it is easy to make mistakes.
