About Me

Lingerie & Intimates

Hi, I'm Eleanor- Joy Edwards. I have recently finished my three years at De Montfort University studying BA (HONS) in Contour Fashion achieving a First Class Honours. As an intimate designer, my vision is fast-paced, forward-thinking and fashion-centred, specifically considering sustainability in all my designs. I have recently completed an internship designing for brands such as Asos and River Island which gave me my first step and insight into the industry life and the roles and responsibilities that are involved which have since exceeded my passion for design and has helped me discover my own design style and ways of working under strict time management. I am looking forward to experiencing life in another fashion workplace so I am able to share and demonstrate my own technical skills and bring my creativity to life. I am collaborative and determined to stay focused in the technical world of women's lingerie using my strategic planning and problem-solving while bringing high energy and commitment to a team as well as working independently and using my own initiative to succeed.

From designing to intricate and technical pattern cutting to the construction, I have loved being able to create garments which are empowering for women especially when it gives a purpose and a positive impact on the client. Putting the client as a priority is what interests me most and has since exceeded my design development.
