Heather Anderson

Nottingham Trent University

I'm a second year fashion design student studying at Nottingham Trent University. I love the practical and technical side of fashion design and I'm interested in pursuing a career as a garment technologist. This academic year I studied abroad at FIT in New York, where I got to explore a range of new techniques and disciplines. Here I did an accessory design class which first introduced me to working with leather. I loved this experience and it encouraged me to explore working with leather for my second year final project. In this project I challenged the structural properties of leather, while expanding my knowledge of construction.

Working with our partners at Arts Thread to develop lifelong learning and career opportunities for students of fashion and design. Our partnership provides the opportunity to compete on a world stage, participate in industry led workshops, set up an outstanding portfolio and gain access to the resources that will kickstart careers in fashion and design.
