Interning @ The Refinery in HK
This year I was able to have the amazing opportunity of interning in Hong Kong. My internship at THE REFINERY was from the 19th February 2016 – 29th April 2016.
Curated by London Fashion Designer and Creative Director Elizabeth Lau, THE REFINERY sells a range of products from different high end and unique brands around the world including brands such as Lulu Guinness (UK), Moxham (UK), Peter Jensen (UK), SOXKS (UK), Proef (Japan) and NACH (France). These products include clothes, fashion accessories, jewelry and products from lifestyle brands and it is located in the middle of SoHo.
Elizabeth relocated from London to Hong Kong for her husband's work, not long after I finished interning with her in November 2013. It was very fortunate that I was able to have the opportunity to work with Elizabeth again 3 years later, especially in another country. When I first interned with Elizabeth I did not have many skills that I could offer however, this time around I was given a lot of responsibilities.
Even though I study and specialize in fashion design, I took on the role of basically a product and accessories design intern. I worked closely with Elizabeth for creative direction and I was also able to meet new people and create strong ties which I am thankful for.
Though Interning isn’t the most general (or allowed) route to take during studying abroad, if you know someone in the industry over there that you trust then I would advise to at least meeting up with them. Also another BIG BIG!! piece of advice I offer is to make sure that you complete your work experience before travelling as if you do not you are pretty much screwed for your Professional Practice module.

After being back home in London, I decided to visit my friends Molly and Holly who were also doing their exchange in Rotterdam !! These two girls traveled 5798 miles (roughly) to come visit me in Hong Kong, so I returned the love. I had an amazing week seeing sights, experiencing culture and lapping up the sun. 05/06/16-10/06/16 x
Evaluation of my exchange in Hong Kong
My Study Abroad exchange took place from 8th January 2016 till May 2016 in Hong Kong at The Hong Kong Polytechnic University.
Despite the numerous strengths of this University, I have also noticed many weaknesses and points where UWE surpasses it. Unlike UWE where you are taught with your year group alone, PolyU has a system where the classes can be mixed with different levels and also different departments, sometimes unrelated to fashion. Due to this, many of the classes began with them being taught at a very basic level, so I often found myself wanting to be challenged. With there being 13 teaching weeks in the second semester, the first 6/7 weeks’ account for about 30/40% of the grade, meaning that the last 5/6 weeks are the most important. Because of the pace we were being taught at I did expect the approaching workload, however I didn’t expect the stress level to be so intense. I feel that UWE has a better work pace and that it is more tailored to the skills we already know or will learn that year. Their teaching methods did not make me feel unprepared for the final project, it was just more the case that I felt unprepared with time management, but only for the last project. Another weakness I found is that their sewing room is not big enough for the amount of students they have. UWE utilizes their space far more efficiently with clear sections for different machines and uses and also far more machines available. I also feel that UWE has better steam iron facilities as sometimes I felt the irons at PolyU would leave a mark on my fabric.
To conclude, I feel that taking part in this exchange has strengthened my skills and made me more confident to proceed into 3rd year. I feel that by taking Advanced Apparel Pattern Cutting, I am more confident now to design and make more challenging garments as I feel prior to this exchange, I usually held myself back when it came to making because I didn’t feel confident enough. One thing I do regret though is not utilizing all of PolyU’s facilities to the max. I found out too late that I had access to certain machines and therefore I regret not sampling on them. Before doing this exchange I knew that I had no problem travelling abroad for work, but actually having the opportunity to experience it has only made me more excited for my career. I have made many new friends from literally all over the world now, I have traveled around Asia and opened my eyes to new techniques and gathered so much inspiration. I have also made strong connections with my PolyU tutors and employers and therefore I feel that I have matured both in mind and skills.
