Gloria is a German designer with 7+ years of work experience as Fashion Designer and Design Manager, with a very versatile background in designing apparel (Outerwear, wovens, tailoring, jersey, sportswear...), accessories such as jewelry, shoes, bags and small leather goods.
Before Gloria settled in the Netherlands she worked as Designer for H&M in Stockholm on a variety of representative collections such as ´Designer collaborations´, `sustainable-´, `premium quality´- and `Studio´-collections. Where her work was focused around concept/color development and designing the collections.
Her position as Design Manager at WE Fashion brought her eventually to the Netherlands. Where she was leading their women’s design team and created trend directions for the collections as well as the introduction of a studio line, resulting in updating their womenswear towards a more trend oriented image.
At Denham she worked as Sr. Designer on their non-denim womenswear line from concepting and designing to development.Working on such a variety of projects, concepts and collections, gave me good insights into retail and brand structures, taught me to design towards different required styles and be very flexible and hands on.
With my background in working for retailers and brands I am used to translating trends into both commercial and exciting collections. I am proactive and used to work independently while keeping close collaboration with marketing, production and visual merchandising.
