Wow! Easy to find helpful information.

thanks Kyrsty for the advice!
I was a little confused aswell coz I didn't know how to translate it!
But yeah thats right it's a work experience place I'm looking for!
And I hope I have change my spelling mistakes (it's so hard to write in an other language with out the spelling check in word)
At the moment I'm just working with something unintresting and will start a textile
printing course in spring, but its only 2 terms. I will try to improve my technique and set up a better portfolio so I can apply for a pattern cutting/design school and then go on to fashion university. I'm mostly in to fashion design, I need the qualification (preferably on paper) before I even can apply to a university in Sweden. And I also have a better chans if I have work experiences (im sure it's the same in UK) but if I want the swedish goverment to pay for my living and costs abroad I can't have a higher Diploma in further education. And it's hard to get a working experience place with out a degree......

I would love to help you with anything you want with the magazine, but I will be in Sweden during next term... But maybe you are interested in some kind of exchange from Sweden maybe you (or I can) want to write sth about the sylish kids or about the trends and fashion news in Scandinavia I will help you! That might be cool for your magazine to have som international inspiration or news! Tell me what you think about it! nothing is impossible!!!

Hi Josefin

When you say 'Practice work' do you mean work experience? I am a little confused!
Sounds like you know what you want but am a little unsure what your specialism is??
What are you aiming for if you were to do work experience? Do you specialise in designing/ textile printing/ art/ writing ?? I am putting together a magazine for my final project at Uni so if you wanted to help, that'll be cool. But I would have to find out what you are looking to gain out of this. Plus, I am aiming to finish the magazine at the end of May 2006, so will be finished before summer 06'.
If you wanted to get experience in the fashion industry, my advice is to get yourself out there. Write to PR companies/ magazines/ freelancers whoever you feel is relevant to what you want to do and offer to work for them. Send your C.V and telephone to chase them up about 5 days after you send the letter. Explain to them what you are looking for and check your English for spelling mistakes as many professionals won't even read the whole letter if there is a spelling mistake! Harsh I know, but it's the reality!
As a student myself, I know how hard it is to get work experience and you have to be really persistant if you want to get somewhere.

I would be happy to help you out if there is a place for you in the magazine
Hope the advice helps!
Hang in there!!
