Second year Fashion Management & Marketing student Eve Jappy is settling into her new life in Amsterdam whilst on her work placement...

7.30am: My alarm goes off and I jump in the shower, getting myself ready for a full day in the office at Calvin Klein.

The first thing I had to get used to in Amsterdam was that everyone cycles around the city. So, of course I got myself a bike and now I feel like I fit in with the locals!

9.00am: I head up to the sixth floor to the Calvin Klein Creative Hub, where I work with the visual merchandising, creative services, store design and architecture teams.

10.30am: We have a team meeting between the visual merchandisers and store design. I’m learning so much from sitting in on meetings and listening to everyone’s creative processes.

3.00pm: This afternoon I’ve been assisting on a photoshoot for some of the new women’s lingerie range.

This has been a great experience for me, working alongside photographers, stylists and the shoot manager. It’s a lot of work and running around, which can be tiring, but I’m having a great time and learning so much from everyone.

8.00pm: I head out for dinner a beautiful restaurant called MaMa Kelly with some girls from work.

In my spare time, I’ve been trying to explore as much of the city as possible. So far, De Pijp has been my favourite neighbourhood. It’s got a very cool, young and trendy vibe.
