Liesbeth - Collection manager
What is your best memory of CKS?
The collaboration of all departments when we organize a launch event for a collection.
What is the biggest challenge in your job?
Trying to match the collection as well as possible to the needs of the customer, integrating new trends and bringing the right price/quality.
How does your department contribute to the functioning of CKS?
I work for the design team that creates the most beautiful collections season after season. We also always work very innovatively with materials and colors.
What does a typical work day look like for you?
No two days are the same, there is so much variation in a week. One day you're working on dozens of Excel files, the next you're at a trade show surrounded by the latest collections - which you then stand in between trying on the best looks for the photo shoots.
How is the working relationship with colleagues within the department and throughout CKS?
A fun, diverse team with many different personalities who go for the same goal.
How important is fashion in your life?
Fashion is always present, I find it immensely interesting to watch people and how they dress and how each person translates their taste and style into a look. I also always relate memories to the outfits people were wearing at the time.
How do you describe the atmosphere at CKS?
There's a lot of work and it's always busy, but I'm part of a passionate team that works just as hard every day.
To conclude, please complete with 1 word: working at CKS is … Challenging and varied!
