Camille Geelhand de Merxem

Senior Knitwear Designer
About

Driven, skilled and open-minded Senior Knitwear Designer with over 10 years of experience within the Luxury Goods industry. Dedication, a strong creative vision and an eye for detail are my strengths. I know how to combine these and convert them into high quality product and contemporary collections that are recognised for their innovative yet wearable designs. A high level of technical proficiency, particularly in knitwear construction and knitting techniques, has supported my fast progression in the industry. I have gained experience through international RTW positions, building strong relationships with mills and factories across the EU and Asia, working both collaboratively and independently, and recognizing the importance of fostering a positive team culture. With my strong decision-making skills and intuitive understanding of leadership, I am confident in my ability to guide collections to success.
