Been looking at this website to get more information on fashion jobs and how to get into the jobs what the working environment is like and so on and whilst looking through the qualifications what did I come across but, none other than our very own little foundation in fashion being valued more in industry and placed higher on their qualification scale than the very own Ba in fashion but I’m guessing that a foundation with a top up to Ba is going to be a good route to head for the who knows maybe a part time work part time Ma, own business or just industry who knows?? But check it out!!

Gorgeous or grotesque..........

well well well the be all and end all of our FdA the big show the showcase the event call it what you want.... but so far what are my thoughts on this topic erm tad annoying the time issue I would love to be able to research more and have more design time but hey ho it’s got to be done but what if it’s not as spectacular as every1s hoping am I playing it safe is t too wacky questions questions questions and how much is too much when does the gap between fantastic and kitsch become too small is it gorgeous or grotesque is there to much going on hmmm

I choose to base my collection all about designing from organic forms like truly getting in there and designing from what we don’t see looking at small flowers maximising them by 3000 times and then try and fit a ridiculous Amazonian style woman in the middle confused .. You should be ... amazed you will be watching this space!!!

Claire

you know what I think I’m just going to go ahead and say it I think I have a little thing for Claire I don’t really know what it is or why but I just think she’s amazing. She’s so inspiring and I like how she can get excited and inspire others about there chosen subjects. I love her craziness and randomness it just amuses me I’m glad we have her coming in to help us and give us direction. it’s just nice to be able to design to showcase our talents and do what we want to do though I do like designing to certain cliental but I just love the opportunity to go wild make it crazy and amazing so looking 4ward to it all now though I’ve got some work done just don’t want to stick it in sketch book hahaha

Branding

We had a recent pprd session on branding which was fun but I don’t know really got me thinking about it like we did a little silly 1 but it definitely something to think about for future epically if I want to end up in the Enterprise Pavilion but I don’t know I shall get back to you with this branding malarchy see how it goes

some very wise words

We all gain inspiration from many places, many of us do not talk about our inspirations or our dreams because we feel that we will not live up to those who inspire us and I doing so make ourselves seems smaller, concluding in the inspiration disappearing. I embrace my inspiration, and aim to be like those that inspire me Galliano, Westwood, Saab, but not only in fashion but in life there have been so many inspirational people in this world and I just hope one day people will look up to me for inspiration. Here is part of a speech from the son of Martin Luther King Jr given at the remembernece ceremony of Michael Jackson which I believe sums up my ethos in life and how I plan to love my life never thought I could find it in such well written words

"My father once said that in life, one must discover what their calling is and they must do their jobs so well that the living dead and unborn could do no better. He constantly told us to do our best, by stating that if you cannot be a pine on the top of the hill why just is a shrub in the valley. But be the best little shrub on the side of the road. Be a bush if you cannot be a tree. If you cannot be a highway, just be a trail. If you cannot be the sun, just be a star. For it isn't by the size that you win or fail, you've got to be the best at what you are. In life, if it falls to be a street sweeper, you must sweep the streets so well. In fact, you must sweep streets like Beethoven composed music. Sweep streets like Shakespeare wrote poetry. Sweep streets like Raphael painted pictures. Sweep streets so well that all the hosts of the heavens and earths would have to pause and say, here lives the great street sweeper that did his house well"

Such an inspirational passage don’t you think?

CRITIQUE

the final crit of the final jacket all in all they are beautiful not much more can be said :D went well am very pleased they look amazing, they all go together and yet keep the uniqueness of the designers fingerprints within them which was 1 thing we were very keen not to lose out on they were all styled to tie in with trends from the promoters trend books and were a perfect example of how a team can work well together and yet still respect each other’s styles and not have to compromise overall verdict ... we rule!!

SHOWstudio

During the first term we went to the show studio fashion revolution exhibition at sommerset house, to research our understanding and preparing us for our theory unit, discussing the difference between interactive exhibitions and normal gallery exhibitions. although I’m not sure which I prefer I mean I really enjoyed the show studio one being able to interact with the exhibition and the live photo shoot was an amazing experience to watch but after on the way to meet back up at the coach I popped into the v & a museum took a little nosey around the fashion exhibition there and although it was just a static exhibition there were some lovely garments on show which were beautiful then leading me to question which do I prefer the interactive of the classical?? Ohhh lets see what conclusions we come to in the essay oh joy: /

FAD

herd back from the competition and afraid it’s a no but hey ho maybe next time kind of done me a favour actually don’t think I’d be able to cope with the collection theory unit and all other things crazy and wonderful at units as well as trying to do all the work from that so never mind done us a favour actually lol see there’s always a bright outlook on things :)

hows the jacket going ?

well the jacket atm is going okay suppose got quite a bit to do but the beading is taking allot longer than thought but I think it’s well worth it looks amazing and adds a more vintage look which is what we were going for just laser cutting to go and then finish it all exciting now whoop

Year 3 wooop

On Friday we had tutorial about what we want from the 3rd year as for us I think it’s more tailored to what we want from the course which to me is an incredible opportunity I’m really looking forward to it now and can’t wait to hear more about it

Cool whiteboard wall thingys

For this session of PPRD we were given cards with things that companies would be looking for in hiring us on which we had to expand upon and go into more detail and explain why I found this session pretty helpful actually and rather informative we also looked at some real cool cv
To give us ideas on how to make our own stand out and look more attention grabbing which was really cool
