Welcome to my world

Just a catch up on what my second year entails....
One project is called Intermediate Design, Research and Development. This is basically loads of primary and secondary research into a sketchbook which we respond to through various different techniques in 2d and 3d form such as drawing, draping on the stand, sampling etc. Very in depth this year though. Eventually we will create two garments that can be an outfit from the choices developed.
The second is called Live Project. This is about working alongside a real designer called Teatum Jones. again we do all the research and respond to this creating a collection but only actually making one of the outfits. Look Teatum Jones up, they have some lovely garments and their attention to detail is beautiful.
The third project is called Enterprise where we work in groups of 6 to create a business. We first have to submit a business plan that consists of our product. We have to all create the same basic product with slight alterations whether that be in the prints, shape, embellishment etc.
Lots of work! Then also the theory side which is all about Design, Style and Identity.... bit like representation!
Will be an interesting but one chat year. Get my head down now

London

So on my way to London. Train gets delayed. Trains are so annoying when you're on such a tight schedule. I'm off to do some fabric sourcing for my three projects. I'm looking for cottons, silks, leathers and anything interesting that I can find. I also need quite a stiff fabric that will hold 3d shapes. I will show you what ice got later :)
