The pattern
Today we finished off our 60's style dress (thank god) and have been given a new live brief- what is a live brief? I had no idea before hand as well, and basically its a brief that is online and its competition!
The brief is a dress pattern that Giles Deacon the British fashion designer has put online on Showstudios.com for you to download and create your own version of his garment that he used in 2007 for his A/W collection. You can adapt the pattern to how you want it and you can use whatever fabrics take your fancy and you can be as innovative as possible. Once you have manufactured the dress you then have to then publish it online and wait to see who's the winner! Giles and his team will pick a garment to then feature in an exclusive fashion film!!!!
So today consisted off printing out all the information for this brief and sticking the pattern pieces together and cutting them out. So now Im ready to go and buy some fabric, but I really cant decided what colour or fabric I want to go for (hmmm). Anyway I best hurry up and decide as we only have 2 WEEKS to make this garment.. I MEAN 2 WEEKS!! As after the 2 weeks are up we are then going to photograph and shoot/style the garment ready to be published online and entered into the live brief.
