1. New brief
Finally is my answer to that even though I did enjoy the textiles brief and I took a lot from it I feel that textiles isn't my strong point. But any how the new brief is exciting and its the final two of this year (wooooooooo!) so this means it involves making the final garment which I am super looking forward to. Up to now we have only carried out a few tasks which were breaking down the brief, putting together a time management plan for the brief, a task list and critical path which is basically a list of everything you need to do in order with deadline dates by the side. Whilst doing that we also added to the side how each task fits with the fashion design cycle. And the first task of the brief is to research into contemporary and historical fashion designers and looking at there concepts for there collection and taking inspiration off them for my own work and research.
2. Samples and materials
Theres are two parts to this like everything I seem to be doing, so part one I have got my fabric for my shirt dress which I cant wait to cut out the pattern for! I chose to use denim for this dress as its pretty diverse to the other fabric I have used, but (theres always a but) I haven't just chose one piece of denim, ooh no thats far too simple... I have got two different shades to use. I have it all planned out in my head so fingers crossed I can pull it off. Part two, I have got to start collecting fabric samples for my final garment. I have started putting together a little note book with them in as I collected some when we went to London, so now Im on the hunt for some swatches.
3. Work experience
This week I have got some work experience a head of me which I am really looking forward too! Its with a costume designer based in Manchester and we are going to be sourcing outfits for a Tv show that we will be filming at the BBC next week! So when I get all the info and goss I will inform you all! I am super excited and I hope it gives me a real good insight to the job role and the industry.
Thats all I think, well what I can think of at the moment but yer I have a pretty busy/ non-stop couple of weeks a head of me which Im looking forward to! So I will report back ASAP haha
