Still Catching Up!!!

Been through a number of projects that I haven't mentioned on here. "Applied Fashion Design" and Application of Design" before that, and I am in the process of "Research Practised" which is handed in next week. So coming up to the end of my 2nd year and the project I have enjoyed the most as well as achieved the highest mark is "Application of Design". I designed and created a pair of menswear shorts, this was the first time I have ever made anything ready-to-wear, and they did fit me for a bit, but it seems I may have lost a bit of weight, so now they fall down! When I get a bit of time I am going to either put some elastic in the waistband or put belt loops on them. I have used a picture of me in the shorts as a background for me CV.

"Applied Fashion Design" was the project we had before the Easter holiday's, a group design project. We went on a day trip to Manchester in the first week of this project. The aim of this trip was to see first hand the brand we had chosen to design for. Ours being MARC BY MARC JACOBS, I was in a group with Jennifer, Rose, Vanessa and Amelia. We met up briefly on the day to compare notes and discuss what we were looking for. Rose and myself were designing for menswear so we had a look around at the diffusion ranges for some other brands, like Paul Smith, Hugo Boss to name a few. I managed to take quite a few photos in the store which helped the group when we were thinking about layout for our presentation and other little details.
